		Last summer, prisoners at Otisville Correctional Facility took the unusual step of all showing up at the mess hall for breakfast—a meal they often skip—to register their displeasure and keep the officers extra busy.
		And at some facilities, inmates are now emptying their prison bank accounts and stockpiling food in their cells to prepare for the possibility that they could be locked in their cells for a long stretch of time come the new year.
		When several Sing Sing inmates refused to wear their "greens"—the state-issued uniforms—in the mess hall, their cells were torched.

		A stint at Sing Sing, with its decaying plant and reputation for chaos, is a sort of rite of passage for New York State correction officers.
		Their first assignment is generally Sing Sing, which always needs staff, because most correction officers can't afford to live in Westchester County and because of Sing Sing's reputation for being run-down and disorganized.
		Correction officers don't like being referred to as "prison guards," with all the negative connotations that the phrase has come to have, but that is what most newspapers—and everyone else—call them.

		Sing Sing, named after the Sint Sinck Indians, was popularized by movies such as ``The Big House'' with James Cagney and the classic ``20,000 Years in Sing Sing'' starring Spencer Tracy and Bette Davis that depicted the dank despair of prison life.
		Hopefully, by reading about his experiences, people will see that life at a place like Sing Sing, regardless of what side of the bars they are on, is one that they never escape, he says.

	Article: PRISONERS ARE CITIZENS
		It's Sing Sing Correctional Facility and what goes on here is quite different from what the movies and the television specials and media histories describe.
		For many of the state corrections workers, especially those who are from upstate areas, the job represents a replacement for the industrial and agricultural careers that have disappeared.
		These facilities work on an "out of sight, out of mind" premise that uses the public's fear of crime and criminals to create a comfortable space that supports wretched conditions, poorly trained staff, and the most minimal preparations for return to society.

		Very few of those inside Sing Sing Correctional Facility have freely chosen to live there, but a feral cat decided to make the prison in Westchester County, New York, her home.
		Sadly, the kittens were the victims of severe animal abuse—not at the hands of a convicted prisoner, but by a corrections officer on cellblock B. In March 2001, Sergeant Ronald Hunlock came across a bag of goods in one of the inmate’s cells and demanded to know where it came from.
		In addition to the testimony provided by ASPCA veterinarian Ellen Hirshberg and the accompanying pictures of her deceased kittens, inmates and even other corrections officers from cellblock B willingly testified against Hunlock (which is unusual for a police brutality case).
