New York Prison Worker Is Arrested on Charges She Helped 2 Killers Escape
A female prison worker who befriended the two killers who escaped from a maximum-security prison in upstate New York was arrested Friday and accused of providing them with “material assistance,” the authorities said.
The worker, Joyce Mitchell, 51, of Dickinson Center, N.Y., was charged with promoting prison contraband in the first degree and criminal facilitation in the fourth degree, both felonies.
Her arrest came days after law enforcement officials said that she had been cooperating with them and offering information that could be helpful in the manhunt for the escapees.
