Meanwhile, Sweat and Matt were experiencing their own difficulties on the lam. Over the following three weeks, a massive manhunt ensued, costing the state of New York $23 million and leading local residents to arm themselves. New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo said at the time that the two were “ dangerous, dangerous men ,” and he noted that Matt had killed “at least two people” while Sweat had “killed a sheriff's deputy … in a savage, savage way.” Sweat and Matt's main accomplice, prison employee Joyce Mitchell, failed to show up at the rendezvous point with a car and supplies, and the two convicts had to flee for the Canadian border on foot. When David Sweat and Richard Matt broke out of the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, New York, in 2015, people immediatley drew comparison between their elaborate escape and the plot of "The Shawshank Redemption." Reports revealed that Sweat and Matt had manipulated two prison employees into smuggling in breakout tools in frozen hamburger meat, cut holes in the steel at the backs of their cells and created an escape through an 18-inch steam pipe.Īfter the inmates made it out of the prison, however, the plan began to fall apart.
