How to Drop Off Clothing and Property at Oneida County Jail
Dropping off clothing or other items for someone in jail can be straightforward—if you go at the right time and only bring items the facility will accept. Here’s how drop-off works at Oneida County Correctional Facility so your trip doesn’t get wasted.
Clothing and other approved property can be dropped off at Oneida County Correctional Facility Monday through Friday, from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM only. If you show up outside that weekday window, staff may not be able to accept the items - even if you’re already at the building - so plan your trip around those hours.
Heads up: Property drop-off is limited to Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM–7:00 PM. Arriving outside those hours usually means you’ll have to come back another day.
The key word is “approved.” The facility only accepts clothing and property that meets their rules, and anything not approved can be refused at the door. If you’re not sure whether a specific item will be accepted, call the visitation office first - getting a quick answer before you drive over can save you a lot of frustration.
To confirm what’s allowed (or to ask how to handle a specific situation), contact the Oneida County Correctional Facility visitation office at (315) 765-2380. If you’re heading in person, the facility address is 6075 Judd Road, Oriskany, NY 13424.
Tips for Successful Dropoff
- ✓ Go Monday through Friday between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM
- ✓ Call the visitation office at (315) 765-2380 ahead of time if you’re unsure an item is approved
- ✓ Bring the incarcerated person’s identifying information (name and ID number, if you have it)
- ✓ Label anything you’re dropping off so it’s clear who it’s for
- ✓ Keep any receipts or a personal record of what you dropped off and when
Tip: If you’re arriving close to 7:00 AM or 7:00 PM, call (315) 765-2380 first so you don’t miss the drop-off window.
If what you really need to do is leave money (not physical property), you have another option. Anyone may leave money for an inmate at the commissary kiosk located in the entrance vestibule of the visitation area, and that kiosk is available seven days per week, 24 hours per day. That makes it a helpful alternative when you can’t make it in during the weekday-only property drop-off hours.
Quick option: Need to add funds outside the Monday–Friday drop-off window? Use the commissary kiosk - it’s available 24/7 in the visitation entrance vestibule.
