Sing Sing Correctional Facility, managed by the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, is a maximum-security prison located approximately 30 miles north of New York City along the east bank of the Hudson River. Originally named the "Ossining Correctional Facility" in 1970, it reverted to its original name, "Sing Sing," in 1985, derived from a Native American tribe from whom the land was purchased in 1685.

The facility houses around 1,700 prisoners and has plans to convert its original 1825 cell block into a museum showcasing its historical significance. Sing Sing's property is divided by the Metro-North Railroad's Hudson Line.

Sing Sing Correctional Facility provides mental health treatment through various programs tailored to inmates with acute to medium mental illness, including an Intermediate Care Program, Transitional Intermediate Care Program, and Residential Crisis Treatment Program for those with serious mental health issues.

Vocational studies in carpentry, computers, electrical work, plumbing/heating, small engine repair, custodial maintenance, and welding are also available to inmates.
