'Escape at Dannemora': What happens to Joyce 'Tilly' Mitchell after the panic attack? Where is she now?

Why Tilly did what she did has been discussed innumerable times, both by investigators carrying out the ensuing $23 million manhunt and also by the media
PUBLISHED DEC 18, 2018

The 2015 prison escape from Clinton Correction Facility, New York, had everything that would be required for a sensational Hollywood story. It was an escape story like none other before, and was compared to the likes of Stephen King's novel, 'The Shawshank Redemption.'

And now, Ben Stiller's riveting dark prison drama, 'Escape at Dannemora' shows the same story of inmates Richard Matt (Benicio del Toro) and David Sweat (Paul Dano) escaping with help from prison employee Joyce 'Tilly' Mitchell, in exchange for sexual gratification. Why Tilly did what she did has been discussed innumerable times, both by investigators carrying out the ensuing $23 million manhunt and also by the media.
