Outlaw

The Resume

    Born in United States
    Prison tailor shop instructor
    Employed with the Clinton Correctional in Dannemura, New York (2008-2015)
    Charged with aiding to convicted murderers David Sweat and Richard Matt in their prison break, allegedly in exchange for their agreeing to plan the murder of her husband (Jun. 6, 2015); pleaded guilty (July 28, 2015)
    Admitted to aiding their escape by smuggling escape tools inside frozen meat
    Was supposed to meet the escaped convicts in a getaway car near a manhole and drive them to Mexico
    Allegedly had second thoughts about the escape, only hours before, and checked herself into a hospital suffering from 'chest pangs' and 'nerves' on the day of the escape
    Suspended without pay and held in lew of $100,000 bail on charges of promoting prison contraband

Why she might be annoying:

    Her ex-husband described her as 'a serial cheat.'
    In terms of femme fatales, she wasn't exactly Veronica Lake.
    There are endless theories as to whether or not she was really part of a conspiracy to kill her husband.
    Her husband sounded like The Waterboy's Bobby Boucher (so now that we've established a motive...)
    She was allegedly caught having sex on railroad tracks before her stint at Clinton Correctional.
    She had adulterous, intimate relations with both Matt and Sweat, the latter whom was 12 years her junior.
    She endangered the public wellbeing by helping two dangerous convicts pull off a 'Shawshank Redemption' style escape.
    She allegedly had her 'change of heart' while eating at a Chinese restaurant with her husband (MSG has that effect on people).

Why she might not be annoying:

    Close relations claimed that she loved both her job and her sewing machine.
    Part of her reasoning for backing out was her realizing that it was D-Day.
    She destroyed the pills meant to incapacitate her husband and neglected to pick the escapees up at the designated location point.
    Her neglecting to pick them up at the manhole threw a major ratchet in their plan, forcing them to continue their escape on foot.
    Reports surfaced that she was actually receiving threats against her husband's life unless she cooperated with the escape plan.
    Her husband disregarded rumors that she was plotting to have him killed - visiting her in prison, talking of forgiveness, and denying he would seek to divorce her.
    She was only one of at least a dozen prison officials who aided Matt & Sweat in their prison break.
    Her son defended her, saying 'she's not going to risk her life or other people's lives to help these guys escape. She's always been a good person, and anyone will tell you, [she and her husband] are the nicest people.'
