The Sing Sing Prison Museum tells the complex story of incarceration on the grounds of one of America’s most historic active prisons while challenging all of us to imagine a more equitable criminal justice system and to take action toward building a more just society.

The Museum covers the past and present trauma related to the site and seeks to understand the many ways it has affected people throughout its long history. To uncover the untold stories of Sing Sing, the Museum works closely with scholars as well as those with firsthand experience, including returning citizens and their families, victims, corrections officers, and others.
