Abstract

The article reports on the escape of Richard Matt and David Sweat, two prisoners serving life sentences for murder, from the Clinton Correctional Facility state prison in Dannemora, New York. It says they used power tools to get out of their cells and then leave the prison through several pipes and tunnels, noting this was the first successful escape from the maximum-security part of the prison. It offers physical descriptions of the two men and outlines their crimes.
