Preferred term

Attica  

Definition

  • Attica Correctional Facility, a maximum-security state prison for male inmates, is located in rural upstate New York, not far from the city of Buffalo. Opened in 1931, Attica is best known for the September 1971 riot that resulted in the death of three prisoners and one correctional officer, and more important for the forcible retaking of the prison in which state law enforcement officers caused the deaths of 10 employee hostages—6 of whom were correctional officers—and 29 inmates.
