We just had to share with you the pictures of what appears to be an inside job on how two high-risk inmates vanished from their cells in the maximum security Clinton Corrections Facility in New York.

No prisoner had ever escaped from that section of this highly secure lock-up. How did they get free?

The convicts apparently knew how to navigate through the utility tunnels, cutting their way through at least one metal wall with power tools they somehow obtained. Soon they made their way into the facility’s non-secure areas.

According to ncpr:

The inmates eventually escaped the prison entirely by crawling out through a manhole cover located on the village of Dannemora’s main street. Their current location remains unknown with a massive manhunt now underway, shown below at left. “This is quite an unusual occurrence,” said Governor Andrew Cuomo. “It was an elaborate plot. It was elaborate, it was sophisticated, it encompassed drilling through steel walls and steel pipes.”

A massive manhunt by law enforcement is now underway along with an extensive investigation. I would like to see a picture of the look on the officers face when they discovered that smiley face note.
