Speaker 2: Hadn't went no girls? I hey one, and welcome back

7
00:01:31,719 --> 00:01:35,120
to Bloody Angola, a podcast one hundred and forty two

8
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,680
years in the making, the complete story of America's bloodiest prison.

9
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:45,040
I'm Jim Chapman, and today I am continuing with another

10
00:01:45,159 --> 00:01:49,879
episode from the High Bristophilia series and the subject of

11
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:55,799
today's episode is Joyce Mitchell, the Department of Corrections employee

12
00:01:56,079 --> 00:02:01,000
who in twenty fifteen was convicted of providing material support

13
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:08,039
to Clinton Correctional Facility prisoners Richard Matt and David Sweat

14
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,479
in the way of hacksaw blades, chisels and other tools

15
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,919
during their escape of prison. And you will not believe

16
00:02:16,719 --> 00:02:21,199
how she got that contraband in there, which I will

17
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,360
cover later on in the story. So let's get into

18
00:02:25,479 --> 00:02:29,800
it and I'll give you a little background on Joyce Mitchell, who,

19
00:02:29,879 --> 00:02:33,639
by the way, went by Tilly. She was fifty one

20
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,680
years old when everything I'm about to tell you went down.

21
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,240
She was married, she was a mother to three children.

22
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,960
She was on her second marriage, and according to her

23
00:02:45,039 --> 00:02:50,319
first husband, she was a serial cheater. Now, her first

24
00:02:50,439 --> 00:02:54,759
husband worked in a stitching factory with her that was

25
00:02:54,879 --> 00:02:59,840
located inside of Clinton Correctional Facility in New York, and

26
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,319
they didn't work directly for the prison. They were kind

27
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,759
of contracted by the prison. So, according to him, she

28
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,680
started having an affair with another worker in that factory.

29
00:03:12,719 --> 00:03:16,759
His name was Lyle Mitchell. Her first husband. He finds

30
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,479
out about it because Lyle's girlfriend had caught the two

31
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:26,360
having sex, and she told Tilly's first husband about it,

32
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:31,159
and it wasn't long before they divorced, and eventually she

33
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:37,520
ended up marrying Lyle Mitchell. So, on June sixth of

34
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:43,960
twenty fifteen, two inmates, Richard Matt and David Sweat, they

35
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,400
escaped from Clinton Correctional Facility and they remained on the

36
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,439
run for nearly a month. Now, how did they manage

37
00:03:52,439 --> 00:03:57,000
to escape one of the toughest prisons in the United States?

38
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,960
That in and of itself is pretty shocking. That's what

39
00:04:01,039 --> 00:04:03,800
we're going to talk about today, And we're going to

40
00:04:03,879 --> 00:04:08,599
start off telling you about Richard Matt, whose prison nickname

41
00:04:09,159 --> 00:04:15,000
was conveniently Hacksaw, so he was known as Rick on

42
00:04:15,039 --> 00:04:18,680
the outside. He was born in nineteen sixty six and

43
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,759
he was raised in a suburb of Buffalo, New York.

44
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,680
He had a daughter, but he abandoned her when she

45
00:04:26,879 --> 00:04:29,680
was still an infant, and at that time they didn't

46
00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:35,120
have any relationship. Now, in nineteen eighty six, while serving

47
00:04:35,199 --> 00:04:39,759
a one year sentence for assault, Matt climbed a fence

48
00:04:39,879 --> 00:04:44,000
and escaped Erie County Correctional Center. He was on the

49
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,519
lamb for about four days. He actually hopped a train,

50
00:04:47,959 --> 00:04:53,600
made his way to his brother's house, and was eventually apprehended. Then,

51
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,240
in nineteen ninety one, Matt convinced a fellow prisoner by

52
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:03,120
the name of David Tesler to pay fifteen thousand dollars

53
00:05:03,319 --> 00:05:06,839
bailed to get him released while awaiting trial on a

54
00:05:06,959 --> 00:05:11,720
rape charge. Now, the way he taught this guy into

55
00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:16,519
paying that fifteen grand was upon his bail, he said

56
00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:21,480
he would kill the witnesses in Tesler's trial. Those witnesses

57
00:05:21,519 --> 00:05:27,199
included Tesler's then wife and her parents. So Tesler he

58
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,519
bails Rick Matt out of jail, and rather than doing

59
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,000
what he said he would do. Rick Matt actually goes

60
00:05:35,079 --> 00:05:40,480
to Tesler's wife, who incidentally was the grandfather of the

61
00:05:40,519 --> 00:05:46,319
founder of Warner Brothers Studio and heiress to an enormous fortune,

62
00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:50,480
and he tells her about the plan, the murder for

63
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,040
higher plan that he had with that prisoner. The two

64
00:05:54,079 --> 00:05:56,879
of them then go to the police and he said

65
00:05:56,959 --> 00:06:01,600
in exchange for that information, he wanted a reduction in

