Where is Dannemora?


New York’s Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora is approximately 120 miles from Huletts Landing.

Since the prison escape of two convicted murderers from New York’s Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, I have read a few articles as identifying the prison as being in upstate, New York. While it is, it is nowhere near Huletts.

The facility opened in 1865 and is closer to the border with Canada than it is to us.

While these escapees will hopefully be captured soon, Dannemora is separated by the Adirondacks mountains from Huletts Landing. The above picture shows how close the facility is to local streets. Evidently, the convicts tunneled under the wall and came up through a manhole cover on a side street.
