Sing Sing, the state prison at Ossining on the Hudson River north of New York City, is the setting for this glass negative, which the record titles as gunmen arriving there. That title comes from information Bain News Service noted on its negatives or caption cards and has not been independently verified, so the men's identities and the circumstances of their arrival remain uncertain. The Bain agency supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and its glass plates show how press photographers recorded events like prison arrivals for a public eager to see them.
