I hope that Sweat gets taken alive, only because he's the one direct source of information for authorities to learn exactly who aided the murderers in the escape and how it was all facilitated.
It's inexcusable that Joyce Mitchell was allowed to maintain an ongoing relationship with the inmates even after her inappropriateness had been reported and investigated, and that Gene Palmer felt entitled to break policy and deliver to the murderers a huge package without running it through the metal detector, and that security guards were reportedly sleeping on the job when they were being paid to be watching prisoner activity. They, and anybody else involved, need to be held accountable and those gaping holes in security need to be plugged immediately.
But, I imagine Sweat would rather suicide by cop than spend the rest of his life holed up with no privileges.
Whether he's ultimately taken dead or alive, I hope it happens soon and that he doesn't hurt or kill anybody until then.
