Escaped prisoner David Sweat, now in an upstate New York
hospital, has revealed to investigators how he and fellow
escapee Richard Matt managed to elude authorities in their three
weeks on the run.

Here is what investigators say they have learned from Sweat so
far:

RADIO:

Sweat told authorities he and Matt listened to reports about the
manhunt on a radio, a state police source told ABC News.

MARIJUANA:

Sweat also said he and Matt had marijuana, the source said.

THE ESCAPE PLAN:

Sweat said he and Matt originally planned to flee to Mexico
before the two split up last week, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo
said in a radio interview Monday.

“The plan was to head to Mexico, which would have been aided by
Joyce Mitchell's vehicle," Cuomo told WCNY in Syracuse. "They
would get the car and then drive to Mexico.”

"When Mitchell doesn't show up, the Mexico plan gets foiled and
they head north to Canada," Cuomo said.

Two employees at the prison, Mitchell, a tailor shop employee,
and Gene Palmer, a corrections officer, have been charged in
connection with the escape.

Mitchell was charged in connection with allegedly providing
hacksaw blades and tools to the men through frozen hamburger
meat. She pleaded not guilty to the felony and misdemeanor
charges.

Sweat also told investigators Mitchell was the only other person
who knew about the plan and Palmer had no idea about the escape,
Clinton County District Attorney Andrew Wylie said.

Palmer, who denied knowing about the escape, was charged with
promoting prison contraband, tampering with physical evidence
and official misconduct for allegedly giving the inmates art
supplies and other contraband in exchange for paintings from
Matt and information about other inmates.

Palmer waived his right to a preliminary hearing Monday,
agreeing to move directly to a grand jury. No plea was entered.

THE SPLIT UP:

The governor said Sweat split up from Matt days before their
captures, because he felt like "Matt was slowing him down."

The governor highlighted how Sweat, 34, is younger than Matt, 48.

Investigators have been interviewing Sweat, who was serving a
life sentence after he was convicted of killing a sheriff's
deputy, to better understand how the men escaped June 6 from
Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, New York, and how
they were able to avoid police for so long.

Sweat is recovering at Albany Medical Center after he was
apprehended, shot and wounded Sunday in the area of Constable,
New York, about 1.5 miles south of the Canadian border.

His condition was listed as fair Tuesday.

New York State Police said Monday the shooting of Sweat by State
Police Sgt. Jay Cook is under review. Sweat was unarmed but
apparently fleeing in violation of Cook's order to stop.

Matt, meanwhile, was shot and killed Friday in Elephant's Head,
New York, about 16 miles south of where Sweat was found, police
said. Matt was serving 25 years to life in prison after he
kidnapped and beat a man to death in 1997.

Cuomo called the escape "an extraordinary situation in many
ways."

"If you were writing a movie plot, they would say this was
overdone," he said to reporters Sunday evening.

"Joyce Mitchell's vehicle" and not Joyce Mitchell? I wonder what
their plans were for her?

They were going to buy her car from her, you know, at market
pricing.

Really...?
Once out do you really think either one would ever have sex with
her again?
Yeah, they would kill her, but sex, I think they needed a dark
closet to even do it in the 1st place.

That statement pretty much confirmed what most people thought
they were going to do with her - shallow grave silence.

Women are unreliable in situations like this.

Best to not make them part of critical planning.

Indeed, better yet to fill her full of lies and disinformation,
for example, as getting ready to leave in twenty minutes tell
her...."the plan is off for six months"....etc. Then when she
spills her guts there won't be anything to work with.

The woman, Mitchell, was a complete idiot. They most likely
planned to take her car and kill her.

If she was cooperative, then no. Their faces would be known.
They could have used her to pump the gas, get food and rent out
motel rooms.