66
00:06:01,639 --> 00:06:05,480
his prison sentence, which he actually got. So in nineteen

67
00:06:05,639 --> 00:06:09,079
ninety five he goes up for parole and he said,

68
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,480
quote when I got out, I told his wife, Look,

69
00:06:13,759 --> 00:06:16,079
this guy bailed me out of jail and he has

70
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,399
a hit out on you unquote. So he gets parole,

71
00:06:20,519 --> 00:06:23,600
but a piece of shit like this, you know, he

72
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,120
can't stay on the straight and narrow for law. In

73
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,879
nineteen ninety seven, Rack Matt in an accomplice named Lee Bates,

74
00:06:32,079 --> 00:06:35,240
they kidnapped a seventy six year old man by the

75
00:06:35,319 --> 00:06:40,319
name of William Rickerson, who was Matt's former boss. Now,

76
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,079
Matt believed that Rickerson had a large sum of money

77
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,360
hidden and at gunpoint, he demanded to know where that

78
00:06:48,439 --> 00:06:50,759
money was. And this is a seventy six year old

79
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,319
man y'all. The two ended up driving this seventy six

80
00:06:54,399 --> 00:06:57,199
year old man to Ohio and back. It was a

81
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,600
total of twenty seven hours, and the whole time they

82
00:07:01,639 --> 00:07:04,360
had this seventy six year old in the trunk of

83
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:09,199
the car. They would even stop periodically several times back

84
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,560
and forth on this trip just to open the trunk

85
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,680
and beat the shit out of this guy. So Matt

86
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:20,920
eventually kills the man by breaking his neck before dismembering

87
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:25,319
him with a hacksaw and throwing his body parts into

88
00:07:25,399 --> 00:07:29,600
the Niagara River. That's how he got the nickname in

89
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:35,120
prison Hacksaw. The entire robbery netted less than one hundred

90
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,839
dollars cash, a wedding ring, in some credit cards. That's it.

91
00:07:39,439 --> 00:07:43,360
And it was at this point that Matt committed this

92
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,600
crime that he flees and he goes to Mexico, and

93
00:07:47,639 --> 00:07:51,920
it's when he's in Mexico on February twentieth of nineteen

94
00:07:52,079 --> 00:07:55,680
ninety eight, that Rick Matt isn't done killing people. He

95
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,800
kills a second man in the border town of Mattamorro.

96
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:05,160
The man known as Charles Perrault was an engineer working

97
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,480
in that area, and Matt attempted to rob him. He

98
00:08:08,519 --> 00:08:12,000
follows into a bathroom, he pulls a knife on him,

99
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,720
but he couldn't resist ends up stabbing this guy to

100
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,360
death in the restroom of a local bar. And he

101
00:08:18,439 --> 00:08:22,240
was soon arrested and he was sentenced to twenty three

102
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,560
years in a Mexican prison for that martyr. Now, even

103
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,399
being in a Mexican prison did not stop Matt from

104
00:08:30,439 --> 00:08:34,080
trying to escape, and he nearly accomplishes that when he

105
00:08:34,159 --> 00:08:38,159
climbs the roof of the prison in Mexico before being

106
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,559
shot by guards. Now he wasn't shot one time or

107
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:46,559
even six times. He was shot nine times. However, he

108
00:08:46,639 --> 00:08:50,480
would still survive, and in two thousand and seven he

109
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,039
found his way back into the United States to face

110
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,480
trial for the murder of that seventy six year old

111
00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,679
I told you about. William Rickerson, his accomplice that murder,

112
00:09:00,759 --> 00:09:04,519
ended up testifying against him and Rick Matt received a

113
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,919
sentence of twenty five to life for a second degree murder,

114
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,279
with no chance of parole until twenty thirty two. Now,

115
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,919
the interesting thing about all of this is that when

116
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,639
he was released from that Mexican prison and extradited to

117
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:24,000
the United States, it wasn't because the United States asked

118
00:09:24,039 --> 00:09:28,399
for Matt. It was because he was such a difficult prisoner.

119
00:09:29,039 --> 00:09:34,200
That the Mexican government was extraditing a drug kingpin to

120
00:09:34,279 --> 00:09:37,480
the United States who had some charges, and they kind

121
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:42,320
of threw Rick Matt on that same plane because he

122
00:09:42,399 --> 00:09:47,080
had been such a difficult prisoner to control. That tells

123
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:51,200
you how bad this guy is. The Mexican prisons didn't

124
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,440
want him. So he shows up in the United States

125
00:09:54,519 --> 00:09:58,600
and US authorities they hold that trial, and during that

126
00:09:58,759 --> 00:10:02,960
trial for the ricor murder, authority suspected he was hatching

127
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,840
a plan to escape from the Niagara County jail where

128
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,240
he was being held. He had at this point a

129
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:14,679
major escape reputation, so in order to avoid this, they

130
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,440
started making him where a stun belt and snipers were

131
00:10:18,519 --> 00:10:23,120
actually posted outside the courtroom at all times to prevent

132
00:10:24,279 --> 00:10:27,480
an escape should he try to do so. A former

133
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,600
police officer actually said of Matt during that time that

134
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,639
he has quote the most vicious, evil person I've ever

135
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,799
come across in my thirty eight years as a police officer.

