State comptroller records obtained by The Associated Press for June and July show overtime totaled $41 million for the corrections department and $17.6 million for state police. That's roughly twice the amount spent for those months in 2014.
Those two agencies led the 23-day manhunt by more than 1,100 officers for Richard Matt and David Sweat, who escaped June 6 from Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora.
