An inmate who escaped from the correctional center of the parish of Orleans in May and was fleeing for more than a month, authorities said Friday.

Massey was custody before 3:30 pm, he said, and refused to provide additional details about the Council.
At the time of his escape, Massey, 33, was imprisoned for charges of domestic abuse that involved strangulation, theft of motor vehicles and a rape of probation, said the state police in a press release.
Additional charges can be presented, the agency said.
Massey will be taken to the state’s maximum security prison in Angola, northeast of Baton Rouge, Louisiana State Police, Colonel Robert Hodges told journalists.
An inmate, Derrick Groves, remains in general.
Groves was convicted of second degree murder and attempt at second degree in October.
“We are going to capture you,” New Orleans, Anne Kirkpatrick. “Face yourself peacefully.”
The officials responsible for enforcing the law said that a reward of $ 50,000 remains available to obtain information that leads the arrest of their forests.
They were among the 10 people accused of taking a bathroom from a cell wall and fleeing through a hole in the Justice Center of the Orleans parish on May 16.
A message, “To Easy Lol”, was seen in the wall in photos published by the authorities.
More than a dozen people have been arrested and accused of helping in their escape, including a prison maintenance worker who the authorities accused of cutting the water in the cell so that the inmates could remove the toilet.
A maintenance worker, Sterling Williams, has denied that he has played a role in his escape. He said his client turned off the water because the bathroom in a unused disability cell was clogged.
