Located at 325 Riverside Dr in Fallsburg, NY, Sullivan Correctional Facility carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. Sullivan Correctional Facility offers diverse educational and vocational programs aimed at equipping offenders for successful reintegration into society and reducing recidivism. Through these initiatives, inmates gain skills and confidence, fostering personal growth and resilience.

Sullivan Correctional Facility, a maximum-security prison for male inmates is overseen by the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision. Situated on an 850-acre tract of land, it shares its location with Woodbourne Correctional Facility, a medium-security prison. Funding for Sullivan was allocated following the loss of Rikers Island as a state facility in 1980, with construction completed by 1985 on a sharp upslope overlooking the Neversink River valley.

Access roads to the prison were built after the NYSDOC purchased the Lebowitz Pine View Hotel property in 1983. Initially, the hotel buildings served as an annex for Woodbourne facility prisoners until the completion of Sullivan. This annex operated as a minimum-security extension of Sullivan until its closure in 2010.

Sullivan houses approximately 560 to 580 inmates in four pods arranged in a circular layout, with 86% of them incarcerated for violent felonies and 60% serving life sentences. Notable inmates who have been housed at Sullivan include David Berkowitz, known as the "Son of Sam" serial killer, Nicholas Brooks, Robert Chambers (the "Preppie Killer"), Ronald DeFeo, Jr. (whose crimes inspired The Amityville Horror), Abraham Hirschfeld, Larme Price, and Arthur Shawcross, also known as the Genesee River Killer.
