Yes. Absolutely. It is maximum security.
The same architectural plans were used for the Clinton facility in Dannemora as were used for Attica.
Have you seen the wall around those prisons? Amazing they got out. It’s been a long time since there’s been an escape.
Just goes to show ya, anything can be compromised.
Apparently this is the first successful escape from this facility.
I worked in max secure mental health for 26 years. I can tell you that to engineer an escape from Clinton CF is no mean feat. It is a literal fortress. Power tools, tunnels, and eventually emerging outside the walls from a manhole. This took a long time to pull off. Intricate planning and execution and help. My guess is they had a ride waiting and could very well be out of the country by now. This is akin to busting out of Alcatraz. They are two bad dudes. I hope they get them soon. Folks will be locking their doors in the north country tonight.
