Joyce Mitchell, who worked as a supervisor at the tailor shop of
Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, faces up to seven years in
prison after accepting a deal with prosecutors in which she admitted
smuggling hacksaw blades and a screwdriver bit to help Richard Matt and
David Sweat escape on June 6.
Sweat had been scheduled to appear in Plattsburgh City Court on Tuesday to face felony escape charges, but his case was pulled from the docket, Clinton County District Attorney Andrew Wylie said on Friday in an email, without elaborating.
Sweat, who was serving a life sentence without parole at Clinton Correctional, faces a $5,000 fine and up to seven years in prison on each of three felony charges.
Under the plea deal, Mitchell will not face any possible sexual assault or rape charges stemming from allegations that she had sexual relations with Matt or Sweat, Wylie said.
