Or, as the article points out, it's most likely lunch for the guards.

But it seems certain that practices like this, some in place for decades, will now face close scrutiny. Two investigations are already underway to determine whether security lapses at Clinton-Dannemora prison allowed the two convicted murderers access to power tools they needed to cut their way out.


No one said "That's how they did it!"

Headlines like that imply there is a connection to the prison break. It's sloppy sensationalism.

get that pizza past layers of security to hand it off to a guard who eventually gets it to the tower. And how do they arrange how to pay?

The rope is much simpler.

that would be my first guess. Does anyone know if this is a prison that has contracted out to the private sector?

retired prison guard in CT and her son, my nephew, is still a prison guard in CT. I'll have to ask them if this is usual or normal. Personally, I think it's stupid that any prison would allow such practices.

from my brother who used to live near Auburn Prison, which is also maximum security, is the watch tower is separate from the prison, meaning you cannot get to it through the prison itself. Anything the guard needs is hoisted up to them, since it cannot go through the prison. So I would guess whatever is hoisted up to the watch tower whether it's arms, food or whatever has no way to get into the prison.
