Ancestry.com has “New York, Sing Sing Prison Admission Registers, 1865-1939” as “recently added database.” It is probably more accurate to refer to it as a database that I recently noticed.
There are significant biographical details on the prisoners included in this database. The content does vary over time, but ages, place of birth, aliases, names of relatives, occupation, crime committed, physical, description and more are included.
Please read the description of the database before searching if you are unfamiliar with these records.
