Hours before Jackson’s capture was announced Tuesday night, Caddo Parish Sheriff Henry Whitehorn Sr. held a media briefing at the Caddo Correctional Center to address the security failures that enabled Jackson’s escape. Whitehorn took full responsibility. A second deputy should have been assigned to transport Jackson, the sheriff said. Whitehorn announced a series of protocol reforms, including mandatory dual-deputy transport for all inmates classified as high-risk. The Caddo Parish District Attorney’s Office noted that Jackson — a convicted armed robber who also faces two counts of second-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder — should have been transported under heightened security procedures given his criminal history.
