Bedford Hills Correctional Facility inmate Joyce “Tillie” Mitchell has a bone to pick with Ben Stiller’s portrayal of her in his new Showtime series, “Escape at Dannemora,” which is based on a true story involving Mitchell and the two convicted murderers she helped break out of prison, leading to a multi-million dollar manhunt and the death of one of the inmates.
In an interview from prison, Mitchell (above left) — who is portrayed by Patricia Arquette (above right) on the drama — told the New York Post that she “never had sex” with the men, David Sweat (played by Paul Dano) and Richard Matt (played by Benicio Del Toro), which is a large plot point in “Escape at Dannemora.”
