Sheriff Susan Hutson's re-election campaign suffers after a violent inmate's mistaken release due to a clerical error.

Orleans Parish Sheriff Susan Hutson's re-election campaign faces challenges after the mistaken release of violent inmate Khalil Bryan from the Orleans Justice Center, occurring only two months after a major jailbreak involving 10 inmates. The release, due to a clerical error involving a name mix-up, has led to calls for the sheriff to seek help in managing the jail, which operates under a federal consent decree. Hutson has apologized and admitted to disciplinary actions, but her campaign is hurt by poor favorability and lack of financial support.