136
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,559
So he gets convicted, as I told you, and it's

137
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,360
off to Clinton Correctional Center for Rick Matt. Now he's

138
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,320
one of the two escapees that you're going to learn

139
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,960
about today. The other one was a guy by the

140
00:10:52,039 --> 00:10:55,799
name of David Sweat. And David Sweat was born in

141
00:10:55,919 --> 00:10:58,919
nineteen eighty and raised in New York by a single

142
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,320
mother named Pamela, and he also had two sisters. And

143
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,679
Sweat had a troubled childhood. As a matter of fact,

144
00:11:05,759 --> 00:11:08,519
he was so bad that by the time he was

145
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,000
a teenager, his mother sent him to Florida to be

146
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,679
raised by his uncle. However, he couldn't even act right

147
00:11:15,919 --> 00:11:21,320
then and stole and wrecked his aunt's car, which gave

148
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,360
him a one way ticket into teenage foster care. Now,

149
00:11:25,399 --> 00:11:28,279
by the time he was in his late teens, Sweat

150
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:32,480
was homeless and he began selling drugs, and much like

151
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,679
Rick Matt, he was in and out of prison often

152
00:11:36,159 --> 00:11:38,799
in the nineties, and it was two thousand and two

153
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,759
that he would make a mistake that would land him

154
00:11:42,039 --> 00:11:45,000
in prison for the rest of his life. In the

155
00:11:45,159 --> 00:11:49,080
early morning hours of July fourth of two thousand and two,

156
00:11:49,279 --> 00:11:55,000
Sweat and two accomplices burglarized a fireworks store in Pennsylvania,

157
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,759
and upon returning to New York, they were spotted by

158
00:11:58,799 --> 00:12:03,080
a sheriff's deputy who had noticed them transporting fireworks from

159
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,639
one car to another, and he attempted to intervene and

160
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:11,559
see what was going on. Immediately, upon seeing that sheriff's deputy,

161
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:18,639
Sweat opened fire, shooting the officer fifteen times before running

162
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:23,879
over him with a car. Now, this officer, miraculously at

163
00:12:23,919 --> 00:12:27,279
this point was still alive, and one of the accomplices

164
00:12:27,519 --> 00:12:30,279
with Matt shoots him two more times in the face,

165
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,759
killing him. A few days later, the three men involved

166
00:12:34,759 --> 00:12:38,879
were arrested. So during the trial, Sweat in one of

167
00:12:38,879 --> 00:12:42,600
the accomplices, they plead guilty to first degree murder and

168
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,480
they receive life without barral, and they did this to

169
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:51,240
avoid the death penalty. The third accomplice he cooperated with authorities.

170
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,039
He cut some kind of deal and he was only

171
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,840
sentenced to five years in prison for his role in

172
00:12:57,919 --> 00:13:01,679
that murder. And it's off to the Clinton Correctional Facility

173
00:13:02,039 --> 00:13:04,759
for Sweat to serve the rest of his life. And

174
00:13:04,879 --> 00:13:07,279
let me tell you a little bit about Clinton Correctional

175
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,039
It was built in eighteen forty five. It occupies just

176
00:13:11,159 --> 00:13:14,159
over one square mile in New York and it has

177
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,600
a white perimeter wall that scans the entire length and

178
00:13:18,799 --> 00:13:22,000
width of the prison, and that wall is topped with

179
00:13:22,159 --> 00:13:26,519
a ton of guard towers. The facility is actually named

180
00:13:26,639 --> 00:13:32,799
Little Siberia because it stays cold below freezing actually one

181
00:13:32,879 --> 00:13:36,960
hundred and fifty five days per year on average. The

182
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,679
prison also houses mostly inmates that have been convicted of

183
00:13:40,879 --> 00:13:45,759
very serious violent felonies. That makes up about ninety percent

184
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,279
of the three thousand inmates, and Clinton Correctional has about

185
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,720
one thousand guards, so a guard for every three inmates,

186
00:13:53,759 --> 00:13:57,840
which isn't too bad in the prison world. So with

187
00:13:58,039 --> 00:14:04,960
what is seemingly aca cure prison by all accounts, how

188
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:09,519
do two lifers not only manage to escape but also

189
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:14,759
manage to escape with assistance? Let's get into it. So

190
00:14:14,879 --> 00:14:18,840
in April of twenty fifteen, Rick Matt and Joyce Mitchell

191
00:14:18,919 --> 00:14:24,440
were alone together in the tailor shop and Rick Matt

192
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:29,480
grabs Joyce and kisses her for the first time. Now,

193
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,879
Mitchell says, quote, it startled me. He kissed me with

194
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,559
an open mouth. I didn't say anything because I was

195
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:41,399
scared for my husband, who also works at the facility. Unquote.

