Wyoming County Jail Overview
Wyoming County Jail is operated by the Wyoming County Sheriff's Office through the Jail Division. It is the county's primary local detention facility, not a state prison and not a federal holding center. The official county page says the jail houses male and female incarcerated individuals who are sentenced locally or awaiting trial. It also says every person held there is under the authority of a judge or justice, and that there are no police holds. That point matters for a Wyoming County inmate search because a person who has not been committed to the jail may not appear in VINE.
The jail sits within the same Warsaw public-safety complex used by the Sheriff's Office. The county page says the facility became operational on January 6, 1992, and names Michael Horton as Jail Administrator. It is one of five divisions under the Sheriff's direction. The Jail Division page lists four shift sergeants, twenty-eight full-time correction officers, and nine part-time correction officers. Services listed by the county include commissary, educational opportunities, legal and general library access, life-skill programs, medical services, mental-health services, visitation, work programs, and chaplain services.
The official Jail Division page is the source for the facility capacity, administrator, services, and HALT Act reporting links. The screenshot below shows the county jail page used for those local facts.
That official jail page is the best local source for facility-level details, while VINE is the custody-status path for current jail lookup.
Wyoming County Jail Population
The county jail has a rated capacity of 81 incarcerated individuals, according to the official Jail Division page. The DCJS/SCOC Monthly Jail Population Trends report prepared June 1, 2026 reported a May 2026 average daily census of 33 for Wyoming County Jail. The same report listed 33 in-house people, 11 sentenced, 2 technical parole violators, 1 state-ready person awaiting transfer, 21 other unsentenced people, and 0 federal or civil detainees for that month.
Those figures show a local jail population that is much smaller than the sentenced state-prison population housed elsewhere in Wyoming County. Attica Correctional Facility and Wyoming Correctional Facility are physically in the county, but their prisoners are in DOCCS custody and may come from across New York. The jail count is the local Warsaw jail count. The prison count is a state count.
Lookup Wyoming County Jail Inmates
Wyoming County does not publish a county-hosted full roster with mugshots, housing, charge lists, and bond fields in the researched official material. The county directs custody-status users to Wyoming County VINELink, and New York's county-jail locator path uses VINE outside New York City. VINE is useful for current custody status and notifications, but it is not the same thing as a full booking report. If the record does not appear, call the Jail Division before assuming the person is not in custody.
- Open the county's VINELink page or the VINE search interface.
- Select New York if the portal does not already route there, then search by the person's name.
- Narrow to Wyoming County or Wyoming County Jail if the current interface offers an agency or facility filter.
- Review custody status and notification options, then save the result details before calling the jail.
- If VINE does not show the person, call 585-786-8808 because intake, release, transfer, state custody, or federal custody may explain the gap.
| Lookup Path | Use It For | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| VINE | Current Wyoming County Jail custody status and notifications | Not a full mugshot or booking-charge roster |
| Jail phone | Custody, bail, intake, and record-routing questions | Staff may not release protected details by phone |
| FOIL request | Non-routine jail records, booking records, or photo requests | Records may be redacted or denied under state law |
| DOCCS lookup | Sentenced state prisoners after transfer | Does not cover county jail detainees |
Wyoming County Jail Contact
Use the Jail Division line for jail-specific custody, visit, account, phone, and bail questions. Use the Sheriff's Office main line when the question needs routing to another sheriff unit. For written record requests, use the same North Main Street public-safety address unless the county provides a more specific destination for the record type.

Wyoming County Jail Visits
The county's visitation information does not publish a day-by-day public schedule in the researched page text. It does give detailed visit rules. Each incarcerated individual may have up to two visitors at a time. Visitors under 18 must be with a parent or legal guardian. One visit per day is allowed, each visit may last up to one hour, and the weekly maximum is two visits per incarcerated individual.
| Rule | Wyoming County Jail Detail |
|---|---|
| Visitors at one time | Up to two visitors |
| Minor visitors | Must be with a parent or legal guardian |
| Daily limit | One visit per incarcerated individual |
| Visit length | Up to one hour |
| Weekly limit | Maximum two visits per week |
| Visit type | Contact visits unless the Jail Administrator limits a visit for safety, security, or order |
Visits occur in the designated visiting room. The county rules allow one brief embrace or kiss at the start and end of a visit. Prolonged embraces, fondling, profanity, and loud talking are prohibited. Children cannot go to the incarcerated person's side of the visiting room, and visits outside the jail are not permitted.
The official Wyoming County visitation page should be checked before travel because a visit can be restricted, suspended, or changed for safety and order.
The county visitation page is also the source for the contact-visit rule and the one-hour visit limit.
Wyoming County Jail Mail and Money
The county's mail and packages page lists allowed items and states that incoming mail and packages are subject to correctional staff search. Allowed property includes limited white socks, white tee-shirts, white underwear, court clothes and legal paperwork, non-Polaroid pictures, recreational clothing that meets strict clothing rules, and religious medallions. Stationery and personal hygiene items must be bought through commissary.
| Money or Mail Item | Documented Rule |
|---|---|
| Lobby kiosk | Access Corrections kiosk in the Public Safety Building lobby, available 24/7 |
| Accepted kiosk tender | Cash, credit cards, and debit cards |
| Cash denominations | $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 |
| Daily deposit limit | $300 |
| Convenience fee | $4, deducted from cash deposits or added to card deposits |
| Required ID data | Prisoner Control Number, or full name and date of birth |
| Mail money | Cash, money orders, and bank-certified checks in U.S. funds accepted; personal checks not accepted |
The accounts page says kiosk funds typically credit within one hour and a receipt prints at the kiosk. The county also links to Access Corrections for online deposits. Because VINE may lag intake or release events, confirm the person is still housed at Wyoming County Jail before sending money.
Wyoming County Jail Phone and Records
Telephone service is handled through a third-party vendor, according to the county's telephone services page. The setup number for receiving collect calls is 1-800-483-8314. The county says the jail is not responsible for account balances, call connectivity, or vendor customer service. No video-visit vendor or video schedule was documented in the researched county pages, so do not treat video visits as an established Wyoming County Jail option unless the jail confirms it.
Bail can be paid at the jail 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, under the county's bail and bond information. The page says valid ID is required, cash, credit card, and debit card may be accepted, and credit-card payments may include a fee. It also says bond arrangements must be made through a New York State licensed bail bond agent.
For detailed booking records, mugshots, or older jail records not shown in VINE, use the Wyoming County Sheriff's Office or Jail Division contact channels and, when needed, a written request under New York FOIL. Public Officers Law Article 6 is the statewide records framework. A written request should identify the person, date of birth if known, booking or arrest date, and the exact record requested. The broader Wyoming County jail records page explains how VINE, phone contact, and records requests fit together.
Note: Confirm custody with the jail before a visit, deposit, or bail trip because intake, release, and transfer timing can change quickly.
Wyoming County Jail Programs
Wyoming County Jail publishes a broad service list rather than a named program catalog. The official list includes commissary, education, library access, life-skill programs, medical services, mental-health services, visitation, work programs, and chaplain services. That language supports a local facility profile, but it should not be expanded into specific GED, vocational, reentry, or treatment names that the county did not publish.
The jail also posts HALT Act monthly reporting links on its Jail Division page. Those reports are a local transparency trail for segregated-confinement-related reporting, but the researched material did not require quoting each monthly report. For a current conditions concern, contact the Jail Division and use the New York State Commission of Correction standards context when a formal complaint or records path is needed.
