The last I knew, Sing Sing Prison is intake for all recent New York City inmates.

Even federal cases? Seems a bit unlikely, but I don't know.

(from the article) :" He will have to surrender to his designated facility by Nov. 6 —
his lawyer put in a request for Schuylkill Federal Correctional Facility in Pennsylvania, or another low-security prison near New York."

The judges order will have standing, and counts towards assignment following Federal 'intake' proceures.
It should be noted that the request from Weiner's attorney was for Schuylkill Federal Correctional Facility.
Actually, the attorneys request is just that- a request.
Sing Sing is only for New York State Courts inmate intake; not applicable with the Federal convition.
