The first one was previously shot in the heat and killed. The second NY prisoner, David Sweat has been captured. He is one of two convicted murderers who escaped from a maximum security New York prison earlier this month.

Area residents are breathing a sigh of relief, but most Americans wonder why it took three weeks?
