Two Prisoners Found Dead at New York’s Sing Sing as Prison Guards Continue Wildcat Strike

HeadlineFeb 28, 2025

Here in New York, two men were pronounced dead just hours apart Wednesday at a maximum-security prison in Westchester County as a wildcat strike by guards across dozens of prisons in the state continues for a second week. Anthony Douglas, who was 67, and 35-year-old Franklyn Dominguez, were both found unresponsive in their cells inside the Sing Sing Correctional Facility.

Their death comes days after 61-year-old Jonathan Grant was also found dead at another prison, where guards have walked off the job. Click here to see our recent interview on the strike with Jose Saldaña, director of Release Aging People in Prison.
