Mission Statement

Sing Sing Prison Museum is the extraordinary location where the complex and compelling stories of incarceration are shared on the grounds of one of America’s most historic active prisons. A site of self-reflection and learning, the Museum challenges all of us to imagine a more equitable criminal justice system and to take action toward building a more just society. 

Our Goals Are To:
  1. De-sensationalize and humanize the stories of the prison impacted: Become a prominent voice in the national conversation about social and criminal justice.
  2. Challenge what it means to be a prison museum: Become the leading prison museum in the U.S., with a facility of architectural distinction and a reputation of outstanding programs.
  3. Listen to and uplift those living the experience daily: Have a positive impact on the incarcerated, workers, victims, and families.,
  4. Revitalize Ossining: Stimulate local and regional economic development in the Hudson Valley and the village of Ossining.
