I am wondering if Patricia Arquette is going to play the dead deputy. I am seeing a movie of the week from this incident.

I think Patricia Arquette has already been there, done that, in Escape at Dannemora.

She wasn't a deputy or just a correction officer. She was the Assistant Director of Corrections. She was a boss and had a lot of leeway which was why she was able to waltz the convict out of the prison without question.

@Etoile308 "I think Patricia Arquette has already been there, done that, in Escape at Dannemora."
That is why I think that she would be perfect for this role. Another possibility is Heather Locklear. Considering how her career is going she might be available for the role.

Thank you @CrazyKittyLvr2 . That was my point.

Upon capture. the guy called the deputy his wife. This is not the first time a woman sprang a prisoner "for love."
I actualy thought she was smart to kill herself, as a sheriff said last evening that it appeared so, as she knew how horrible it would be in prison for an officer, but if she had thought this through better, maybe she would not have taken the chance to help him escape, though must have thought what would happen if caught, as she demonstrated. I am surprised that he didn't choose this option also, guess he prefers life in prison to dying.

That's a good point. But women being CO's in all women's prisons could have a similar outcome @Buffalogal47 . Same thing could happen. Don't know if she'd be 6'9 (that's rare for a woman) but she could be big.

I work with a woman who used to be a counselor at one of the state prisons here. Let me just say, information from her is that the guards do become extremely friendly with prisoners, favors are passed along, money is exchanged and passed onto family members on the "outside", narcotics are brought in, guards are threatened and remember, many of the convicted have nothing to lose because they are lifers. While this woman always had a guard present or visible during sessions, she was always on high alert because she never knew what might happen - hence the reason she left.
Also, we used have inmates from local county jails performing grounds keeping tasks at the business where I work. Why? Because it's free labor. While employees were instructed NOT to fraternize, it happened. Before you knew it, some women employees were flirting with some of the male inmates and were married after their release. It did not turn out well for the women. After a few bad incidences on the grounds, the landscaping services had to come to a stop.
This woman had everything to lose and nothing to gain. I don't know who coined the phrase love is blind, but they were dead on correct.
Preach!!!!

She had everything to lose and nothing to gain. I still wonder if he shot her. Just heard she was to get employee of the year. 57, ready to retire, and she does this. I just don’t get it. Someone respected, trusted. Never know what goes on in someone’s mind.
