TALLULAH, La. (AP) - Corrections officials say they’ve caught all seven state inmates who climbed a perimeter fence to escape from a jail in northeastern Louisiana.

Spokesman Ken Pastorick says the last was caught at 9:15 p.m. Wednesday, about 10 hours after the escape from the Madison Parish Detention Center in Tallulah.

The jail is run by a private company called LaSalle Corrections .
