A Dialogue on Prison Reform
Sing Sing Correctional Facility is an active, maximum- security prison where theories and the realities of criminal punishment and rehabilitation have played out for almost 200 years.
Today considered the most progressive facility in the New York State prison system, creating a museum and center for criminal justice inside an active prison is a natural choice for the place that helped established American prison systems in 1825.
The museum's future facility will occupy a location both inside and outside prison grounds, illustrating that we are all responsible for bridging divides in our knowledge of prison systems.
Our Museum will showcase an incredible history of criminal justice through exhibits, artifacts, and experiences as tools to understand national conversations about social justice and incarceration. As an emerging voice, our goal is to deliver new ways of understanding for a fairer future.
