In this episode, Ron and Kristin discuss the latest chaos out of New Orleans – a shocking jail escape that reads more like a movie script than a real-life breakdown of leadership. Ron adds his experience with jails and shares some insight on how such an easy escape was facilitated. This episode covers the leadership failures, the oversights, staffing, outdated technology and other elements of this escape. The only humor came when it was noted that the escapees left a message scratched above the hole they escaped through: "To Easy LOL." Don't miss this important and entertaining episode!
