Joyce Mitchell now a former employee of a high security prison in upstate New York aided in the escape of Richard Matt and David Sweat. She provided the convicted killers with hacksaws and lighted eyeglasses that allowed them to escape. She now faces a minimum of 2 years and 4 months in jail for this crime, although she did plea guilty, saying that it is the worst thing she has done in her life and she regrets it deeply. Later the 2 murderers were found, one was shot and killed, the next was found 2 days later and returned to prison.
I just cant believe that anyone in their right minds would help in the escape of 2 murderers, it is so wrong and I see no reason behind why she, or anyone would do that. It just shows that we as people are not always civilized and many times, irrational thinkers.
I agree who would help to murders out of prison. Let alone a employee who is suppose to secure the place to control who comes in and out. I feel she deserves more time for this situation. Also I feel after this situation there are going to enforce a more rigorous background check.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious to what her incentives are because there must be something there. It's not just like she left the door unlocked. She straight out provided a hacksaw for them. Was she trying to get back at her boss? Did she not believe that they committed the crime? What did they promise her in return? Honestly, you would have thought that she would have thought this life changing event out more. This is possibly the highest form of trust breaching possible. I wonder who would trust her enough to hire her after this?
ReplyDeleteI think Demi's point about future employment is extremely valid. Many jobs are against accepting former prisoners, meaning that her one undoubtedly large mistake is going to set her behind permanently.

Steve got held up on the fire road after a dude in front got in his way which wasn't great but all in all we had fun and will definitely be doing another one of Marsden's races, well done that man! Best escape rooms
