MCC NEW YORK

MCC New York stores approved visitor details in WebV, including your name, relationship, date of birth, sex, race/ethnicity, ID numbers, legal residence, phone number, and approval date. The process starts when the inmate requests a Visitor Information form for you to complete and submit. On visit day, ACES/Web Visiting logs everyone entering and exiting BOP facilities—approved visitors, staff, contractors, and volunteers. Before entry, ACES runs at minimum an NCIC check to validate your information, and you'll need to show a legal photo ID each time. Arrive early for check-in and screening, and review the facility visitation calendar for grouping rules, holiday exceptions, and reservation requirements.

Want to track a loved one's status at MCC New York? WebV pulls and displays key inmate details—name, register number, housing unit, and work detail—directly from the BOP inmate management system. Phone calls through TRUFONE are recorded, and those recordings are deleted after 180 days unless needed for legal or administrative reasons. Some scanned TRUFACS documents (including BP Form-199s) are temporary records marked "Destroy 90 days after verification." Expect all communications—phone, video, and electronic messages—to be monitored and recorded. You'll need to register with the vendor, fund your account, and provide a government-issued photo ID to sign up.

Sending mail to MCC New York? Use the exact address type the facility publishes. For freight and non-USPS parcels, send to the inmate warehouse address—not the general facility location. The facility page also lists separate addresses for correspondence and parcels directed to staff. Mail going through BOP intake gets logged in the Correspondence Tracking System (CTS), which assigns tracking numbers. Expect standard screening for contraband. Many facilities now require packages to come from approved vendors rather than directly from family or friends. Digital letter and photo submission services may be available for printing and delivery at the facility.

Adding money to someone's account at MCC New York typically works through a few channels: online or mobile apps, phone payments, lobby or visitor kiosks, mailing permitted money orders, or paying in person at a cashier window. Online and phone deposits usually go through third-party providers, so expect service fees and varying processing times. You'll need the incarcerated person's identifying information—often a booking/jacket number or their full name and date of birth. Bring a valid photo ID for in-person deposits. Some payment portals also support remote bail or court-related payments if you have the required case details.
