Attica Correctional Facility

The Attica Correctional Facility is a penitentiary in the Town of Attica, New York,[1][2] operated by the New York State Department of Correctional Services. After it was constructed in the 1930s, it held many of the most dangerous criminals of the time. A tear gas system is installed in the mess hall and industry areas and has been used to quell conflicts in these areas. The prison now holds many inmates who are serving various types of sentences (short-term to life sentences), and who are usually sent to the facility because of disciplinary problems in other facilities.

Riots

Attica was the site of a prison riot in 1971 which resulted in 39 deaths,of which 29 were inmates and 10 were correctional officers held hostage. They died by gunfire from state troopers and guards.
