THERE'S A KILLER ON THE ROAD & OTHER PRISON ESCAPES

[HairOfTheDog]

I don't blame your friends for being concerned Six.

Richard Matt and David Sweat are convicted killers; Matt with no parole possibility until 2032 and Sweat with no parole possibility at all. They have little to nothing to lose if they commit more crimes on the run.

Having all these prison-break stories in one thread has provided me a new perspective -- it happens more frequently than I'd previously imagined.



The New York prison from which Matt and Sweat escaped is ^ Clinton Correctional Facility. It's a MAXIMUM SECURITY STATE PRISON, for Christ's sake -- the largest in the state and reserved for the most hardened criminals.

And still, these guys managed to pull a modern-day Andy Dufresne. Some heads should roll at that prison. It's insane that these guys were able to use power tools without detection for a couple of days and drill a path back into society.

The prison is about 5 hours drive from NYC and only 25 minutes from the Canadian border. They had a head-start and help on the inside and outside, IMO. I wonder if they're in Canada, eh?
