Bridge of Sighs nickname an overpass connecting the New York City jail with the criminal court building US A borrowing from Venice’s Ponte de Sospiri, romanticised by Lord Byron.- He walked me down this long dark corridor and then into a narrower corridor. Now I knew were I was. This was the Bridge of Sighs that led from the court building high up over the street into the old Tombs. — Rocky Garciano (with Rowland Barber), Somebody Up There Likes Me, p. 105, 1955
- Few lawyers alive today remember the old court house or the grey granite, twin-peaked Tombs and the famous “Bridge of Sighs” that rose over Franklin Street to connect the two buildings. — New York Law Journal, p. S-14, 6 May 1991
