Prison escapee David Sweat has blasted Ben Stiller, claiming the actor-director's Golden Globe-nominated drama about his Shawshank Redemption-like break-out is full of lies.

'It would be my suggestion that you stick to comedies and movies, Mr. Stiller, before you really ruin people's lives with false Docu Series, or get better fact checkers!' the convicted cop killer wrote in a letter, exclusively obtained by DailyMailTV.

Sweat is particularly peeved about scenes where he is shown calling prison worker Joyce 'Tilly' Mitchell 'Mommy' while having sex with her.

'You made it really messed up,' Sweat wrote in the two-page letter. 'You have me calling her Mommy! As if I had some weird phycological (sic) disorder or physical fantasy that when I'm sleeping with a woman, I'm imagining that I'm sleeping with my mother.

'WTF! That is so messed up and an illegal defimation (sic).'

David Sweat (pictured in 2015) has penned an angry letter to Ben Stiller expressing his anger over the 'fictitious' portrayal of the convict in Showtime's Escape at Dannemora

In a two-page letter obtained exclusively by DailyMailTV, Sweat slams Stiller's 'fictitious' portrayal of the convict's 2015 prison escape which he says will make his attempts to prove himself innocent 'a thousand times harder'

Sweat is also particularly peeved about the show's depiction of his relationship with prison worker Joyce Mitchell - who he claims he's never had sex with. The letter confirms that he met personally with Stiller to help get facts straight for the seven-part series

Sweat, 38, is currently in Auburn Correctional Facility serving a life sentence without possibility of parole for the July 4, 2002 murder of sheriff's officer Kevin Tarsia in his hometown of Binghamton, New York.

He claims he did not kill 36-year-old Tarsia but pled guilty to avoid the death penalty, not knowing that within a few years the state would abolish executions.

Sweat and fellow convicted murderer Richard Matt escaped from the maximum-security Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, New York, on June 6, 2015, after tunneling through heating ducts and sewers, using tools smuggled into the lock-up by Mitchell.

Their escape led to a $23 million hunt fugitive involving hundreds of cops and prison guards through thickly wooded upstate New York countryside.

After nearly three weeks on the run, Matt was shot and killed by police the day after his 49th birthday.

Two days later Sweat was shot and recaptured close to the Canadian border. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo likened the escape to the 1994 movie The Shawshank Redemption.

Stiller directed the highly-acclaimed Showtime series Escape at Dannemora based on the escape.

It was nominated for both a Golden Globe and a Critics' Choice Award. Patricia Arquette, who plays Mitchell, won best actress awards in both cases.

In his letter, Sweat — prisoner number 03B2297 — confirms that he met personally with Stiller to help get facts straight for the seven-part series.

He said he has not seen the show as he is in solitary confinement without access to a television but has heard from others about the show.

'Dear Mr. Stiller, I was appalled to hear how your series portraied (sic) certain events,' he opened his letter, which is dated the day after Christmas.

'I don't know if this was your doing or your writers' continued interest in to creating their own fictitious story as they had originally intended to do and you initially refused.'

Sweat complains that his depiction on the show will make his attempts to prove himself innocent more difficult as attorneys may not want to take up his case.

'I never killed anyone, tried to or even had the intent to do so and it's my intent to prove that I'm innocent, which is now going to be a thousand times harder for me to get a lawyer to do so!' he wrote.

He tells Stiller the portrayal of Tarsia's murder 'was not only fictitious, they don't even match the police reports or evidence.'

'I can only imagine how Mr. Tarsia's family feels about what you portraied (sic),' he continues. 'You made his death seem a hundred times more agoniesing (sic) than that of what was in police reports and evidence.'

Sweat told Stiller he had a duty to show the truth on his show. 'A false portrayal is not only a disservice to everyone involved and their families but to all of those who watch it and are led to believe it is true,' he wrote.

Mitchell (pictured in court in 2015) 44, has also denied having sex with Sweat and also branded Stiller a 'son-of-a-b**ch liar' over his series

Mitchell, 44, has also denied having sex with Sweat. 'Ben Stiller is a son-of-a-bitch liar just like the rest of the world,' she told the New York Post in a behind-bars interview in December.

'He doesn't care about the truth. All he cares about is making millions off me. He's an idiot,' she added. Stiller responded by saying the mini-series was never meant to be a documentary.

'We did have to create scenes based on us inferring what we believed to be the truth,' he said.

Sweat says Mitchell and Matt did in fact have sex, his fiancée Fran Malanik told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview. But, he claims, he was never intimate with her himself.

Mitchell, was the prison tailor shop supervisor in Clinton and both Sweat and Matt worked under her. She was convicted of smuggling tools into the prison to help Sweat and Matt escape.

She was supposed to be their getaway driver when they emerged from the sewers but she got cold feet at the last moment and admitted herself to the hospital for panic attacks, leaving the inmates to fend for themselves.

Mitchell is currently serving a seven-year sentence in Bedford Hills Prison and will be eligible for parole in June.

Sweat ends his letter with a challenge to Stiller. 'Here's a question for you, Mr. Stiller,' he writes. 'Now what happens when I prove I'm innocent and that I didn't kill anyone?

'I'll leave you with that thought and hope that the series didn't completely ruin my chances of finding a lawyer because they were led to believe what you portrayed (sic) was true!'

In Stiller's series, Paul Dano plays Sweat, while Oscar-winner Benicio del Toro plays Matt. Malanik told DailyMail.com she believes Dano 'did a truly excellent job,' but the series is seriously flawed.

She said Stiller and cast members grilled Sweat about the facts then ignored them when making the series. 'Why would they even bother visiting him?' she asked. 'The series is 50% true and 50% false.'

Sweat is currently in his fifth maximum-security New York prison. He was initially sent to Clinton, then after his capture was moved to Five Points Correctional Facility in the Finger Lakes region. Then he went to the notoriously tough Attica Correctional Facility — where he went on a hunger strike, claiming guards were threatening to poison his food.

He was then moved to Wende Correctional Facility near Buffalo in May and transferred to Auburn last month.

Malanik, a divorced mother with one daughter, who now works as a caregiver, claims at least two of those transfers — from Five Points to Attica and from Wende to Auburn — were designed to make her visits more difficult.

Malanik, 46, became fascinated with Sweat during his time on the run. She started writing to him after his recapture and first met him in April 2016. She was banned from visiting him for 60 days last year after guards accused her of fondling him. She claims that as a nurse, she was checking him after he cofmplained of a lump on his groin.

She moved from her home on Long Island, New York, to the Finger Lakes town of Ovid, within walking distance of Five Points. Last year she relocated to Buffalo to make visits to Wende easier, but each time he was transferred within weeks.

Auburn is a two-hour drive from Buffalo — but less than 45 minutes from her previous home in Ovid.

'I was on a visit in Wende and a guard looked at my ID and said 'Have you moved?' Three weeks later they moved him to Auburn,' she said.

'Wherever I move to, they are going to move him away from,' she said.

DailyMail.com reached out to Stiller's representatives but they did not immediately respond.
