Lifting up the Rug at Clinton Correctional Facility
I'm glad the FBI is involved in the investigation and it's not being conducted solely by state or prison officials who hold some degree of responsibility for the prison management at Clinton Correctional.
Prisoner fraternization, violation of key security policies, possible heroin ring... There's probably more, IMO.
Officials say 12 more staffers at the prison have been put on administrative leave - including the prison's superintendent and his deputy in charge of security.
An official with knowledge of the move tells The Associated Press that Clinton Correctional Facility Superintendent Steven Racette and Deputy Superintendent Stephen Brown are among those on leave. The official wasn't authorized to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The Department of Corrections and Community Supervision says it's part of the ongoing review of the June 6 escape by convicted murderers Richard Matt and David Sweat. The department didn't identify the suspended staff. Assistant Commissioner James O'Gorman will oversee the facility temporarily.