196
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,159
In May of twenty fifteen, Rick Matt asked Mitchell to

197
00:14:45,279 --> 00:14:48,679
perform oral sex on him. And she did so, in

198
00:14:48,759 --> 00:14:52,919
her words, out of fear. On two or three other occasions,

199
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,840
Rick Matt would come to her desk wearing a large

200
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,399
coat in which he had cut a hole in it

201
00:14:59,519 --> 00:15:03,840
so that Mitchell could fondle him. Now, it was during

202
00:15:03,919 --> 00:15:09,080
this time she was also having a sexual relationship with Sweat,

203
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,639
and Mitchell said she took photos of her breast and

204
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:17,519
her genitals and gave them to both Rick Matt and Sweat.

205
00:15:17,559 --> 00:15:21,159
This goes on for a while, and she's in a

206
00:15:21,279 --> 00:15:24,360
love triangle with these two guys, right, and she's got

207
00:15:24,399 --> 00:15:28,759
some serious high bristophilia going on by this point. And

208
00:15:28,799 --> 00:15:34,559
in June of twenty fifteen, actually June fifth, Matt approaches

209
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,960
Mitchell and he tells her they plan to escape that night.

210
00:15:39,639 --> 00:15:43,000
So what I didn't tell you about was in between

211
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:47,279
these few moss that they were having this affair, the

212
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:52,120
three of them, they were hatching an escape plan. Of course,

213
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:57,000
she's getting totally manipulated, right. These guys ain't interested in her,

214
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,960
They're just wanting to get the hell out of prison. Look,

215
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,759
one of them dismembered somebody. I mean, she knows how

216
00:16:03,799 --> 00:16:07,399
to pick them. Now, keep in mind, her husband still

217
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,000
works at the prison with her. So she's trying to

218
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,639
be slick. But people noticed. They always do, and this

219
00:16:14,799 --> 00:16:19,279
situation was no different. Of course, prisoners talk and they notice,

220
00:16:19,279 --> 00:16:22,200
and they're very nosy, and they would ask swet and

221
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,759
they would ask mad about it. They wouldn't admit to it,

222
00:16:25,799 --> 00:16:30,279
but the prisoners and even the staff knew something wasn't right.

223
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:37,039
So on June sixth, twenty fifteen, two inmates, Richard Matt

224
00:16:37,159 --> 00:16:41,000
and David Sweat, they escaped from the Clinton Correctional Facility.

225
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:46,200
Now they were discovered missing during a five seventeen am bedcheck.

226
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:50,240
The two inmates have been seen at the ten thirty

227
00:16:50,279 --> 00:16:54,480
pm count the night before and they filled their bed

228
00:16:54,759 --> 00:16:57,840
with clothes to make it appear as if someone was

229
00:16:57,879 --> 00:17:01,639
sleeping in the bed and the guards would make their

230
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:06,000
overnight rounds. So how did they escape, Well, the two

231
00:17:06,079 --> 00:17:10,400
prisoners cut a hole in their cell walls which gained

232
00:17:10,519 --> 00:17:15,680
access to the utility areas behind and above their cells.

233
00:17:16,279 --> 00:17:19,359
Eventually they cut holes in a steam pipe and they

234
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,000
use that steam pipe to escape the prison by shimming

235
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:28,000
down six floors of those pipes. Picture them just sliding

236
00:17:28,079 --> 00:17:32,240
down these pipes from one catwalk to another catwalk, all

237
00:17:32,279 --> 00:17:35,200
the way down to the ground level. There they were

238
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,759
able to find a main steam pipe and they followed

239
00:17:38,839 --> 00:17:42,920
that through some subterranean tunnels. In New York, there's a

240
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,680
lot of things underground, and they had a lot of

241
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:50,319
tunnels under that prison, and so they start following it.

242
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,279
They have no idea where it leads. They're hoping it

243
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,960
leads to the outside of those walls, right, And at

244
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,960
one point they reach a wall and they were able

245
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:03,839
to pass through after knocking out a few bricks. Now,

246
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,599
the next wall they hit was a massive prison wall,

247
00:18:08,039 --> 00:18:10,759
which they couldn't knock the bricks out of that thing,

248
00:18:11,039 --> 00:18:15,519
so they tried to drill through it. They couldn't do that,

249
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,920
so they moved on to a plan beat. Now, in

250
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,359
the summer, the steam pipes weren't used, and they knew that,

251
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,480
so they cut one opening into a twenty four inch

252
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:32,160
diameter steel pipe at the base of the wall. Then

253
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:36,200
they cut another opening from inside the pipe on the

254
00:18:36,279 --> 00:18:40,519
other side of the wall. And get this, they actually

255
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:45,799
left a yellow sticky note with a Asian smiley face

256
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,000
on it wearing a triangle hat, and it said have

257
00:18:49,079 --> 00:18:53,640
a nice day, and they stuck that to the pipe.

