Sing Sing Prison Visitation

The September 15th visitation is at full capacity. If you are interested in future Sing Sing Prison visits, please reach out to Beth Ralston to reserve a future spot at bralston@stmarksnewcanaan.org or call the Church Office at 203.966.4515.

The Frederick Douglass Project for Justice seeks to change the public’s perception of the criminal justice system by becoming proximate with the humanity of incarcerated people. The program operates across multiple states, offering powerful, face-to-face conversations between visitors and those incarcerated. These visits go beyond observation—they are opportunities to listen, connect, and reflect in a way that fosters true understanding.

We have 15 spots reserved for St. Mark’s to visit the Sing Sing Correctional Facility on Tuesday, September 15, from 12;30-4PM.

Sing Sing Correctional Facility is located at 354 Hunter Street, Ossining, NY. The prison is built into the hillside along the Hudson River, adjacent to the Metro-North railroad tracks.

During the visit, you will have the opportunity to interact directly with incarcerated individuals. Please follow the directions of staff at all times. To help make this a meaningful experience for everyone, we ask that you:

• Listen with an open heart.
• Make eye contact.
• Remember that everyone has something to teach and something to learn.
• Treat every person with dignity and respect.

Immediately following the visit, you are invited to a debrief and social time at a nearby restaurant. If your schedule allows, we encourage you to stay. It is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the experience, learn more about the Frederick Douglass Project, and get to know members of the leadership team. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.
