‘Shawskank’ Joyce Mitchell seen with husband in first photos since release

“Shawskank” Joyce Mitchell, who helped two convicted murderers escape from an upstate maximum-security lockup, was seen with her devoted hubby enjoying takeout food in the first photos of her since she was sprung from prison.

Wearing a purple zip-up jacket and jeans, the ex-con former prison seamstress, 55, was spotted Saturday afternoon with her husband, Lyle, outside their home in rural Dickinson Center near the Canadian border following her release from Bedford Hills Correctional Facility in Westchester County.

Mitchell served more than four years behind bars for aiding the escapes of murderer Richard Matt and cop-killer David Sweat from the Clinton Correction Facility in Dannemora in a sensational “Shawshank Redemption”-style escape.

The married mom, who worked at Clinton Correctional, has also been accused of having sex with the pair, though she’s denied the allegations. Matt was shot dead after a three-week manhunt, while Sweat was captured and is now serving life behind bars.

Despite initially admitting that he was angry at his wife, her husband, who was a fellow Clinton prison worker, has stuck by her side throughout the ordeal.

“Do I still love her? Yes. Am I mad? Yes,” Lyle told NBC TV’s “Today” show in 2015.

Lyle said he believed his wife after confronting her about reports of affairs in a jailhouse reunion before she was sentenced.

“She swore on her son’s life . . . that ‘I never, ever had sex with them,’ ” he said.

But he conceded that she had a wandering eye because she had become unhappy in their marriage.

“She told me that Matt was giving her attention and stuff and she did not believe that I loved her anymore,” he said.

Lyle insisted that his wife was manipulated into the scheme and told her husband that she got “[in] over my head.

“She said, ‘I did not mean to do this. But these things happened,’ ” he told the outlet.

The story was dramatized in the hit Showtime mini-series “Escape at Dannemora.”

Mitchell had been denied parole three times but was granted a conditional release Thursday for good behavior, according to the state Department of Corrections.

During one of her attempts for parole, her husband insisted that he was still loyal to the former seamstress, saying, “All I want is for my wife to be coming home,” the Daily Mail reported.
