WBRZ reported Wednesday that three inmates escaped from the prison. Officials said 24-year-olds Keith Eli and Jonathan Jevon Joseph chipped away at the mortar on a "degrading" wall, allowing them to remove concrete blocks from the wall and escape.

Authorities captured Joseph on Friday, officials said.

A third inmate, Joseph Allen Harrington , 26, of Melville, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after a standoff in Port Barre.
