'Escape at Dannemora': Why Tilly indulges in illicit prison sex despite having a trusting, caring husband
Ben Stiller's dark prison drama, 'Escape at Dannemora', has aired two episodes so far, and within that short amount of time, the Showtime series has managed to build up its characters and break them down. The plot is based on the real-life incident of the infamous Clinton Correctional Facility escape back in 2015, where inmates Richard Matt (played by Benicio del Toro) and David Sweat (Paul Dano) managed to dig out a tunnel and break out of prison, leading to a $23 million manhunt and investigation.
Acting as a catalyst in their elaborate insidious plan was a certain prison employee, Joyce 'Tilly' Mitchell, a married woman of 50, who used the prison inmates for sexual gratification in exchange for the tools that would help them burrow out of the facility.
