- catalog abstract ""From 1891 to 1963, New York's infamous Sing Sing was the site of 614 legal executions carried out by the state. More people were executed there than at any other American prison, yet Sing Sing's death house was, to a remarkable extent, one of the most closed, secret, and mythologized places in modern America. It also served as the prototype for modern prison-based capital punishment. In this book, based on recently revealed archival materials, Scott Christianson takes us on a tour of Sing Sing's legendary death house, and introduces us to those whose lives were claimed in its electric chair."--Jacket.".
