Jailbreak: cherchez la femme
Why, what a surprise:
A female prison worker was interrogated Sunday as a possible accomplice in the Hollywood-style escape of two killers from an upstate penitentiary, sources told The Post.
“It’s an employee being questioned,’’ a high-level source said, adding that the worker, who is not a guard, had already been yanked from her post.
Sources said the worker may have been wooed by one of the escaped cons, Richard Matt, 48, an infamous lady killer.
“He has a way with the ladies,” the source said…
Authorities said Matt and David Sweat, 34, escaped late Friday or early Saturday, by using power tools from one of several construction sites at the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, 20 miles from the Canadian border.
This fits a certain pattern of recent jailbreaks, although at least in this case it wasn’t a guard alleged to have helped. Here’s an earlier incident of a female guard helping a prisoner escape, and here’s another one.
I wrote a lengthy piece two years ago about prison guards of the opposite sex ([particularly women in men’s prisons, since they are more common) and why the practice makes for some vulnerabilities. The inmates are often con artists as well as cons, and you know what con artists can do. In a previous case, a convict by the name of Murphy had quite a little racket going:
Documents detailing the state investigation into Murphy’s liaisons show he persuaded at least five Montana female prison employees to break the rules over several years. He even convinced his therapist to have sex with him, and was able to arrange one-on-one meetings with her even though prison officials knew of his past history with female workers”¦
Read the whole thing. You may find that the solution isn’t quite as simple as you might hope.
I blame “othering,” myself. It’s fun to imagine oneself and one’s little hugbox of friends as being the only smart people in a world of idiots, but the reality is that nobody is immune to a sufficiently clever lie, and people who think they are (as a necessary part of pretending the only people who fall for scams are stupid) only leave themselves blind to the lies they fall for, and defenseless in a world where con artists are taking over the apex predator niche.
This reminds me of some girl, I forget her name, who was in the Illinois Correctional System for killing her parents. She was drop-dead gorgeous and wherever they put her she ending up running the place. Lesbian guards didn’t help. She was that stunning.
“Richard Matt, 48, an infamous lady killer.”
An unfortunate turn of phrase after his conviction for the murder and dismemberment of a man.
“Surprise” has two “r”s. It’s a common mistake to spell it with only one, but each time I see it subtracts another minute from my life.
Spelling Bully,
Thanks, fixed! That’s an error I don’t think I’ve made since maybe, second grade.
Some women are just attracted to outlaws.
Even in prison, psychological manipulation is more powerful than the physical walls and chains shackling people.
It is the invisible chains people should be wary of, not the obvious controls.

In this case ruled by their ovaries or, is it plain sentimentalism?
It would be soooooooooo Sexist, Gender Unequalizing, Un-PC, and other Bulls*** for me to comment further. I’m all about sensitivity.
Hmmm…. Wait a minute. We all know men and women are the same and capable of doing the same job as their skill sets are the same. Their wants, needs and desires are all the same. Right?
Do Dah, Do Da, Oh Do Da Day!
A society ruled by hedonists, with no authority afforded to higher level beings like God, will easily Obey the Authority of killers and rapists in prison.
That is the natural end product of hedonism and individual weakness.
