==Founding of the Prison==
The of land that Great Meadow Correctional Facility sits on was purchased by the state of New York in 1905 from Isaac Baker. A mountain lake two miles (3 km) from the prison was the main source of water for the facility. The lake sat higher than the prison grounds allowing the transfer of water to be efficient. The original plans for the land was to build an institution for the mentally insane; however, such an institution was never erected. Instead, in 1909 New York legislature appropriated $350,000 to build a new prison.〔"Great Meadow: A New Wall and a New Spirit. Author unknown. Document provided by Great Meadow Correctional Facility September 3, 2008.〕
Until the Great Meadows Correctional Facility was built, New York Prisons had been named after the places where they were built. No one knows how Great Meadow got its name, but it may have been named after the huge plot of land that the prison sits on.
Construction began in 1909. The original cell block was more than long〔 and featured 1,168 individual cells.〔.
