The Wyoming County Inmate Population
The Wyoming County inmate population has two very different meanings. The local count is the jail population at Wyoming County Jail in Warsaw, operated by the Wyoming County Sheriff's Office. The official Jail Division page says that facility holds male and female incarcerated individuals who are sentenced locally or awaiting trial, and that all people there are held under the authority of a judge or justice. It also says there are no police holds. That local point matters when a reader is trying to find someone after a fresh arrest, because the person may not be in a county jail record until the court-held jail process begins.
The physical count of incarcerated people in Wyoming County is much larger when state prisons are included. Attica Correctional Facility and Wyoming Correctional Facility are both DOCCS prisons in Attica, but neither is a county jail annex. They hold sentenced male state-prison populations from across New York. A person held at Wyoming County Jail may later become state ready and transfer to DOCCS, but a DOCCS prisoner is searched through the state locator, not through the Wyoming County jail phone line or VINE county jail path.
Wyoming County Inmate Population Statistics
The best local jail population figures in the research come from the official Wyoming County Jail Division page and the DCJS/SCOC Monthly Jail Population Trends report prepared June 1, 2026. The county page gives the jail's rated capacity. The state report gives the May 2026 average daily census and custody categories. The two DOCCS prison figures come from 2023 PREA audit reports, so they should be read as prison audit snapshots, not current county jail counts.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Year |
|---|---|---|
| Wyoming County Jail rated capacity | 81 incarcerated individuals | Wyoming County Jail Division, current page accessed June 2026 |
| Wyoming County Jail average daily census | 33 | DCJS/SCOC monthly jail population report, prepared June 1, 2026 |
| Attica CF designed capacity / audit population | 2,143 / 1,636 | DOCCS Attica facility page and June 2023 PREA audit |
| Wyoming CF designed capacity / audit population | 1,418 / 1,000 | DOCCS Wyoming CF page and June 2023 PREA audit |

Wyoming County Jail Population Trends
The Wyoming County inmate population in the county jail declined from May 2025 to May 2026, but the 13-month line was not a straight slide. DCJS/SCOC reported a May 2025 census of 38, a peak of 49 in both November and December 2025, and a May 2026 census of 33. The report marks that May-to-May change as a 13 percent decrease. Even at the 13-month high, the county jail stayed well below its rated capacity, though total capacity is not the same as usable space in each classification group.
| Month | Census | In House | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| May 2025 | 38 | 38 | Baseline month in the state report. |
| June 2025 | 43 | 44 | One person boarded in. |
| July 2025 | 48 | 49 | Near the 13-month high. |
| November 2025 | 49 | 49 | Highest month in the series. |
| December 2025 | 49 | 49 | Highest month repeated. |
| March 2026 | 36 | 36 | Spring decline begins. |
| May 2026 | 33 | 33 | Down 13 percent from May 2025. |
Who Is Counted in Wyoming County Jail
The May 2026 DCJS/SCOC categories show why a jail roster search can be confusing. The largest local group was other unsentenced incarcerated individuals. That category includes people awaiting arraignment, trial, or sentencing, plus parole violators re-arrested for a new crime. Sentenced local jail inmates made up a smaller part of the count, while state readies, technical parole violators, civil custody, and federal custody were separate fields.
| Category | May 2026 ADP | Share of in-house count |
|---|---|---|
| Other unsentenced | 21 | About 64 percent |
| Sentenced | 11 | About 33 percent |
| Technical parole violators | 2 | About 6 percent |
| State readies | 1 | About 3 percent |
| Federal and civil | 0 | 0 percent |
Note: The research did not locate a current official Wyoming County jail demographic dashboard by age, race, ethnicity, or sex.
Wyoming County Jail Capacity
With a rated capacity of 81 and a May 2026 average daily census of 33, Wyoming County Jail was at about 41 percent of rated capacity for that month. The November and December 2025 peak of 49 was about 60 percent. Those numbers are useful for the broad Wyoming County inmate population picture, but they do not prove every unit had spare space every day. Classification needs, medical separation, sex separation, court status, and security limits can affect usable beds inside any jail.
