Greene County Inmate Population Overview
The Greene County inmate population is centered on the Greene County Jail, a sheriff-operated local jail at the new Coxsackie sheriff's complex, plus Greene Correctional Facility, a state prison operated by New York DOCCS. These two facilities should not be combined as one search system. The jail holds pretrial defendants, people serving local jail sentences of one year or less, state-ready transfer holds, technical parole violators, and other local custody. Greene Correctional Facility holds sentenced adult males in state prison custody.
Population figures come from different official sources. The Greene County Sheriff's Office 2024 annual report gives annual jail admissions and daily population measures. The DCJS/SCOC jail population report prepared June 1, 2026 gives recent monthly jail census categories. The county police reform plan gives the new jail's capacity. Those sources show a small jail population compared with design capacity, while also showing a local boarding issue because female inmates were boarded to Columbia and Ulster county jails in 2024.
Greene County Inmate Population Statistics
The headline Greene County inmate population numbers are well sourced. The county reform plan described the new jail as accommodating up to 80 persons. The 2024 sheriff's annual report reported 221 adult inmates received, an average daily population of 32, a high of 41, and a low of 31. The DCJS/SCOC report prepared June 1, 2026 listed a May 2026 census of 37, with 35 in house, 3 boarded out, and 2 boarded in.

Greene County Jail Population Trends
The multi-year Greene County inmate population trend is downward in the annual report table, but not in a straight line. Total inmates received fell from 323 in 2022 to 216 in 2023, then rose slightly to 221 in 2024. Average daily population moved from 38 to 36 to 32 across the same years. The high daily population stayed in a narrow range, from 43 in 2022 to 45 in 2023 and 41 in 2024.
| Year | Total Inmates Received | Average Daily Population | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 323 | 38 | New jail already in use; high daily population 43. |
| 2023 | 216 | 36 | Boarding costs included Ulster and Columbia county jails. |
| 2024 | 221 | 32 | Female inmates boarded to Columbia and Ulster; average 9 boarded out per day. |
Recent monthly DCJS/SCOC data shows a small but active custody count. From May 2025 through May 2026, the census ranged from 29 to 42. The May 2026 report listed 24 people as other unsentenced, 7 sentenced, 3 state readies, 1 civil, and no technical parole violators. That mix fits the local jail role: most people are there before final case disposition or while awaiting a short-term local or transfer outcome.
Greene County Inmate Population Makeup
The 2024 sheriff's annual report gives admissions by sex, ethnicity, race, and admitting agency. Of 221 adults received, 188 were male and 33 were female. The report counted 17 Hispanic male admissions and 2 Hispanic female admissions. Race admissions were listed as 161 White, 47 Black, 3 Asian, 2 American Indian, and 8 Other. These are admissions counts, not an end-of-day census, so they describe who entered the jail during the year rather than who was held on one date.
- Pretrial and other unsentenced custody made up the largest May 2026 category in the DCJS/SCOC report.
- Female boarding was a major local detail in 2024, with women boarded to Columbia and Ulster county jails.
- State-ready holds appeared in the May 2026 report, which means some people were waiting for state prison transfer.
- Admitting agencies included New York State Police, Greene County Sheriff's Office, Catskill Police Department, parole, probation, and smaller local agencies.
Greene County Jail Capacity
Greene County's current jail began housing inmates in September 2021, according to the sheriff's annual report. The county reform plan described the new jail as built to accommodate up to 80 persons. Compared with the 2024 average daily population of 32, the average was about 40 percent of that design capacity. May 2026 census data was also below the design figure. No current DOJ consent decree or verified 2024-2026 county jail lawsuit was found in the official-source research.
Capacity still needs context. The 2024 annual report said female inmates were boarded to Columbia and Ulster county jails, with an average of 9 boarded out per day and $116,550 paid to Ulster County that year. That means a Greene County custody search may involve a person legally held for Greene County but physically outside the Coxsackie jail.
Laws for Greene County Inmate Data
New York law shapes access to Greene County inmate population data, booking records, and jail oversight records. FOIL is the general public-records process for state and local agencies, but exemptions can apply to sealed records, youth records, safety-sensitive details, active investigations, medical material, and privacy-protected information. Jail standards and classification are overseen in part through the State Commission of Correction framework.
Key Statutes:
Public Officers Law Article 6 is New York's Freedom of Information Law for agency records.
Public Officers Law Section 87 requires agencies to make records available unless an exemption applies.
Public Officers Law Section 89 covers request procedures, denials, appeals, and privacy limits.
Correction Law Section 45 sets State Commission of Correction oversight powers and duties.
Correction Law Section 500-b addresses local correctional facility housing and classification rules.
Greene County State Prison Population
Greene Correctional Facility is physically in Greene County, but it is a state prison, not a county jail. DOCCS identifies it as a medium-security male facility. Its population is searched through the statewide DOCCS incarcerated lookup by last name, birth year, DIN, or NYSID, depending on what information is known. A person sentenced from a Greene County case may leave the county jail system and enter the state prison system after classification or transfer.
This separation is central to any Greene County inmate search. The sheriff roster may show someone before trial or while serving a local jail sentence. The DOCCS lookup is the correct channel after a state prison commitment. VINE can help with custody notifications, but VINE does not replace court records or the DOCCS locator.
Search Greene County Inmates
The current Greene County inmate population is searched first through the sheriff's official roster. The roster has a Type to Search box, current inmate cards, photos, View Charges, VINELink status notification, and pagination. It did not require login or payment during inspection. Because the roster has a single text field, use name variations and follow up by phone when a custody answer must be exact.
