The news reports from New York of an underground escape by dangerous inmates from a prison built before the Civil War has an all too familiar ring to people in the Indiana prison system and the community that is home to the state's oldest prison. That's because something similar happened nearly six years ago at the Indiana State Prison in Michigan City, where escaping inmates crawled through hundreds of yards of utility tunnels to emerge through a manhole cover to temporary freedom. "It does ring a bell when I hear about the one in upstate New York," said Michigan City Chief of Police Mark Swistek, whose department joined the manhunt after the 2009 escape of three inmates who emerged from a manhole on West 10th Street. "As far as the age of the prison, there are a lot of similarities on how they actually escaped in that." In upstate New York, a massive manhunt is underway for two prisoners who escaped the maximum security Clinton Correctional Facility, near the Canadian border.
