I have said it many times that the movies we watched
sometimes create some sort of apprehension as to how these stunts work. This is
a replica of Scoffield’s Prison Break.
The U.S. Marshals Service issued federal arrest warrants
Sunday for two convicted killers who escaped from a maximum security prison in
upstate New York over the weekend.
The warrants charge Richard Matt and David Sweat with
unlawful flight to avoid prosecution, according to William O'Toole, a U.S.
Marshals Service spokesman. The warrants clear the way for the federal
government to involve its considerable resources in the manhunt.
Matt, 49, and Sweat, 35, who were both serving life
sentences for vicious murders, emerged through a manhole cover 200 metres from
the prison walls and made off into the night. The pair was discovered missing
from their cells Saturday morning during a "standing count" of
inmates at the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, New York, state
police said.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced a $100,000 reward for
information leading to the pair's capture.
Maj. Charles Guess of the New York State Police said Sunday.
"We're leaving no stone unturned, all available assets
are being brought to bear."
