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.
My high school was not far from there. Many of my friends and relatives became prison guards for NYS (I had a offer, but turned it down for safer work). CCS was run by the guards, and they took pride in that. Still have to feel there was some inside help, as CCS is no rinky-dink prison. They had better be out of the country too. If they decide to bushwack it and the locals catch them, they may never be found. Too many rednecks who know how to S, S, and S....
