Gary C. Price, 21, was taken into custody in New Orleans East on Monday.
The four inmates were transferred to the notorious Louisiana State Penitentiary, also known as Angola prison, where they will be on lockdown 23 hours a day.
A prison maintenance worker was arrested on Tuesday and charged with helping the 10 inmates to escape.
