Religion in Sing Sing Prison 1825 – 1865

Sing Sing Prison and the Tappan Sea by W.H. Bartlett, 1840

Folks, this is just a short post to direct you to the Sing Sing Prison Museum website where you can learn more about the history of this iconic penitentiary, as well as read three posts I recently wrote for their blog about religion in Sing Sing Prison.

[Note that the Museum is on track to open very soon, and in the meantime is offering numerous events to the public as they complete construction on their space in Ossining’s historic Olive Opera House.]

1. Chaplains of Sing Sing – The Evolution of American Correctional Facilities and the Role of Religion in them

2. Chaplains of Sing Sing – Mr. Gerrish Barrett, Sing Sing’s First Prison Chaplain

3. The Fight for Sing Sing’s Soul – The Tenure of Reverend John Luckey, 1839-1865
