BEDFORD HILLS — Joyce Mitchell is refuting the television portrayal of her in the Showtime series "Escape at Dannemora."

"He doesn't care about the truth," the 54-year-old inmate said about Ben Stiller, the executive producer and director. "All he cares about is making millions off of me."

In two interviews with the New York Post, Mitchell. who is incarcerated at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, denied she had consensual sex with David Sweat and Richard Matt, whom she helped escape from Clinton Correctional Facility in June 2015. The 23-day manhunt that was launched for the escapees resulted in the Sweat being recaptured and Matt being shot to death.

Mitchell was found guilty of promoting prison contraband and was sentenced to seven years in the Westchester prison for her part in the escape that cost taxpayers about $22 million.

Mitchell, known as Tillie, doesn't deny she smuggled in drill bits and hacksaw blades in frozen ground beef for Matt and Sweat. She remains adamant that she didn't have sex with the inmates, only that she provided Sweat with nude photos of herself and was forced to give Matt oral sex.

But in the show, Patricia Arquette who plays Mitchell, is depicted having regular sex with Sweat and Matt in the prison tailor shop, which she managed. Mitchell told the Post that it was "impossible" she was able to have sex in the tailor shop.

However, the state Attorney General details many of the incidents depicted in the Showtime series in a 154-page report.

Released in June 2016, the report, from Inspector General Catherine Leahy Scott, was used as the source material for the miniseries. Stiller said prior to the report, he rejected the idea of the seven-part series, because there were not enough information on the escape. His feeling changed after the report was released.

"This is what we've been looking for, which is the actual sort of source material," Stiller told The Watch podcast.

The IG report noted that Mitchell began working at Dannemora in 2008 as an Industrial Training Supervisor. In November 2013, she was assigned to Tailor Shop 1 where she remained until the day of the escape.

On July 12, 2014, the Clinton prison administration received an anonymous, handwritten letter, believed to be from an inmate, containing several allegations of improper conduct in Tailor Shop 1, the report states.

The letter claimed: "It's funny that she (Mitchell) goes to [Tailor Shop 9, the unstaffed

spare parts room], next door with the same guy once or twice a week for 3 to 5 minute[s] and

come out with nothing. I have notice that since I start it working here 4 the past 5 months." [sic]

Although unnamed in the letter, it was clear to staff and inmates in the shop that Sweat

was the referenced "guy." An inmate provided partial corroboration of the allegations, testifying

that Mitchell and Sweat left the shop together 'a few times [for] five to 10 minutes.'"

That led to Sweat being removed from the Taylor Shop.

That is when Mitchell's relationship with Matt began.

The report said: "As one inmate described Matt's influence in the tailor shop, 'If you didn't kiss Matt's a--, then your days were numbered.' In the words of another inmate, after Sweat's removal, the shop became the 'kingdom of Matt.'"

"In Sweat's absence," the report continued. "Matt also began to focus greater personal attention on Mitchell. Mitchell recalled that Matt became 'flirtatious;' he "made me feel special." More significantly, Matt began asking more favors of Mitchell, revealing her willingness to break prison rules for his benefit and laying the foundation for the escape nine months later."

Mitchell told The Post she hasn't seen the show, said she has heard all about it from the guards at Bedford Hills and her husband, Lyle. She said she cries daily and leads a lonely life in prison, said that she wishes she could take back her actions, the newspaper reported.

She also said she looks forward to spending time with her family when she is released in June 2022. Her husband Lyle Mitchell, she told the Post, doesn't believe she was unfaithful.

The IG report also details claims about a scheme to murder her husband.

"Moreover, despite her claims to the contrary, Mitchell took steps consistent with a plan to

murder Lyle Mitchell. Within days of the escape, Mitchell admitted, she accepted from Matt 'two pills' which she assumed were painkillers prison medical staff had prescribed him for his sciatica. The plan, according to Mitchell, was that on the night of the escape, she would surreptitiously administer the pills to her husband to put him into a sound sleep, pick up Matt and Sweat outside the prison, then return home where Matt would murder Lyle Mitchell."

"Mitchell said she took the pills home the same day Matt gave them to her and kept them in her purse. Incredibly, in her testimony to the Inspector General, Mitchell claimed to have forgotten she had the pills and, only after the escape, flushed them down the toilet. However, Mitchell, in two separate statements to the State Police, claimed she had never received the pills from Matt."

"He comes to visit me every two weeks," Mitchell told the Post about her husband Lyle. "He will be here on Christmas Day."

Lyle Mitchell also built her a gazebo in which she is looking forward to "spending time with my husband and my kids" once released.

She also said she plans on writing a book, contradicting the Showtime series' version of events.

"The truth doesn't sell," she told the Post. "Everyone thinks I'm just a whore who wanted it."
