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....
Yeah, We live in the Southern Tier, a virtual penal colony. CO class in inter-generational in some communities. If these guys are holed up somewhere, they will have to shows their faces sooner or later. To pull off an escape of this caliber requires a certain amount of sophistication. My guess would be Canada. They had to have had inside help, I am sorry to say it, either from the CO’s or info and tools provided by some outside construction contractor. Who the hell knows? It will make for a heck of a movie when they find out. It will take time , but, we’ll find out what happened.
