Ten Years Later: Inside the 2015 Clinton Correctional Facility Escape

Special Event Hosted by New York State Inspector General Lucy Lang

Join the New York State Inspector General’s Office for a special panel event marking the 10th anniversary of the 2015 Clinton Correctional Facility escape—one of the most dramatic prison breaks in recent US history.

Ten Years Later: Inside the 2015 Clinton Correctional Facility Escape will feature key experts who led the State’s response, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the three-week manhunt, the sweeping investigation, and its lasting impact on correctional reform.

The Inspector General’s 150-page report—praised for its detail and credited with driving major reforms—inspired Showtime’s Escape at Dannemora and remains the most comprehensive account of the escape. It drew from thousands of investigative hours, in-depth cell examinations, and over 175 interviews, including with surviving escapee David Sweat and prison employee Joyce Mitchell.
