Background

The Eastern Correctional Facility is a New York state prison for men in Napanoch, Ulster County. Its imposing main building, with medieval-style turrets and long green copper roof, was designed by architect John Rochester Thomas. Operated by New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, Eastern has been a maximum security prison for men since 1973. The correctional facility is one of the oldest in the state. At various times the facility was designated as the "Institute for Defective and Delinquent Men at Napanoch", "State Institution for Male Defective Delinquents", and the "Catskill Reformatory".
