Preferred term

Elmira Reformatory  

Definition

  • “Elmira” conjures up both the best and the worst of prison history in the United States. Though it is most commonly known for the reformatory that bore its name, Elmira, New York, was originally a prison opened to contain Confederate prisoners of war during the Civil War.
