}} Sing Sing Correctional Facility is a maximum security prison〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NYS Dept. of Corrections Facility list )〕 operated by the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision in the village of Ossining, in the U.S. state of New York. It is located about 30 miles (50 km) north of New York City on the east bank of the Hudson River. In 1970, the name of the facility was changed to "Ossining Correctional Facility" and, in 1985, it received its present name.〔http://www.archives.nysed.gov/a/research/res_topics_legal_corrections_inst_sing.shtml〕 "Sing Sing" was derived from the name of a Native American Nation, "Sinck Sinck" (or "Sint Sinck"), from whom the land was purchased in 1685. Sing Sing prison confines about 1,700 prisoners.〔''Hub System: Profile of Inmate Population Under Custody on January 1, 2007.''