258
00:18:54,079 --> 00:18:57,400
So once they got beyond that wall. They followed the

259
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,319
pipe through the public sewer system until they found a

260
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:05,240
man hole that was well beyond the prison. The man

261
00:19:05,279 --> 00:19:09,519
hole was locked and chained from the inside. So Sweat

262
00:19:09,559 --> 00:19:12,319
and Matt used some tools they had stashed in a

263
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,279
guitar case that they brought with them to get past

264
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,480
the barrier, and they cut those chains, pushed the man

265
00:19:19,519 --> 00:19:23,720
hole aside, and it's just like on Shawshank right. Freedom

266
00:19:24,079 --> 00:19:24,759
for these two.

267
00:19:25,599 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: Now.

268
00:19:25,759 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 2: It was not clear how long the escape had been planned,

269
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,200
but officials at this time said it appeared to have

270
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,599
taken a lot of labor to power the tools that

271
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:41,079
actually hot wired the electrical junction boxes that were in

272
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:45,359
that tunnel, and then strong extension cord. It's just crazy

273
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,880
they were able to get all this equipment down there,

274
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:53,640
but they were. Governor Andrew Quomo declared Matt in Sweat quote,

275
00:19:53,839 --> 00:19:56,759
definitely had help. I don't believe they could have acquired

276
00:19:56,799 --> 00:20:00,519
the equipment to do this without the help. If alreadyes

277
00:20:00,599 --> 00:20:05,240
believe Matt used his con man ways to convince some

278
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,640
civilian to help him escape, and they already thought that

279
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:14,880
that civilian maybe Joyce Mitchell. So the prison goes on lockdown,

280
00:20:15,039 --> 00:20:17,640
and of course one of the first things that occurs

281
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:22,400
is employee interviews and one of the first people that

282
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,359
they interview is Joyce Mitchell. Now, at the time they

283
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,680
were interviewing Mitchell, they were also going through her trash

284
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,599
at her house, and the neighbors saw this and they

285
00:20:32,599 --> 00:20:34,720
all knew something was up, and a lot of them

286
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,279
were featured on the news at that time. And it

287
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,119
was also interesting that police found out when they interviewed

288
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,240
her that the same day of the escape, she checked

289
00:20:44,279 --> 00:20:48,279
herself into the hospital and when they looked at the records,

290
00:20:48,319 --> 00:20:52,119
it was for a quote case of nerves. I bet

291
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,720
she was nervous. So they talked to her and initially

292
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,440
it's just a scare tactic. They're trying to figure out

293
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,920
if they can get to confess to anything. That initial

294
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:06,920
conversation didn't go anywhere. On day two, nothing really happens

295
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,400
day two of the escape. Then on day three, June

296
00:21:10,519 --> 00:21:16,200
eighth of twenty fifteen, Matt's daughter receives a letter in

297
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,359
the mail from her father saying that he had quote

298
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:23,039
always promised you I would see you from the outside.

299
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,440
I'm a man of my word unquote, And later on

300
00:21:26,519 --> 00:21:30,599
police would find out that months before, Joyce Mitchell contacted

301
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,759
Matt's daughter at his urging, and even a couple times

302
00:21:33,799 --> 00:21:37,079
after that she would contact her via text just to

303
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,799
update her on her father's medical condition. So on June

304
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,319
ninth and tenth, which would be day's four and five

305
00:21:45,519 --> 00:21:49,680
of that escape, authority search the farms and fields around

306
00:21:49,759 --> 00:21:53,079
New York after receiving a tip that Matt and Sweat

307
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:58,799
may have been spotted there. Around two am, police get

308
00:21:58,839 --> 00:22:01,119
a report from a man who said he saw the

309
00:22:01,319 --> 00:22:05,960
escapees walking on a highway road and then officer said, quote,

310
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,079
a resident was driving down the road. He sees two

311
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,960
suspicious residents walking up the road. The second is car

312
00:22:14,079 --> 00:22:18,079
lights hit them. They ran off into the woods. Atf

313
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:23,000
even the Canadian Royal Minor police were called in that

314
00:22:23,279 --> 00:22:27,359
obviously New York being close to the border of Canada,

315
00:22:28,079 --> 00:22:30,240
they wanted to alert them. You may have a couple

316
00:22:30,319 --> 00:22:35,160
of inmates crossing the border. And the Governor of New

317
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:39,079
York comes out with a fifty thousand dollars bounty for

318
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:43,759
each inmate. If you give us information as to their capture,

319
00:22:43,839 --> 00:22:47,599
you get fifty thousand dollars. They then increased that to

320
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,480
seventy five thousand dollars when the US Marshals said, hey,

321
00:22:51,559 --> 00:22:55,319
we'll kick in another twenty five grand per inmate. Then

322
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:59,079
on June eleventh of twenty fifteen, this is day six

323
00:22:59,759 --> 00:23:06,119
photo of Matt surface wearing a correctional officer's uniform shirt

324
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,920
and holding a nightstick. Matt had written on the bottom

325
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:15,000
of the picture quote who said, I can't escape this place.

