Westchester County Department of Correction

You can search Westchester Inmate Public for someone in Westchester County Department of Correction custody. The lookup covers county DOC custody, not just one housing unit, and offers name-search options, birth-date and age fields, and an option to include aliases. Not everyone in custody appears online. Security reasons or the type of inmate can keep someone from being displayed, so no visible match does not establish that the person has been released or is not in custody. If you find no match, call (914) 231-1000 for more information. The department can provide bail status and amount, the arresting agency, and visiting information.

Westchester County Jail allows two visitors per visit, including children. You and one child fill both places. Each person in custody is entitled to two visits per week, with only one on a weekend or recognized holiday. You may share a brief embrace and kiss at the beginning and end of the visit, under direct correctional-staff supervision. No additional physical contact is allowed, including holding hands, further kissing, handshakes or passing an infant between you and the person you are visiting. Violating this policy results in the visit being terminated. For visiting information, call the Westchester County Department of Correction at (914) 231-1000.

To support someone at Westchester County Jail, choose between an account deposit and a commissary gift. Touch Pay adds money to an inmate’s account. You can deposit online with a major credit card at any time, or use the Jail lobby kiosks Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Bring a valid photo ID for an in-person deposit. For a commissary gift, order through iCare with your credit card. Use www.Icaregifts.com, the only gift website authorized by Westchester County Department of Correction. Credit-card bail has a separate financial consequence. You must agree that the funds become the property of the person you are bailing out. If the court orders bail returned after the case or charges are resolved, that money goes directly to the defendant, not back to your credit card.

Check the applicable male or female acceptable-items list before choosing what to bring. Confirm drop-off hours with the facility before you travel.
