Greene Correctional Overview
Greene Correctional Facility is operated by the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, usually shortened to DOCCS. DOCCS identifies the prison as a medium-security facility for males. It holds sentenced adult men in state prison custody, not local defendants waiting for trial in Greene County Jail. Stephen Brandow was listed as superintendent in the research source, and the main facility phone was listed as 518-731-2741.
The facility is physically in Coxsackie, but it belongs to a different corrections system than the county jail. A person sentenced from a Greene County court to a state prison term can leave the sheriff's jail population and enter DOCCS reception, classification, and facility assignment. Once that move occurs, the county roster may no longer be the right record source. The statewide DOCCS lookup becomes the practical search tool because it follows current and certain former state-prison incarcerated individuals across New York.
This local distinction prevents a common search mistake. Greene County Jail is for local custody and uses the sheriff roster. Greene Correctional Facility is for sentenced state prison custody and uses DOCCS lookup. If the sentence or custody stage is unclear, start with the last known system and then check the other one.
Greene Correctional Lookup
The correct search for Greene Correctional Facility is the New York DOCCS incarcerated lookup portal, with official instructions at the DOCCS incarcerated lookup page. DOCCS instructions say a last name may be used alone or with birth year. DIN and NYSID are identifying numbers and should be used alone. Do not search for a Greene Correctional Facility state-prison inmate through the county jail roster unless the question is about an earlier local booking or transfer history.
The DOCCS lookup portal image below is the matched manifest source for state-prison inmate search.

The portal screenshot supports the state-prison search path for Greene Correctional Facility and should not be confused with the county sheriff roster.
- Open the DOCCS incarcerated lookup portal, not the Greene County Sheriff's Office roster.
- Search by last name, with birth year if needed, or search by DIN or NYSID alone.
- Open the matching record and confirm the current facility is Greene Correctional Facility or another DOCCS site.
- Use the DOCCS profile details for state custody status, sentence-related information, and facility placement.
- If no DOCCS result appears, check spelling, former names, release status, county jail custody, federal custody, or ICE custody.
| DOCCS Field | Search Use | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Last Name | Name search | May be used alone or with birth year. |
| Birth Year | Narrowing field | Optional when searching by name. |
| DIN | Exact number search | Use alone. |
| NYSID | Exact number search | Use alone. |
| Current Facility | Placement check | Confirms whether the person is at Greene Correctional Facility. |
Greene Correctional Contact
Use the DOCCS facility contact for state-prison visitation, prison mail, package rules, phone questions, facility-specific status issues, and program questions. County jail staff cannot manage DOCCS visitation or prison account rules. Likewise, DOCCS staff should not be asked to confirm a current Greene County Jail booking unless the person has been transferred into state custody.

