30 students in PL393 Criminology and the Criminal Justice System and two sociology faculty members visited Sing Sing Correctional Facility for an all-day tour of the facility. This educational trip provided myriad insights into life in a maximum security prison, bringing the concept of a pure total institution to life. From conversations with correctional officers and the Deputy, to a briefing from an inmate about a new program at the facility, to walking tours throughout the organization, students learned about numerous features of life inside Sing Sing. Additionally, the Superintendent of Sing Sing Correctional Facility, Mr. Mike Capra, visited PL393 classes on Tuesday, November 10, to provide a short lecture and exchange in a question and answer session with cadets and faculty about Sing Sing and other timely topics about the US Criminal Justice System.
