A maximum security state prison, located in Ossining, NY. Other than the long-closed Alcatraz in California, it is the most famous prison in American popular culture. Probable source of the phrase "sent up the river." Today Sing Sing houses more than 1,700 prisoners. There are plans to convert the original 1825 cell block, which still stands, into a museum.
