Today show interview with joyce mitchell

Today's Matt Lauer secured an exclusive interview with Joyce Mitchell, the married prison worker accused of helping two felons escape from the Clinton Correctional Facility in upstate New York in June.

Mitchell is currently being held at Clinton County Jail, having already pleaded guilty to promoting prison contraband and criminal facilitation. In the interview, which airs Monday, Mitchell claims that she's sorry for aiding Richard Matt and David Sweat, telling Lauer that she did not have full control over the disturbing situation.

Mitchell, a seamstress, reportedly formed a close relationship with the two felons, both of whom were convicted of murder.

Interview, Joyce Mitchell, the New York prison seamstress who admitted to helping Richard Matt and David Sweat escape from prison, tells TODAY's.

Mitchell eventually helped them escape the maximum-security state prison by bringing them tools, such as blades and chisels. It should be noted that she did not provide them with any power tools.

As the manhunt unfolded in the forests of upstate New York in June, it was reported Mitchell had a romantic and sexual relationship with Matt.
