NEW YORK -- (WPIX) -- Before he successfully pulled off one of the most daring prison escapes in New York State history, convicted cop killer David Sweat was able to work in the underground tunnels of the Clinton Correctional Facility for about 85 nights — with apparently no one noticing.

By late Friday, June 5, 2015, Sweat was ready to break out of Clinton with Matt, another convicted killer.
