NEW YORK — A convicted murderer whose prison break captivated the nation says he uncovered a way to escape from another maximum-security facility in New York. But this time David Sweat said he detailed the plan involving a makeshift tool to corrections officials, asking for extra weekly visits from his girlfriend in exchange. Sweat and another inmate, Richard Matt, escaped from New York’s Clinton Correctional Facility in 2015. In an interview with The New York Times , Sweat said he told corrections officials how he would break out of New York’s Five Points Correctional Facility. State corrections officials confirmed Sweat provided details on possible “security vulnerabilities.”——Information from: The New York Times, http://www.nytimes.com
