Prison worker arrested in N Y escape plot at Dannemora
Joyce Mitchell, 51, a tailor shop instructor at Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, was arrested on charges including first degree promoting prison contraband and fourth degree criminal facilitation. Authorities say she befriended inmates David Sweat and Richard Matt and allegedly agreed to be a getaway driver, though she did not appear as planned. The case surfaces as more than 800 officers search the Adirondacks area for the two escapees, who fled after cutting walls and a steam pipe to reach a manhole. Mitchell faces suspension without pay as the investigation continues.
