Search for escaped convicts from New York prison enters seventh day...


New York prison escapeNew York State Police used Facebook on Friday to broadcast a refined description of the convicted killers Richard Matt, 48, and David Sweat, 34, changing details about their height, weight and hair color, and plastering the site with photographs of their tattoos.
Joyce Mitchell, an industrial training supervisor in the tailor shop at Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, New York, was being questioned about her possible role in helping the prisoners escape, authorities said.
Clinton County District Attorney Andrew Wylie told CNN on Friday that Mitchell "provided some form of equipment or tools" to the men whose escape from the maximum security prison was discovered early Saturday.
Mitchell was previously investigated by the Inspector General's office of the state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision after a co-worker filed a complaint about her seemingly close relationship with Matt, the Albany Times Union reported, citing two unnamed people with knowledge of the case. No disciplinary action resulted from the investigation.
Other prison employees are being questioned about possibly helping in the elaborate escape, which involved cutting through steel walls, squeezing through a steam pipe and out of a manhole, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said on Thursday. Read more on Yahoo news.
