2020 In Review

Dear Friends of the Sing Sing Prison Museum, 

We began this year with the goal of starting work on building a Preview Center at the former prison Powerhouse. This goal remains our top priority. Unfortunately, COVID-19 caused a delay in our plans; however the pandemic and the summer of Black Lives Matter protests has shown us that our museum’s purpose of reimagining a more just society is more relevant than ever. We are pleased to report that despite the challenges, this year’s accomplishments are bringing us closer to our vision in unexpected ways.

This year we have:
  • Developed an Augmented Reality, multimedia experience of Sing Sing Prison’s historic 1825 Cellblock to be launched in 2021;
  • Completed major projects funded by the Andrew Mellon Foundation, American Express and the National Endowment for the Humanities;
  • Worked with Columbia University’s Center for Justice on an oral history project that will inform the Master Narrative of SSPM;
  • Collaborated with Ossining Public Schools to develop criminal justice curriculum, and conducted an intern research project with Pace University;
  • Produced criminal justice webinars with expert panelists on contemporary topics including policing, the death penalty, COVID-19 and incarceration;
  • Donated to a PPE drive for Sing Sing Correctional Facility;
  • Created a master narrative of the history of Sing Sing Prison and conducted a collections survey to identify objects related to the prison;
  • Joined and participated in a national consortium of prison museums;
  • Served on the advisory committee for the Village of Ossining’s Comprehensive Plan and waterfront rehabilitation project.

In 2021 we need your help to continue our "Justice Talks" webinar series.
Our goal is $15,000. Will you give your support?
