Attica Correctional Facility is a maximum security prison campus in the Town of Attica, New York,<ref>"Facility Listing Template:Webarchive." New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision. Retrieved on July 2, 2010. "Attica Correctional Facility 639 Exchange St Attica, New York 14011-0149."</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> operated by the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision. It was constructed in the 1930s in response to earlier riots within the New York state prisons.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

A CS gas system (chlorobenzylidine malononitrile) installed in the mess hall and industry areas has been used to quell conflicts in these areas. The prison now holds numerous inmates who are serving various types of sentences (short-term to life). They are often sent to this facility because of disciplinary problems in other facilities.<ref name="auto">See Attica Prison riot</ref> The prison is a maximum security facility.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

In 1984, immediately adjacent to the Attica prison, the construction of the Wyoming Correctional Facility was completed. The Wyoming prison is a medium security facility.

RebellionEdit

{{#invoke:Labelled list hatnote|labelledList|Main article|Main articles|Main page|Main pages}} Attica was the site of a prison uprising in September 1971 in which inmates took control of the prison for several days. They were seeking to negotiate to improve conditions and treatment at the overcrowded prison. The uprising and subsequent retaking of the prison by the state resulted in 43 deaths and over 89 injuries. Police killed 39 people, ten of which included correctional officers and civilian employees who had been taken hostage.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Three prisoners were killed by other inmates and one guard died later from injuries sustained during the initial uprising.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
