Missing Him — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 06:33:41 GMT

I'm fairly new to the whole visitng thing cause my man just got to his home prison and it was kind of hard trying to go see him while they had hime bouncing around but i just went to the prisons web site and they break down pretty much everything you need to know and how to go about visiting.. All my man had to do was give them some basic information about me like my name and birthdate i believe and they put me on the list. The rest of the info like visiting times, days of the week, whats exceptable and everything else i got from the website.

I took a moment and search the web about this for you and i couldn't find direct information for you but i did get the telephone number and everything and the directive number.. I hope i helps (if you already had it i'm sorry i couldn't help you out more)

Inmate Information

Inmate Lookup

Computerized inmate information is available from the Inmate Lookup capability which is generally available 24 hours a day except for a 10-15 minute period every night at 11:00pm (Eastern time zone). This brief outage is needed to allow necessary maintenance activities.

In addition, the Inmate Lookup is unavailable from midnight Saturday to approximately 3:30am Sunday (Eastern time zone) due to scheduled server maintenance.

Note - Executive Law Section 296(15) and Correction Law Section 752 in pertinent part provide that no application for any license or employment shall be denied by reason of the applicant's having previously been convicted of one or more criminal offenses unless:

there is a direct relationship between one or more of the previous criminal offenses and the specific license or employment sought; or
the issuance of the license or the granting of the employment would involve an unreasonable risk to property or to the safety or welfare of specific individuals or the general public.

Sending Mail to Inmates

Mail for inmates should be sent to the mailing address found in the list of state correctional facilities. The first line of the address on the envelope should contain the inmate's name and Department Identification Number(DIN). Rules governing exchange of correspondence between an inmate and another person or business are set forth in Departmental Directive #4422

Packages for Inmates

Most inmates are allowed to receive packages by mail or from visitors. Rules governing receipt and processing of packages are set forth in Departmental Directive #4911 .

Visiting Inmates

Most inmates are allowed to participate in the Inmate Visitor Program which gives inmates opportunities for personal contact with friends and relatives. Directive #4403

provides guidance for Department staff, inmates, and visitors to correctional facilities under the jurisdiction of the Department of Correctional Services.

Telephone Calls from Inmates

The Department operates a telephone system for inmates as one of the modes by which they may maintain contact with family and friends at home. This system provides a controlled list of up to fifteen phone numbers accessible to each inmate which, at most locations, can be self-dialed at telephones in housing units.

Requesting Inmate Location information by telephone

For information on the location of a NYS prison inmate, call 518-457-5000 during normal business hours. (Due to the large volume of requests, callers may experience slight delays.) Before contacting us by telephone, you may want to utilize the Inmate Lookup listed above to obtain available information regarding inmates.
