VICTORY, Justice.*

We granted certiorari in this case to determine whether the lower courts were erroneous in holding the State of Louisiana, Department of Public Safety and Corrections ("DPSC"), liable in connection with injuries inflicted upon plaintiff by an escaping prisoner who was incarcerated in a parish jail for violating his parole, and, if the DPSC is liable, to determine the correct method for apportioning damages.
