Search Greene County Jail Inmates

Greene County Jail Overview

Greene County Jail, also listed in county sources as the Greene County Corrections Office, is operated by the Greene County Sheriff's Office. It is a county jail, not a state prison. That distinction controls the search path, the visit rules, and the kind of inmate record a family member should expect to find. Local jail custody includes people held before trial, people sentenced locally to one year or less, technical parole violator holds, state-ready transfer holds, and other unsentenced custody. The sheriff roster sample also showed the holding facility code NYGREENEJA, which fits the jail's role as the county-level facility.

The jail sits in Coxsackie, while many Greene County court and records offices are in Catskill. That split matters. Jail visitation, custody status, inmate mail, and roster follow-up are tied to the Coxsackie jail. Court files, FOIL records routing, the district attorney, probation, and the county clerk are separate Catskill-area offices. A person may appear on the sheriff roster while a court case is moving through a town court or county court, but the roster is still a custody record, not the full court file.

The public roster for current county custody is documented in the Greene County jail inmate records page, but the key point for this facility is simple: use the sheriff roster for Greene County Jail inmates. Use DOCCS only after a person has become a state-prison incarcerated individual, including placement at Greene Correctional Facility.

Greene County Jail Population

The county police reform plan said the new Greene County Jail would accommodate up to 80 persons in sheriff custody. The 2024 Greene County Sheriff's Office annual report then reported a 2024 average daily population of 32, a high of 41, and a low of 31. DCJS/SCOC jail population reporting prepared June 1, 2026 listed the Greene County Jail May 2026 average daily census at 37, with 35 in house, 3 boarded out, and 2 boarded in. Those figures show a small local jail population compared with the designed capacity, though boarding changes the practical view of who is physically inside the building.

Female inmates were a key local exception in 2024. The sheriff annual report said Greene County female inmates were boarded to Columbia and Ulster county jails, with an average of 9 inmates boarded out per day. A person can therefore be in Greene County custody and still be physically housed outside the Coxsackie jail. If the roster shows Greene County custody but a visit, phone account, or mail issue is unclear, call the jail before traveling or sending funds.

Greene County Jail Lookup

The correct online lookup for Greene County Jail is the official Greene County Sheriff's Office Inmate Search. The roster is free, public, and VINE-powered. It showed a Type to Search box, current inmate cards, booking photos, View Charges links, VINE status notification links, and Submit A Tip links during research. It did not require a login or payment. The public page did not state an update interval, so urgent custody questions should be confirmed by phone.

The official roster page is shown in the manifest image below. It is the county roster source for current Greene County Jail custody.

The roster screenshot matches the research notes: current inmate cards, a search box, charge links, photos, and VINE status options are part of the county jail lookup path.

1. Open the official sheriff roster and use Type to Search. Try last name first, then first name if the name is common.
2. Review the inmate card. A current Greene County Jail card may show a booking photo, name, View Charges, VINE notification, and tip link.
3. Open the inmate name or charge link. The sample profile showed record details, custody details, reporting agency data, charges, and an image.
4. Confirm the holding facility and custody status. The sample profile showed custody status IN and holding facility NYGREENEJA.
5. If no result appears, call 518-943-3300 or 518-943-3527, then check DOCCS, BOP, ICE, VINE, or a FOIL request as the facts require.

Greene County Jail Contact

Use the jail phone numbers for current custody, visit scheduling, jail mail questions, commissary details, and release timing. The county directory and sheriff sources list the jail/corrections office at the Coxsackie address. The sheriff's civil office is at a different Catskill address, so visitors should not assume the courthouse or county office complex is the jail lobby.

Greene County Jail Visits

The sheriff visitation material says to contact Greene County Jail at 518-943-3300 or 518-943-3527 to schedule a visit and get current visiting hours. The embedded visitation text listed weekend general-population visiting from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM, with earliest arrival at 7:30 AM and latest arrival at 2:00 PM. It also included SHU/RRU wording for Saturday evening visits. Because that language resembles DOCCS-style prison language, treat the schedule as a located source to verify, not as a reason to appear without an appointment.

The sheriff's visitation hours page is the source captured for the schedule language and phone scheduling instruction.

Before a Greene County Jail visit, confirm the appointment, visitor limit, ID rule, dress code, child rules, lockers, and arrival time directly with jail staff.

Greene County Jail Mail

Greene County Jail has official sheriff menu pages for inmate commissary and inmate phone/mail, but the research found limited visible text. The phone/mail page displayed "In development," and the commissary page was mostly image-based or sparse. That means the safest public instruction is to call the jail before sending mail, creating a phone account, or depositing funds. Ask about the person's current housing location first, especially if a female inmate has been boarded to Columbia or Ulster county custody.

The sheriff's inmate commissary page confirms the topic exists in the official jail menu, but it did not provide a complete public fee schedule during research.

Because no full vendor or fee table was visible, the page should be used as a pointer to call the jail, not as a complete deposit instruction sheet.

Greene County Jail Booking

Greene County does not publish a detailed public booking manual, so the strongest local evidence comes from the roster sample, the sheriff annual report, and New York criminal process. A typical booking starts with arrest, warrant execution, parole action, probation matter, or transfer by an admitting agency. In 2024, the jail received people from New York State Police, Greene County Sheriff's Office, Catskill Police Department, parole, probation, Cairo Police Department, Coxsackie Police Department, Hunter Police Department, and other agencies.

After transport, intake usually includes identity entry, charge entry, a booking photo, physical descriptors, property handling, medical or mental-health screening, classification, and placement. The public roster sample showed a booked date, custody status date, height, weight, gender, race, age, eye color, hair color, charges, bond type where available, and reporting agency. It did not show full date of birth, fingerprints, housing unit, property details, court date, or projected release date.

Greene Jail Distinctions

The current jail is part of a newer sheriff's complex that began housing inmates in September 2021. Greene County announced in April 2024 that the jail division received New York State Sheriffs' Association accreditation for the first time in county history. The county notice described accreditation as voluntary and tied to compliant policies, training, and daily operations. The sheriff annual report also listed correction officer training in suicide prevention, PREA, CPR/AED, de-escalation, use of force, legal updates, firearms, and related subjects.

The county accreditation notice is a matched facility image source for recent jail operations.

The accreditation item should be read as a current facility operations fact, separate from the old jail closure history noted in state materials.
