> I wonder if Joyce Mitchell will be charged in Matt’s death? She could have reported this escape plan to prison authorities and averted the escape. Even 20 to 30 minutes warning would have been enough time for guards to drag them out of their cells before they got away. Instead she has her husband take her to the hospital for a “panic attack”. One man dead, another wounded and easily a million bucks spent on the manhunt. All because she said nothing until after they escaped.

The number I saw was it was over 1 million per day. New York spent over $20 million to end this.
