It is sad to contemplate the life of Joyce "Tillie" Mitchell, an employee in a New York prison in Dannemora, who assisted in the escape of two convicted murderers.
First, it was nearly inconceivable how Tillie would become smitten with not one, but two murderers. Her fantasy was to escape with the pair and enjoy paradise in Mexico as a ménage-à-trois!
Second, the slack and incompetent prison authorities should have recognized that Tillie was spending inordinate amounts of time with Matt and Sweat in apparently private spaces in the prison. At one time, she was questioned about her suspicious conduct. She should have been fired on the spot.
Third, after getting cold feet and failing to show up with the escape vehicle, Tillie had the audacity to lie the authorities. She contradicted herself in claiming that she was coerced into aiding the escapees when they threatened to kill her husband while at the same time saying they would kill him anyway after the escape.
At the time of this writing, Tillie has now been released from prison. She now has the time to reflect on assisting two desperate psychopaths who were out the loose for a three-week period, endangering the lives of honest citizens.
Disgraceful!