326
00:23:16,039 --> 00:23:20,839
Unbelievable Now. The picture itself was taken in nineteen eighty

327
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:26,240
six when Matt was imprisoned at Elmira Correctional Facility, and

328
00:23:26,319 --> 00:23:30,640
Matt mailed the picture to a retired detective David Bentley,

329
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,000
who knew Matt as a kid. And although the picture

330
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,799
was taken in nineteen eighty six, it was mailed after

331
00:23:37,839 --> 00:23:41,400
they escaped this New York prison to that detective. Pretty

332
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:46,480
fucked up, shows you this guy's mine process, right, Matt

333
00:23:46,599 --> 00:23:49,759
wrote to Bentley and said, I know what you did

334
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:54,279
and I'm not gonna forget it. So Bentley was the

335
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,519
lead detective who got Matt convicted in two thousand and

336
00:23:57,559 --> 00:24:01,559
eight for killing and dismembering that former boss of his,

337
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,519
and so he's threatening him. Right, I'm out now, I've

338
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,880
escaped and I'm coming for you, And it wasn't uncommon

339
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,160
for Matt to send Bentley letters. In two thousand, he

340
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,680
sent him a letter fifteen years before the escape when

341
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,279
he predicted he would one day get the death penalty,

342
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,200
and he wrote, I'm not scared to die anymore. I'm

343
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,880
the most going to welcome death. So pretty bold stuff.

344
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,640
Here and everywhere around this prison was on lockdown. There

345
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:36,200
were no schools going on, the highways were closed until

346
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:40,119
they caught these guys. They didn't feel comfortable with anyone

347
00:24:40,279 --> 00:24:44,400
being anywhere outside of their home, and rightfully so, very

348
00:24:44,519 --> 00:24:49,000
dangerous individuals on the run here. So on the seventh

349
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:53,920
day of the search, still no confirmed sightings of the escapees.

350
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:58,039
It's like they disappeared into thin air. This whole time.

351
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,799
They've been gathering evidence against it's Joyce Mitchell since that

352
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:07,200
first discussion. And later that day Joyce Mitchell gets arrested

353
00:25:07,319 --> 00:25:12,200
and she's charged with aiding the escapees. Police had discovered

354
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:17,839
she'd allegedly supplied Matt in sweat with hacks, all blades, chisels,

355
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:23,440
two pairs of special lighted glasses, and screwdriver bits more

356
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:27,279
than a month before the escape. And she gets held

357
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:32,200
on ae hundred thousand dollars bond. June thirteenth of twenty fifteen,

358
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:37,000
on day eight, two men fitting matt in sweats descriptions

359
00:25:37,039 --> 00:25:40,519
were seen walking near rail yard. And look, they've got

360
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,920
all the search vehicles out there, helicopters, all terrain vehicles,

361
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,119
search dogs. They can't find these guys. They've only had

362
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,519
a couple of sightings. And also during this time, they're

363
00:25:51,519 --> 00:25:54,880
applying more and more pressure to Joyce Mitchell to get

364
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:59,119
her to confess. And on June sixteenth of twenty fifteen,

365
00:25:59,279 --> 00:26:03,839
the eleventh day of the search, Joyce Mitchell confesses to

366
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:09,680
her involvement with the prisoners that escaped that prison. She

367
00:26:09,839 --> 00:26:13,440
confirmed she supplied him with hacks, all blades, chisels, and

368
00:26:13,519 --> 00:26:17,839
other tools. And according to the district attorney whoever saw

369
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:22,200
the prosecution of Mitchell, he said that she had agreed

370
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,319
to be the getaway driver, but backed out because she

371
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:30,119
still loved her husband and felt guilty about participating. He

372
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,920
went on to say, basically, when it was go time,

373
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,799
it was the actual day of the event, I think

374
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,759
she got cold feet and realized what am I doing?

375
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:43,480
Reality struck She realized that really the grass wasn't greener

376
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,680
on the other side, and it was revealed that Mitchell

377
00:26:47,839 --> 00:26:53,480
had discussed having her husband Lyle killed in a potential

378
00:26:53,559 --> 00:26:58,559
murder for hire deal with Matt. According to Joyce Mitchell's confession,

379
00:26:58,839 --> 00:27:03,440
Matt referred to her husband Lyle as the quote glitch

380
00:27:04,079 --> 00:27:08,119
in his plan and planning to kill him after the escape.

