'I cannot spend a moment putting politics over your needs. Now is the time to focus on security, accountability, and public safety' Hutson said.
Hutson also pointed out actions taken so far in the form of suspensions, an arrest and cooperation with the Attorney General's investigation as law enforcement still seeks to capture the remaining inmate captured following Orleans Justice Center escapes
