These pictures of Sing Sing Prison were taken in the summer of 1971, in Ossining, New York. It is located on the Hudson River, north of New York City. This is the prison that added phrases like "Up the river" and "The Big House" to our lexicon.

Keep in mind that these photos were taken over thirty years ago, some of these buildings may have been modified or demolished completely.
