Two New York corrections officers at the Schenectady County Jail are out of work because of their actions during last week's prison break. The sheriff's department said Jayme Paul and Gerold Treacy's mistakes directly led to the escape of inmate Edwin Ortiz. Sheriff Harry Buffardi said the pair failed to make a correct head count; leading jail officials to believe Ortiz was still in his cell. He said, "I think it's only logical that I can hold a degree of accountability for our officers to count to six, particularly for the highest rated escapist we have in the jail. This guy was well known to us as an escape risk. He was highlighted in red everywhere we looked, and he wasn't counted as he was coming back in." Ortiz escaped from the jail on Feb 21 and was caught the next day. |
