DANNEMORA, N.Y., June 30 (UPI) -- A dozen officials at Clinton Correctional Facility, including the prison's superintendent, have been placed on administrative leave after two escapees led police on a two-month, multi-state chase.
Steven Racette, the superintendent at Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, two other high-level prison administrators and nine guards are on leave "as part of the ongoing review," the New York Department of Corrections said in a written statement.
