Show Sing Sing to Be Removed. Sing Sing prison is to be removed across the Hudson river 15 or 20 miles northward, just eight miles south of West Point, where a large tract of land has been purchased and a gang of several hundred convicts has been working for two years. The present prison was also built by convicts in 1S26, with material found on the grounds, but, although it has been enlarged every few years, and is now one of the largest penitentiaries in the world, it is not large enough. |
