Matt and Sweat had planned for Tilly to be their getaway driver in Escape at Dannemora.

Just as Tilly’s unfaithfulness hadn’t changed, the foundational issue within the prison system hadn’t either.

Of course, it didn’t work out that way.
After being taken to the hospital, Sweat was interrogated by New York State Inspector General Catherine Leahy Scott.

Of course,Matt quickly became a problem once the duo escaped from Clinton Correctional.