381
00:27:08,519 --> 00:27:11,680
The DA also went on to say Joyce Mitchell tells

382
00:27:11,799 --> 00:27:15,160
us there was a discussion between her and Matt that

383
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,279
upon the escape, they were going to return back to

384
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,599
Joyce Mitchell's home, at which time Matt and Sweat were

385
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,559
gonna kill her husband. And police asked her, you know,

386
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,759
why did you get tied in with these guys? You

387
00:27:28,799 --> 00:27:32,039
got a guy that dismembered somebody, you got another guy

388
00:27:32,079 --> 00:27:34,920
that killed a police officer. Why did you get what's

389
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,680
the attraction here? And she just said they showered her

390
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,960
with attention, and she didn't get attention at home and

391
00:27:41,039 --> 00:27:43,599
all those sorts of things, and just kind of fell

392
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,640
in love and short order with both of them. So

393
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,960
on the thirteenth day of this man hunt, Matt and

394
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:55,359
Sweat they get added to the US Marshall Services fifteen

395
00:27:55,599 --> 00:27:59,720
most Wanted Fugitives. Lest A twenty five thousand dollars reward

396
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,599
gets added to that big reward for information to capture them.

397
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,960
A few days later, on the fifteenth day of the search,

398
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:12,000
the police get a great tip when someone calls in

399
00:28:12,039 --> 00:28:14,880
and says two men were spotted in a New York

400
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,440
county who fit the description of Matt and Sweat. Police

401
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,000
said the witness spotted the men along a railroad line

402
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:27,160
that runs along a highway, and so they get canines,

403
00:28:27,519 --> 00:28:31,640
they get aviation out there. They start searching, and they

404
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,640
come across an old cabin in the woods, and they

405
00:28:35,759 --> 00:28:39,839
scrubbed that sucker down for DNA, and sure enough, they

406
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:43,519
get a match. And they move into the seventeenth day

407
00:28:43,519 --> 00:28:46,559
of the escape. And while all this is going on,

408
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,519
they're still looking for these guys. Of course, they're trying

409
00:28:49,559 --> 00:28:52,759
to figure out not only how they escape, but how

410
00:28:52,759 --> 00:28:57,839
could that happen in general? Where was the security fallout

411
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,519
that allowed these men to escape. They found out the

412
00:29:01,559 --> 00:29:05,559
investigators that no one was inside the thirty five foot

413
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,039
high guard towers when the two men climbed out of

414
00:29:09,079 --> 00:29:12,160
a manhole right outside of that prison, or they would

415
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,839
have seen them. They found out that catwalks and the

416
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:20,400
underground tunnels had not been inspected in forever before these

417
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,640
men escaped, or they might have caught the fact that

418
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,799
those bricks were chipping and falling apart and easy to

419
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:30,119
knock out of the wall. In nineteen days into this ordeal,

420
00:29:30,599 --> 00:29:34,680
someone named Jeane Palmer surfaces. He was also a correction

421
00:29:34,839 --> 00:29:39,000
officer and he was charged with supplying tools hidden in

422
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:44,319
frozen meat to Matt in Sweat before the escape. Palmer

423
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,799
also was the one to show them where the catwalk

424
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,160
areas were behind their cells. And he had worked for

425
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,200
the prison for more than twenty seven years and he

426
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:58,319
had known Matt and Sweat for about five of those years.

427
00:29:58,599 --> 00:30:01,000
And not only did this guy do all that, he

428
00:30:01,119 --> 00:30:06,480
showed them how to wire the electrical boxes, but he

429
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:10,039
claimed that it was to cook food in their cells,

430
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,480
not to escape. So police followed up on that lead,

431
00:30:13,759 --> 00:30:17,200
and they approached Mitchell when they say, is what we're

432
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,599
thinking true with this guy aiding into bedding, And she

433
00:30:21,039 --> 00:30:24,480
confirmed that and not only was that true, she was

434
00:30:24,559 --> 00:30:28,519
the one that actually delivered that frozen meat with the hacks,

435
00:30:28,559 --> 00:30:32,559
all blades and all that to Sweat and Matt. So

436
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,720
after twenty one days on the run, police get another lead,

437
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,920
but not in the way you would expect. Someone actually

438
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:44,079
calls and says that he was shot at while he

439
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:50,000
was towing his camper trailer. Police respawn and they find

440
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:54,839
a bullet hole from a twenty gauge shotgun in this

441
00:30:55,039 --> 00:30:58,880
camper trailer. They're able to trace that back to a

442
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,680
twenty gage shotgun that was stolen from that hunting camp

443
00:31:03,319 --> 00:31:07,160
that Matt was hiding out in. So they start searching

444
00:31:07,599 --> 00:31:11,319
around the area and lo and behold, they hear some

445
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:16,359
coughing and they could see some brush moving in some woods.

446
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:21,640
So police go to investigate this coughing and they come

447
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:28,799
across Richard Matt, who was armed with that twenty gage shotgun.

448
00:31:29,599 --> 00:31:34,160
They raised their guns, drop the weapon. He wouldn't do it.

