New evidence suggests that Gene Palmer—the Clinton Correctional Facility guard who allegedly accepted paintings by allegedly big-dicked murderer Richard Matt as payment for aiding Matt’s escape alongside David Sweat—has spent years indulging his own artistic inclinations in addition to those of convicted felons. Just like Orange Is the New Black’s Joe Caputo, Palmer played guitar in a shitkickin’ bar band on the weekends.

Please if you would, allow me to tell you the tale of how one murderous convict—armed with only a big dick and an artist’s temperament—painted his way to freedom. Ahhh, mon cherie, quel monde merveilleux.

Gene Palmer, the New York prison guard who allegedly passed hacksaw blades hidden in uncooked meat to escaped killers Richard Matt and David Sweat, has been arrested, CNN’s Shimon Prokupecz reports. On Tuesday, Palmer’s attorney said his client was unaware “there was something in the meat.”
