Back To Jail
Are you an American that has read any piece of news in the past month? Okay, so you’ve probably heard of David Sweat. He and Richard Matt made an improbable escape from a New York prison, resulting in a manhunt and a news sensation. Richard Matt was shot dead, and eventually David Sweat was also found and shot. He, however, lived to tell his story- he just won’t have someone to tell it to. Sweat is being released from the hospital and returning to prison, confined to a prison cell for nearly the entirety of every day. The perfect escape plan, which involved years of planning, cultivating, manipulation, and deception, has ended as an abject failure for everyone involved.
The Average Day For David Sweat
Obviously David Sweat is not going to be returning to his old prison stomping grounds. He’s left Clinton Correctional a mess – it’s still being investigated, administrators have been put on leave, and two former employees have been charged with their connection to the escape. Instead, David Sweat is being transferred to the Five Points Correctional Facility. For his first 24 hours there in the infirmary for a mandatory medical evaluation. From there, Sweat will be put into what is essentially isolation. He will be in his cell for 23 hours a day. Inside his cell? A bed, a toilet, a sink, a shower, and a writing platform. Sweat is also being placed on suicide watch. He’s going to be in Five Points’ special housing unit, which is no stranger to notable murders – Sweat was already doing life in prison for murder, and it’s housed such notables as Timothy Vail and Lemuel Smith.
He’s Been Surprisingly Cooperative
David Sweat was already serving a life sentence; this is guaranteed to add years onto it. But he was said to be incredibly cooperative in the investigation while being questioned during his hospital stint. Why would a man who, at this point, has seemingly nothing left to lose, be so cooperative? According to legal analyst Lisa Bloom, he still has something to gain – small privileges such as the television, or the hot plate. Presumably, David Sweat is hoping that with good behavior he can regain some small things to help keep his sanity. We certainly know what happens when he loses it.
