said Sweat was
shot twice and coughing up blood

Sorry...but I'm thinking; if he'd been a 'BLACK
MAN' --- there'd zero need for the ambulance
ride to the hospital

New York Prison Break: Twelve Employees Placed on Leave After Escape

by Cassandra Vinograd and Tom Winter

A host of correctional officers and prison executives — including the superintendent — have been placed on leave from Clinton Correctional facility following the escape of two convicted murderers, authorities said Tuesday.

The New York State Department of Corrections said in a statement that three members of the upstate prison's executive team and nine security staff are on "administrative leave" as part of the ongoing review into the jailbreak. It did not offer further details.

Steven Racette, the prison superintendent, along with his deputy Stephen Browne, who oversees security, were two of the three executives suspended, a senior New York official with direct knowledge of the matter told NBC News.

Convicted murderers Richard Matt and David Sweat used power tools to escape from the maximum-security prison in Dannemora on June 6. The duo were on the lam for three weeks: Matt was shot and killed on Friday while Sweat was shot and wounded two days later. He is in custody at the Albany Medical Center, which on Tuesday upgraded his condition to "fair" from "serious."

Thank you for the update 2A.
I had wondered.

Do you think they should be fired? Demoted?

And do you think the prisoner will try to escape from the hospital?

Former FBI official: Mitchell would have been killed

But a former FBI assistant director cast doubt on the plan that Sweat described to investigators.

Chris Swecker said he doubts Sweat and Matt really intended to kill Mitchell's husband and then drive with her to Mexico.

"I don't think they'd take the time to go divert to her house just to kill her husband, and I'm not sure why they would want to do that. That just wastes time," Swecker told CNN's "New Day" on Tuesday.

And he said Mitchell's failure to pick up the escapees at the manhole likely saved her life.

"They would have had no use for her whatsoever," he said. "They used her, and they would have tossed her out right away. And then she would have been in a very shallow grave within hours."

Oh, the drug trafficking will be peeled away and there will be many 'SQUEALS' from other guards as to 'who knew what/when/where'; but it all filters straight up above IMHO

And here's what I thought would have been Mrs. Mitchells end to her 'aiding and abetting' had she really been there to drive them away>>>

She's a "MORON" and both Matt & Sweat could tell she'd be a liability once they were on the road --- foolish/gullible and utterly unsuited to be working around hard core prisoners IMHO

I don't think that Sweat is in any condition to attempt a 'escape' while in the hospital; but - BUT he'll be working on another plan once he's established somewhere else; the man has that gift and it gives him purpose while he lays around locked up!

Ohhhhhh, SassyEuro ....the **** is hitting the fan; after Sweat starts his purging of his soul while in the hospital bed!!!
WOWSERS - WOW - WOW - WOW shocked

2OLD2MESDSROUND,

WOW.. is right. This Tower (of corruption) is falling quicker than I expected. I REALLY did not expect SWEAT to be captured alive.
MATT.. maybe, because he killed for pleasure & probably would of soon, & be recaptured. But SWEAT, though sadistic, thinks he kills when he thinks he. has been wronged, like self preservation.

3 Administration & 8 Security/ Guards... Not enough. I hope SWEAT calls them all out.. There MUST be more & I'm sure a few policial surprises.

I enjoyed reading the last CNN link ^^^ there; it followed much of what I've been hearing on PBS radio!

Sweat had left Matt behind because he was slowing Sweat down...blisters on both of his feet/bloody socks and the age factor was just impeding Sweats ability to move faster! Read that link - it's so informative. Sweat was within 1� miles from easing over into Canada! THAT'S 2 DAM CLOSE! WHEW...if it hadn't been for those 2 slugs in the back - he'd been GONE!

Yea, that 1 1/2-2 mile distance is incredible! Sheriff Cook, took a big chance (imo, considering the way cops are viewed now), because Matt was next to the cabin, they said camouflaged ( now I read different), Cook had no sure way of knowing who he was or if he was armed at the moment. But Cook said he ran towards the tree line (where he would be lost again).
I'm SURE I would of fired two shoots also. * He was already found guilty & a previous list of escapes... so not likely to surrender or corporate.. more likely to kill again, then or later*

Certainly S2.
But it's utterly routine. It's the rule, not the exception; inaccuracies of early reports.

It was reported the escapees used power-tools.

Sweat says no, that they used only unpowered tools, and worked at it for months before they completed their escape.

It may help explain how an entire cell-block could be present, and not hear the goings on.

------------------

Initial reports of Sweat's being double-tapped made it seem like a risky ID.
Those reports didn't mention the Trooper actually speaking to the escapee before he fired.

PS
btw
Reports vary.
- Some say Sweat was shot in the back.
- Some say he was shot in the torso.
- Some say he got one in each shoulder.

On the latter;
- either Sweat very lucky, or
- the shooter impressively accurate.

Two consecutive non-lethal torso shots, at range, is not as easy as one might guess.
