About this listen
In June 2015 two vicious convicted murderers broke out of the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, in New York's "North Country," launching the most extensive manhunt in state history. Aided by prison employee Joyce Mitchell, double murderer Richard Matt and cop-killer David Sweat slipped out of their cells, followed a network of tunnels and pipes under the 30-foot prison wall, and climbed out of a manhole to freedom.
For three weeks, the residents of local communities were virtual prisoners in their own homes as law enforcement from across the nation swept the rural wilderness near the Canadian border. The manhunt made front-page headlines - as did the prison sex scandal involving both inmates and Joyce Mitchell - and culminated in a dramatic and bloody standoff.
Now Charles A. Gardner - a lifelong resident of the community and a former prison guard who began his training at Clinton and ultimately oversaw the training of staff in 12 prisons, including Clinton - tells the whole story from an insider's point of view.

Gritty True Story , brilliantly told ..
I remember the story when it was all of the media and the Tv drama with Paul Dano and Benicio Del Toro was fabulous too . However the book and the narration was excellent from start to finish and for someone like myself who is not from the US , the narrator puts you right in the heart of the rugged landscape of the escape terrain and the claustrophobic confines of the prison and brings the true story to the forefront.. Thoroughly enjoyed this and seriously recommend to everyone..

Great listen
Overall I loved it from start to finish. The sheer audacity of the prison break is worth listening to. Both horrible manipulative characters. Ricky Matt was a maniac. The narrator was great IMO. Mitchell and Palmer were just dumb.

Could have
been so much better. Long winded and pointless in parts. Just got to the point you stopped caring.

Narrator good but gosh.....this was long winded! I wasn't interested in the writers experience and feel this could have been a great thriller.
