Jefferson Parish president Cynthia Lee Sheng is the latest elected official to call for the shutdown of the escape-prone Bridge City Center for Youth.
Six inmates escaped early Sunday in the detention center's fifth escape since last November.
All six have been recaptured, but not before one of them reportedly shot a man during a carjacking in Uptown New Orleans.
Police say 17-year-old Kendell Myles shot a 59-year-old man, who is in critical condition.
Gov. John Bel Edwards's office says he will reveal a plan for the facility's future today.
