The female prison worker who allegedly helped the two convicted murderers escape from a New York prison last month pleaded guilty to aiding the escapees Tuesday, and her confession gave all the insane details of her sex-riddled plot.
Joyce Mitchell, 51, pleaded guilty to first-degree promoting prison contraband and fourth-degree criminal facilitation. She could spend as long as seven years in prison, ABC News reports.
NBC News obtained copies of Mitchell’s statements to police, previously unreported. In the documents, Mitchell confesses to having oral sex with one of the prisoners and sending X-rated pictures to the other.
In statements to police obtained by NBC, Mitchell admits she performed oral sex on Richard Matt out of fear and that he would walk to her desk wearing a coat with a hole so that she could touch his genitals.
She also admitted that she passed notes containing sexual writing to Matt’s cellmate, David Sweat. She gave pictures of her naked breast and vagina to Matt for him to give to Sweat but says she never had sexual contact with Sweat.
“I believe I helped inmate Matt and inmate Sweat escape because I was caught up in the fantasy,” Mitchell said in a statement. “I enjoyed the attention, the feeling both of them gave me and the thought of a different life.”
Mitchell, who worked in the prison’s tailor shop, smuggled tools to one of the prisoners by hiding them in hamburger meat.
The prisoner had reportedly planned to kill Mitchell’s husband before leaving town. Mitchell was allegedly supposed to be the getaway driver but backed out at the last minute and went to the hospital for anxiety.
The prosecutor has agreed not to charge Mitchell with crimes related to the alleged plot to murder her husband or the allegations that she had sexual relations with prisoners.
Mitchell’s husband Lyle said that one of the prisoners, Matt, wooed her into helping with the escape. Lyle said at a press conference after the court hearing the “she was swept off her feet a bit.”
Matt was known as an extremely manipulative womanizer. One FBI agent who helped capture Matt described him as “very well endowed. He gets girlfriends any place he goes.”
Matt was killed by an officer after the escape, and the other escapee, David Sweat, was wounded and is back in prison.
Lyle has stood by his wife through the ordeal. She will be sentenced in late September.
“Do I still love her? Yes,” Lyle said in a previous interview. “Am I mad? Yes. How could she do this? How could she do this to our kids?”
