County Jail or DOCCS?
County pages answer local custody questions. DOCCS answers sentenced state-prison questions. A person may move from county custody to DOCCS after sentencing and transfer. When that happens, the county page may show a release or transfer, while the DOCCS locator becomes the better current custody source.
The DOCCS incarcerated lookup page is the state-prison search source.
Use DOCCS for state sentences and the county table below for local jail rosters.
County Arrest Court Routing
The county selected for jail custody often points to the court system that handles the case after arrest. Jail records answer custody questions, while court portals answer appearance, charge, and disposition questions.
The New York WebCriminal portal is the statewide source for selected future criminal appearances.
Use the county directory for local jail routing and the court portal or clerk for the case that follows the booking.
