2 Murder Convicts Escape Prison, Leaves ‘Have A Nice Day Note’ In Cell





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."
