NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — A man on Facebook Marketplace is claiming to sell Orleans Parish jail slippers, which, in the video he posted on Facebook, claims that these are the slippers of one of the 10 inmates who escaped from the Orleans Justice Center last Friday.
The Facebook Marketplace post reads that he’s selling the slippers for $35, that the slippers are size 10 and a half, and the condition is used/good.

In the video posted to Facebook Marketplace, the man selling them said “Ladies and Gentlemen what you see here today is hot, a red hot item, actually red orange. These are actual Orleans Parish prison slippers. These are the actual slippers worn by the inmates that escaped.”
WGNO asked the man how he got the slippers to sell and he said that they were found and “given to him.”
