It befits his mechanical expertise, put to use as a helping hand to CCF tailor-shop supervisor Joyce “Tilly” Mitchell (played by Patricia Arquette). Prisoners were kept under lock and key, cage upon cage upon cage, lights on and lights off in their routine fashion, with assorted back-scratching between felons and COs being brokered amid the shadows.Īs played by Paul Dano with a deceptively hangdog disposition (we witness his bark while he’s on the pay phone with his mom), David is prone to taking things at face value and finding pragmatic solutions to his problems. As depicted in the pilot for Escape at Dannemora, director Ben Stiller’s dramatization of the events, Clinton Correctional had been running on a kind of autopilot for some time. It was the breach that no one and everyone could see coming. It's not just torture, but manipulation as well.Clinton Correctional Facility had been in operation for a century and a half when inmates Richard Matt and David Sweat escaped its grounds in June 2015, setting off a several-weeks-long manhunt that ended with both men shot and one of them (Matt) dead. Jamie attacks him, and Marley nearly kills him in return, but then Jack kicks Marley in the face to get him off of Jamie so he doesn't kill him. He tells Jamie that any man can be broken, and proceeds to prove it. He lashes out with terrifyingly controlled rage, and yet, also acts as if all of this is part of an elaborate plan. His character is a man whose secret sexuality has been so deeply repressed within him that he has allowed it to turn into a twisted and dark thing. Tobias Menzies is completely terrifying as Jack. And as he said, he's only getting started. He 'tests' Jamie's sincerity about letting Black Jack rape him by nailing his broken hand to a table while Claire holds him and cries. He coddles Jamie and then beats him, he shoves Jamie's hand again his penis, and then walks away.

Ultimately, though, his desire is for Jamie, and it's a game he plays without being rushed. All of Black Jack's former torture of the two was brought back up in these exchanges, from the references to Jamie's scars to Jack considering letting his 'dog' Marley rape Claire.

The rest of 'Wentworth Prison' focused on Claire's brave and clever - but foiled - plans to rescue Jamie, and Jamie's dealings with Black Jack in the dungeon.
