Sing Sing Correctional Facility is located in Ossining, NY. People used to pronounce it Osingsing, NY. You also have to sing in there a lot and I mean A LOT!

Ossining's former name, "Sing Sing," was derived from the name of a Native American tribe, "Sinck Sinck" (or "Sint Sinck"), from whom the land was purchased in 1685.
