It is operated by the New York State Department of Correctional Services. Sullivan is located on an 850-acre (3.4 km2) stretch of land that also contains Woodbourne Correctional Facility, a medium-security prison.

While most authorities set a threshold of three murders, others extend it to four or lessen it to two.