- Open the official Greene County inmate search.
- Enter the last name in the Type to Search box, then try first name or partial spelling when needed.
- Open the inmate card or View Charges link for the full public profile.
- Check booking date, custody status, charges, bond type, and the reporting agency phone.
- If no result appears, call the jail, check DOCCS, or use federal and ICE locators based on the case.
Greene County Current Inmate Lookup
The official roster focuses on current custody. A sample profile inspected in June 2026 showed site and agency data tied to VINE, including NYSWVINE, NYGREENESO, and a holding facility code of NYGREENEJA. It showed custody status as IN, a custody status date, a booked date, a public mugshot, physical descriptors, reporting agency contact, and charge entries. It did not show a public housing unit, full date of birth, court date, warrant number, or projected release date.
The screenshot below is from the official Greene County inmate search page captured for this project.
The roster display supports current custody research, but it should be paired with jail phone confirmation or court records when the question involves release, next appearance, or formal case status.
| Roster Control | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Type to Search | Text / live filter | Free-text filter on the current roster list. |
| Name or card | Clickable result | Opens an individual profile. |
| View Charges | Action link | Shows charge detail for the selected person. |
| Notify Me of Status Change | VINE link | Routes to VINELink notification. |
Past Greene County Inmate Records
Released-inmate retention was not posted on the sheriff roster. For a past booking, use a focused FOIL request through the Greene County Attorney/Freedom of Information Law Officer. The county form is recommended but not mandatory. It asks the requester to describe the records sought and includes contact fields. For a useful request, include the person's name, date of arrest or booking, arresting agency if known, and the records sought, such as booking record, booking photograph, or jail log entry.
Past custody and court history may require more than one office. The jail can confirm custody channels. The court clerk or WebCriminal can help with pending criminal appearances. NY Courts CHRS provides a statewide criminal-history search for $95 using exact name and date of birth. CHRS is separate from the county jail roster and should not be treated as a jail lookup.
Greene County Inmate Record Fields
Greene County inmate records on the public profile are useful, but limited. They identify the person, show basic booking and custody details, and list charges as fed to the roster. They do not certify conviction, dismissal, or final sentence. A charge on the jail roster can change after prosecutor review or court action.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name / title | Last name, first name, middle initial, or display name. |
| Booking photo | One current public image on card or profile. |
| Booked date | Date and time of jail booking when shown. |
| Custody status | Status code and status date, such as IN in the sample. |
| Charges | Charge code, description, date, and sometimes bond or disposition fields. |
| Reporting agency | Greene County Sheriff's Office contact and jail address. |
County Jail or State Prison
The most common Greene County inmate lookup mistake is searching the wrong custody system. County jail custody belongs to the sheriff. State prison custody belongs to DOCCS. Federal and immigration custody use still other systems. The difference often turns on whether the person is newly arrested, awaiting trial, serving a short local sentence, waiting for state transfer, or already serving a state prison sentence.
| Greene County Jail | New York DOCCS | |
|---|---|---|
| Who is held | Pretrial defendants, short local sentences, local holds | Sentenced state prisoners |
| Run by | Greene County Sheriff's Office | New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision |
| Where to look | Sheriff inmate roster and jail phone | Statewide DOCCS incarcerated lookup |
| Local facility | Greene County Jail in Coxsackie | Greene Correctional Facility in Coxsackie |
State Federal ICE Search
State, federal, and ICE custody channels fill gaps that the Greene County roster cannot cover. DOCCS instructs users to search by last name alone or with birth year, or to use DIN or NYSID alone. BOP supports federal inmate searches by name or number and covers federal inmates from 1982 to the present. ICE can be searched by A-number or by name, country of birth, and birth date. None of these locators is a county mugshot archive.
- State ready
- A person in local jail custody awaiting transfer to state prison after a state sentence.
- Detainer
- A hold from another agency that can block release even after local bail is addressed.
- DOCCS
- New York's Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, which runs state prisons.
- VINE
- A custody notification system linked from Greene County roster cards.
Greene County Detention Facilities
The Greene County inmate population page set includes the two facilities identified in the facility map. The primary jail appears first because it is the local custody search target. The state prison appears second because it is physically in Greene County but uses DOCCS records.
- Greene County Jail is the sheriff-operated county jail for pretrial defendants, short sentences, state-ready holds, and local custody.
- Greene Correctional Facility is a medium-security DOCCS prison for sentenced adult males and is searched through DOCCS.
Greene County Inmate Population FAQ
How large is the Greene County inmate population?
The 2024 sheriff's annual report listed a jail average daily population of 32, with a high of 41 and a low of 31. The DCJS/SCOC report prepared June 1, 2026 listed a May 2026 census of 37.
How do I search the Greene County inmate population?
Start with the official sheriff inmate roster for current county jail custody. If there is no hit, call the jail, use FOIL for older booking records, or search DOCCS, BOP, and ICE depending on custody stage.
Are Greene County jail mugshots online?
Current roster cards and profiles showed booking photos during research. No official recent-bookings archive or historical mugshot gallery was found, so older photos require a records request and may be denied or redacted under FOIL limits.
Does Greene Correctional Facility use the county roster?
No. Greene Correctional Facility is a DOCCS state prison. Use the New York DOCCS incarcerated lookup for sentenced state prisoners.
