    Was cool to see Sing Sing Prison. I grew up in Ossining where it’s located. I had family that worked there, knew people who spent time there, and even had a good friend who was guard working at one of the towers beside the warden’s home. The prison warden –who was a customer of the local newspaper I delivered in my teens back in the early 80s– gave good Christmas tips.