Greene Correctional Visits
Greene Correctional Facility follows DOCCS state-prison visiting rules and the facility-specific schedule, not county jail visiting practices. Research located a schedule effective January 1, 2026. General population visiting days are weekends, with hours from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM. The earliest arrival time is 7:30 AM, and the latest arrival time is 2:00 PM. SHU/RRU incarcerated individuals are allowed one non-legal visit within a seven-day period, with the week beginning Saturday and ending Friday.
Visitors should also use the DOCCS visitor information page for statewide rules on approval, identification, conduct, clothing, children, packages, and facility procedures. The research notes a maximum of one visit per day and three visitors plus one child under age five sitting on an adult's lap. Overcrowding rules first seek volunteers to end visits, then may end local visits after three hours by first-in, first-out order, then visits from more than 100 miles away after three hours if needed.
| Day / Item | Hours or Limit | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Saturday | 9:00 AM-3:30 PM | General population visits |
| Sunday | 9:00 AM-3:30 PM | General population visits |
| Arrival window | 7:30 AM-2:00 PM | General population check-in window |
| Saturday SHU/RRU | 5:00 PM-9:00 PM; latest arrival 7:30 PM | One non-legal visit per seven-day period |
| Visitors | Three visitors plus one child under five on lap | Facility limit listed in research |
Note: Confirm DOCCS approval, DIN schedule, and visit status before traveling to Greene Correctional Facility.
Greene Correctional Mail
Mail, money, phone, packages, and visitor rules at Greene Correctional Facility are DOCCS rules. The facility page gives the incarcerated individual mail address as P.O. Box 975 in Coxsackie. Use the person's full name and identifying information in the format DOCCS requires, and check statewide correspondence rules before sending books, photos, printed material, or legal mail. The research did not provide a facility-specific deposit fee table, so do not rely on county jail commissary instructions for state-prison deposits.
| Service | Provider / Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail Address | Incarcerated individual mail: P.O. Box 975, Coxsackie, NY 12051-0975. |
| Phone | Use DOCCS statewide prison phone rules and any current account provider instructions. |
| Money Deposit | Use DOCCS statewide money rules; no Greene-specific deposit fee was sourced in the research. |
| Packages | Use DOCCS package and correspondence rules, not county jail commissary pages. |
County jail bail money is also separate. Greene County Sheriff's Office annual reporting mentioned GovPayNet bail activity for the local jail, but bail payment is not the way state-prison account deposits are handled after a person is in DOCCS custody.
Greene Correctional Population
The current DOCCS facility page identified Greene Correctional Facility as a medium-security male prison, but the research did not locate a current capacity figure on that page. Because the assigned sources did not provide a sourced current population number for this specific prison, no capacity or current-population stat block is used here. The confirmed population detail is custody type: sentenced adult males in New York state prison custody.
This differs from the Greene County Jail statistics. Local jail data in the research included an 80-person designed capacity and a May 2026 average daily census for Greene County Jail. Those figures do not describe Greene Correctional Facility. A reader comparing custody systems should use county jail population reports for sheriff custody and DOCCS reports or open data for current state-prison population counts.
| Custody System | Facility | Lookup |
|---|---|---|
| County jail | Greene County Jail | Sheriff roster for pretrial, local sentences, and local holds. |
| State prison | Greene Correctional Facility | DOCCS lookup for sentenced state-prison incarcerated individuals. |
| Federal custody | No BOP prison found in Greene County | BOP locator for federal sentenced inmates. |
| Immigration custody | No ICE detention facility found in Greene County | ICE locator for eligible ICE custody searches. |
Greene Correctional Intake
State-prison intake is not street-arrest booking. A person is usually arrested, booked, and held through local channels first. If a court sentence or other legal order sends the person to DOCCS, the person moves from local jail custody into state prison processing. DOCCS then handles classification, facility placement, records, programs, and custody status. The DCJS/SCOC jail population report category "State Readies" captures people in local jail who are waiting for transfer to state prison.
For Greene County cases, this means a person may first appear on the Greene County Jail roster and later disappear from that roster after transfer. The next search should be DOCCS. Formal court records remain separate from both lookup systems, and county jail booking photos are not the same thing as DOCCS custody records. For current local booking details, use the sheriff roster. For state custody after sentence, use the DOCCS locator.

- New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, the state prison agency.
- DIN
- Department Identification Number used for an exact DOCCS search.
- NYSID
- New York State Identification Number used in criminal justice records.
- Classification
- The state-prison review that helps determine custody level, placement, programs, and restrictions.
Greene Correctional Programs
DOCCS listed a broad program set for Greene Correctional Facility. Programs in the research included alcohol and substance abuse treatment, anger management, educational and vocational programs, family development, guidance and counseling, library and law library, recreation, religious services, sex offender treatment, temporary release, trauma programs, transitional services, veterans services, and volunteer services. Program access depends on DOCCS rules, individual eligibility, custody status, and facility operations.
The facility page also linked PREA audit reports, including Cycle 4 dated August 1, 2025, plus reports from July 19, 2022, September 2020, and May 17, 2017. PREA refers to the Prison Rape Elimination Act, a federal law tied to sexual safety standards and audit processes in correctional settings. The audit links are facility-specific official sources, but they do not replace direct DOCCS contact for a current custody or visit question.
- Substance abuse and anger management programming.
- Education, vocational, library, and law library services.
- Family development, counseling, trauma, and transitional services.
- Religious, recreation, veterans, volunteer, and temporary release programs.
Note: Program eligibility and placement can change, so confirm current rules with DOCCS or facility staff.