The research did not locate a recent county jail consent decree, new jail construction bond, or county jail overcrowding lawsuit in the reviewed official and high-reliability sources. The county jail page does post monthly HALT Act reporting links beginning in 2025, which gives a local trail for segregated-confinement reporting. That reporting is separate from the DCJS/SCOC monthly population report.
Laws Governing Wyoming County Jail Data
New York law gives readers a records path, but it does not make every jail detail public on demand. Public Officers Law Article 6, the Freedom of Information Law, is the main framework for agency records. Public Officers Law 87 covers access and exemptions, while Public Officers Law 89 covers response procedures, appeals, and privacy handling. For jail standards and population reporting, 9 NYCRR 7000.1 describes the State Commission of Correction role over local correctional institutions.
Key Statutes:
Public Officers Law Article 6 is New York's FOIL framework for requesting sheriff, jail, and other agency records unless an exemption applies.
Public Officers Law 87 sets the access rule for agency records and allows denial or redaction for listed reasons.
Public Officers Law 89 covers FOIL timing, appeals, and privacy issues.
9 NYCRR 7000.1 describes SCOC authority over county jail standards, inspections, and statistical reporting.
Wyoming County State Prison Population
Attica Correctional Facility and Wyoming Correctional Facility dominate the number of incarcerated people physically housed in Wyoming County. Their combined 2023 PREA audit populations were 2,636, compared with a May 2026 county jail average daily census of 33. That comparison should not be read as a county-court incarceration count. DOCCS prisons receive sentenced prisoners from across New York State, while Wyoming County Jail houses the local jail population under court authority.
| Facility | System | Lookup path | Who is held |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wyoming County Jail | County jail | VINE and jail phone fallback | Pretrial, local sentenced, state-ready, parole violator, and other court-held adults |
| Attica Correctional Facility | DOCCS state prison | DOCCS incarcerated lookup | Sentenced male state prisoners |
| Wyoming Correctional Facility | DOCCS state prison | DOCCS incarcerated lookup | Sentenced male state prisoners |
Search Wyoming County Inmates
Wyoming County does not publish a county-hosted full roster with mugshots, charge lists, housing units, and bond details in the official material reviewed. The county directs users to VINELink for custody status and victim notification. That makes VINE the first online path for current county jail custody, but not a complete booking report. If VINE does not show the person, call the Jail Division because intake may be new, the person may have been released, or the person may be in state, federal, or immigration custody.
- Open the Wyoming County VINELink page and follow its VINE link.
- Select New York if the VINE interface does not already route to the state page.
- Search by the person's legal name and narrow to Wyoming County or Wyoming County Jail if the interface offers that filter.
- Review custody status and notification options rather than expecting a full mugshot roster.
- Call Wyoming County Jail at 585-786-8808 if the person is not visible or the question involves bail, property, visitation, or mail.
The VINE search interface is the online custody-status path documented for county jail searches outside New York City.
The VINE screen is relevant because Wyoming County routes public custody-status users to VINE instead of a sheriff-hosted booking roster.
Wyoming County Custody Search Fields
The VINE interface is dynamic, so exact field labels can vary by device and workflow. The research captured the practical fields a Wyoming County jail custody search is likely to use. The key point is that VINE is name and custody-status oriented. It does not document a Wyoming County booking-number format, and it does not promise public mugshots, bond amounts, or housing units for this county.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| State / location | Dropdown or state landing selection | Usually yes | Use New York, then narrow to Wyoming County if available. |
| Name | Text | Usually yes | Use first and last legal name where available. |
| Offender ID / number | Text | Optional if known | VINE may support identifying-number searches, but no Wyoming County booking-number format was found. |
| Facility / agency | Dropdown or filter | Optional | If shown, choose Wyoming County Jail or Wyoming County, NY. |
| Register for notification | Form workflow | Optional | VINE supports phone, email, or TTY notification registration. |
Past Wyoming County Inmate Records
Released and older Wyoming County inmate records are harder to find online because the researched county path is a current custody-status and notification tool, not a public archive. For booking records, arrest paperwork, or a booking photo not provided routinely, contact the Sheriff's Office or Jail Division and use a written FOIL request if needed. A useful request names the person, gives a date of birth if known, identifies the arrest or booking date, names the record type, and says whether inspection or copies are requested.
