   A host of correctional officers and prison executives —   
   including the superintendent — have been placed on leave from   
   Clinton Correctional facility following the escape of two   
   convicted murderers, authorities said Tuesday.   
      
   The New York State Department of Corrections said in a statement   
   that three members of the upstate prison's executive team and   
   nine security staff are on "administrative leave" as part of the   
   ongoing review into the jailbreak. It did not offer further   
   details.   
      
   Steven Racette, the prison superintendent, along with his deputy   
   Stephen Browne, who oversees security, were two of the three   
   executives suspended, a senior New York official with direct   
   knowledge of the matter told NBC News.   
      
   Convicted murderers Richard Matt and David Sweat used power   
   tools to escape from the maximum-security prison in Dannemora on   
   June 6. The duo were on the lam for three weeks: Matt was shot   
   and killed on Friday while Sweat was shot and wounded two days   
   later. He is in custody at the Albany Medical Center, which on   
   Tuesday upgraded his condition to "fair" from "serious."   
      
   Sweat has told investigators from his hospital bed that the only   
   prison worker involved in the breakout was seamstress Joyce   
   Mitchell, a prosecutor said Monday.   
      
   Mitchell has been charged with providing escape tools to the   
   fugitives, and said in a statement through her lawyer Tuesday   
   she was "happy" the manhunt had ended.   
      
   "That is what she has been praying for and her prayers were   
   answered," Mitchell's attorney Stephen Johnston said.   
      
   Clinton County District Attorney Andrew Wylie offered the detail   
   on Sweat's statements after a second prison employee arrested in   
   connection with the escape, corrections officer Gene Palmer,   
   made a court appearance on Monday.   
      
   Palmer is said to have been the courier Mitchell used to deliver   
   frozen ground meat — hiding hacksaw blades — to Sweat and fellow   
   lifer Matt. The guard has denied any advance knowledge of the   
   escape plot, and, according to Wylie, Sweat has not told   
   investigators anything different.   
      
   Palmer, 57, is charged with providing other tools to the duo in   
   exchange for some of Matt's artwork, according to court papers.
