Law enforcement officers walk along Route 3 and Trudeau Road after emerging from the woods during a search for two escapees from Clinton Correctional Facility on Friday, June 12, 2015, near Dannemora, N.Y. Squads of law enforcement officers are searching for David Sweat and Richard Matt, two murderers who escaped from the maximum-security prison in northern New York.
Meanwhile, the female prison employee at the center of an investigation into the escape of two killers was arrested Thursday and charged with providing them assistance.
The New York State Police said Joyce Mitchell, 51, faced two felony charges related to helping Richard Matt and David Sweat escape from the Clinton Correctional Facility in upstate New York one week ago.