449
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:38,759
He points the weapon at police and they shoot and

450
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:45,119
kill Richard Matt. And what about Sweat. Well, two days

451
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:49,839
after Richard Matt was killed, a New York State trooper

452
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:54,319
named Jay Cook, he's traveling down the highway and he

453
00:31:54,440 --> 00:32:00,799
passes an individual walking and that was David's. Sweat circles

454
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,799
back and he's pretty sure that's him, but he's definitely

455
00:32:03,839 --> 00:32:06,839
gonna question him, make sure it's him, And of course

456
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,920
Sweat sees the officer circle back and he takes off.

457
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:15,640
He starts running across the hayfield toward a tree line. Now,

458
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:22,799
this state trooper, much to David Sweat's chagrin, is a

459
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:29,000
expert firearms instructor, so he gives chase, and when it

460
00:32:29,039 --> 00:32:34,960
became evident that Sweat might escape, he fires two rounds

461
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:40,960
from his forty five caliber block and hits Sweat twice

462
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,839
in the right shoulder and the left arm, and he

463
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,200
was about seventy three yards away. That's one hell of

464
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,960
a shot with a pistol. So Sweat falls to the

465
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:55,599
ground and he's taken under a rest and he had

466
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:59,920
on him a map, he had insect repellent, pop tarts

467
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,160
of all things, and a few other items, some matches,

468
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,599
et cetera. But he didn't have any weapons on him

469
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,240
at the time. So he gets transported to the hospital

470
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,920
for those gunshot wounds, and it's all over the news

471
00:33:14,079 --> 00:33:18,039
that one was killed and the other one was captured.

472
00:33:18,519 --> 00:33:22,079
And police, now that one of them is captured alive,

473
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,880
they're able to get a detailed kind of plan. He

474
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,559
said that the original plan was for Mitchell to pick

475
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,079
them up and they were gonna go kill her husband

476
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:37,680
and then drive to Mexico, but Joyce Mitchell backed out

477
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,799
at the last minute, so when she failed to pick

478
00:33:40,839 --> 00:33:43,000
them up, they didn't have a plan Beast, so they

479
00:33:43,079 --> 00:33:46,559
just started heading north on foot. They knew Canada was

480
00:33:46,799 --> 00:33:50,480
north and they knew that's where they wanted to get to. Now.

481
00:33:50,559 --> 00:33:55,119
Sweet said that he and Matt had split up about

482
00:33:55,279 --> 00:34:00,559
five days prior to Matt getting killed. He said that

483
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:04,519
Matt had blisters all over his feet, and Sweat felt

484
00:34:04,559 --> 00:34:08,440
like Matt was slowing him down, so he just basically said,

485
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,760
I'm leaving. I'm gone. So we're going to fast forward

486
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,719
to July twenty eighth of twenty fifteen, and Mitchell appears

487
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:19,400
in court pleads guilty to what's not his first degree

488
00:34:19,519 --> 00:34:25,239
promoting prison contraband and fourth degree criminal facilitation, and she's

489
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,960
got to await sentencing, and that occurred. That was on

490
00:34:29,199 --> 00:34:32,559
September twenty eighth of twenty fifteen, and she was sentenced

491
00:34:32,559 --> 00:34:35,280
to two and a half to seven years in prison

492
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:39,440
and a six thousand dollars fine, which when you help

493
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:44,719
two lifers arrested for murder escape, I think that's way

494
00:34:45,199 --> 00:34:49,400
too light of a sentence. Sweat also eventually pleaded guilty

495
00:34:49,599 --> 00:34:51,840
and he really had nothing to lose. He was already

496
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,199
in jail for life. So time went on. In February

497
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:59,960
of twenty seventeen, Joyce Mitchell gets denied her first big

498
00:35:00,519 --> 00:35:04,440
for early release. And look at this time, TV shows

499
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:09,599
are everywhere, you know, forty eight hours twenty twenty, there's

500
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:14,599
all there. Even an episode of Law and Order covered

501
00:35:14,639 --> 00:35:19,920
this case. In twenty seventeen, a Lifetime movie came out

502
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,960
called New York Prison Break The Seduction of Joyce Mitchell.

503
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:28,440
Too much fanfare, And I mentioned Gene Palmer earlier and

504
00:35:28,519 --> 00:35:31,199
he ended up only getting six months in jail for

505
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:37,440
his role in that escape. And on February six of

506
00:35:37,639 --> 00:35:42,519
twenty twenty, after serving a little over four years in prison,

507
00:35:44,519 --> 00:35:50,880
Joyce Mitchell gets released. And she has been released for

508
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:55,760
the last five years. And another movie has Showtime mini

509
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,280
series actually came out just a couple of years prior

510
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,760
to her release. It was called Escape at Dana Mora,

511
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,400
which is the county where all this took place. And

512
00:36:06,519 --> 00:36:14,679
Patricia Arquette actually played the role of Joyce Mitchell. And

513
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,079