Under statewide FOIL process guidance, an agency must acknowledge a reasonably described written request within five business days. Copies may carry the baseline per-page or actual-cost fees allowed by law. Records can also be withheld or redacted for law-enforcement, privacy, sealed-record, safety, or other statutory reasons. For the court side of a past case, WebCriminal, County Clerk channels, CHRS, and DCJS RAP-sheet paths may be more useful than the jail custody tool.
What Wyoming County Inmate Records Show
A Wyoming County VINE result is narrower than a full sheriff roster profile. It can help confirm custody status and notification options, but the official county page does not state that VINE publishes a full charge list, bond amount, housing unit, booking photo, or release paperwork. Treat VINE as the quick custody-status check, then use jail, FOIL, and court channels for deeper records.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Identifies the custody record by legal name. |
| Custody status | Shows whether custody-status information is available through VINE. |
| Agency or facility | May show the county jail or agency context. |
| Notification options | Allows phone, email, or TTY custody-status alerts. |
| Charges and bond | Not documented on the county VINE page as full public roster fields. |
| Mugshot | Not documented as published by Wyoming County or VINE in official county material. |
County Jail vs DOCCS Lookup
Wyoming County inmate lookup depends on the custody system. A person in the Warsaw jail is in local custody, usually before trial, on a local sentence, waiting on transfer, or held on another court-related basis. A sentenced state prisoner is in DOCCS custody and searched through the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision locator. A federal inmate is searched through BOP after designation, while ICE detention uses ICE's locator.
| Custody type | Where to search | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| County jail custody | New York VINE and jail phone fallback | Current Wyoming County Jail status and notifications. |
| Sentenced state prison | DOCCS incarcerated lookup | Attica, Wyoming CF, and other state prisons. |
| Federal prison | BOP inmate locator | Federal inmates from 1982 to present. |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator | Adult immigration detainees in covered ICE custody. |
Wyoming County Custody Terms
Jail and prison terms often sound alike but point to different records. These plain-language definitions help separate the local jail record from court and prison records.
- State ready
- A person sentenced to state prison but not yet transferred from county jail to DOCCS.
- Technical parole violator
- A person held on a parole warrant for alleged violations of parole conditions.
- Remand
- A court order holding the person in custody instead of releasing them.
- Detainer
- A hold from another agency that can prevent release even after local bail is addressed.
- FOIL
- New York's Freedom of Information Law process for requesting agency records.
Wyoming County Detention Facilities
The facility map has one local jail and two state prisons. The primary county inmate population page should keep those systems separate because each one answers a different search question.
- Wyoming County Jail holds pretrial, locally sentenced, state-ready, technical parole violator, and other court-held adults for the county.
- Attica Correctional Facility is a maximum-security DOCCS prison for sentenced male state prisoners.
- Wyoming Correctional Facility is a medium-security DOCCS prison for sentenced male state prisoners.
Wyoming County Inmate Population FAQ
How big is the Wyoming County inmate population?
For the local jail, DCJS/SCOC reported a May 2026 average daily census of 33 at Wyoming County Jail. For people physically incarcerated in Wyoming County, the number is much larger because Attica CF and Wyoming CF are state prisons located in the county. Their 2023 PREA audit snapshots listed 1,636 and 1,000 people, respectively.
How do I search Wyoming County inmates?
Start with Wyoming County's VINELink page and the New York VINE search path for current county jail custody. If the person does not appear, call Wyoming County Jail at 585-786-8808. Search DOCCS for sentenced state prisoners, BOP for federal prisoners, and ICE for immigration detention.
Does Wyoming County publish mugshots online?
The research did not locate an official Wyoming County online mugshot gallery or full booking-photo roster. Booking photos may exist as jail records, but access should be treated as a Sheriff's Office or Jail Division request under New York FOIL.
Can released inmates be searched?
VINE is mainly useful for current custody status and notification. For released or older booking records, contact the jail or Sheriff's Office and make a written FOIL request if routine help does not provide the record. Court case records may remain available through WebCriminal, the County Clerk, or CHRS depending on the case and sealing status.
