Condemned: Inside the Sing Sing Death House by Scott Christianson
Requirements: .PDF reader, 4.0 MB
Overview: In the annals of American criminal justice, two prisons stand out as icons of institutionalized brutality and deprivation: Alcatraz and Sing Sing. In the 70 odd years before 1963, when the death sentence was declared unconstitutional in New York, Sing Sing was the site of almost one-half of the 1,353 executions carried out in the state. More people were executed at Sing Sing than at any other American prison, yet Sing Sing’s death house was, to a remarkable extent, one of the most closed, secret and mythologized places in modern America.
