    The Dannemora Prison Break

    On June 6, 2015, two maximum-security inmates, Richard Matt and David Sweat, pulled off one of the most audacious prison breaks in U.S. history from Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, New York. Using smuggled tools, they cut through walls, squeezed through a massive pipe, and vanished—sparking a three-week manhunt that gripped the nation. The escape, as elaborate as any Hollywood thriller, ended with Matt killed by police and Sweat captured. A chilling reminder of how far some will go to escape—and how far authorities will go to bring them back. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
