Sullivan County Jail Roster Limits
No official Sullivan County Jail online roster, booking list, current-inmate search page, or released-inmate search page was located on the Sullivan County Sheriff's Office site. That finding changes the order of a records search. The sheriff's page gives the jail contact and confirms the Sheriff's Office operates the jail, but it does not expose a searchable public roster with names, booking numbers, housing units, charges, bond, court dates, or release dates.
The practical first step is the Sullivan County Jail phone line, followed by the county FOIL process when a record is not provided by phone or is not posted online. New York VINE can help with custody notification, while court records show filed charges after an arrest. Sentenced state prisoners are searched through New York State DOCCS, not through the county jail. Federal and immigration custody use separate federal systems. Treat each channel as a different record holder.
Important: Sullivan has no official sheriff-published online roster located, so the fallback chain starts with the jail, sheriff FOIL, VINE, court records, DOCCS, BOP, and ICE.
Search Sullivan County Inmate Records
A current Sullivan County jail inmate search should begin with facts that staff or a records officer can use to distinguish the person from others with the same name. Have the full legal name, date of birth or age, arrest date, arresting agency, and any case number ready before calling or writing. The county source does not say what jail staff will confirm by phone, so custody status, charges, bail, housing, and release information should be verified through the office that controls that piece of the record.
- Call Sullivan County Jail at 845-794-7102 for current local custody status or routing to the correct jail records contact.
- If the needed record is not available by phone, send a sheriff FOIL request to Nadine Bury at nadine.bury@sullivanny.gov.
- Use New York VINE for custody and release notification when a one-time phone check is not enough.
- Search NY Courts WebCriminal when the goal is charges, court dates, or case status after the arrest.
- Use DOCCS incarcerated lookup after a state-prison sentence or transfer.
- Check BOP or ICE ODLS only when federal or immigration custody is possible.
Sullivan County Roster Search Fields
The official county sources reviewed do not provide a live Sullivan County jail roster form. Because there is no public form to inspect, no booking-number field, name field, facility filter, release-date filter, or mugshot result page can be claimed for the county jail. The table below is therefore a negative field inventory, which is more accurate than filling in a generic roster table from another county.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| No official Sullivan County jail roster located | n/a | n/a | The sheriff page located does not expose a current-inmate form, released-inmate tab, booking input, housing filter, mugshot feed, or result page. |
| Phone lookup details | Caller-provided facts | Useful | Use name, date of birth or age, arrest date, arresting agency, and known court or case number. |
| FOIL description | Free-text request | Needed for records request | Describe the booking record, jail log, incident record, policy, mugshot, or date range sought. |
The county FOIL page states that requests may be written, emailed, or faxed, and that the form is a convenience rather than a mandatory format. The Sullivan County FOIL page lists a five-business-day response rule for granting, denying, or acknowledging the request and setting an approximate response date if more time is needed.
The county FOIL page is the key official source when Sullivan County inmate records are not posted online.
That FOIL route does not replace the jail phone for current custody, but it gives a written process for booking records, jail logs, policies, and other releasable records.
Sullivan County Inmate Profile Fields
Since the county does not publish an official online inmate profile, the public cannot inspect a Sullivan County roster sample to see which fields are displayed. A booking record may exist inside sheriff or jail systems, but public access depends on phone policy, court records, VINE, or a FOIL response. Do not assume an online county profile will show a mugshot, bond, charges, housing, or release date.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Not visible on an official county roster because no roster was located. |
| Booking number | Not visible online in official county sources located. Request by phone or FOIL if needed. |
| Booking date and time | Not posted in an official public county roster. |
| Mugshot | No sheriff-published booking-photo gallery or roster photo was located. |
| Charges | Use WebCrims or court clerk records for filed charges because booking charges may change. |
| Bond or bail | Confirm with the court that set bail, the jail, or counsel. No online county field was located. |
| Release or status | Use the jail phone or VINE for custody and release notification. |
Sullivan County Inmate Facilities
Sullivan County has two active custody settings that searchers often confuse. Sullivan County Jail is the local jail for pretrial detainees, people awaiting court action, short local jail sentences, parole violator categories, state-ready people awaiting transfer, and other local custody statuses reported to the state. Woodbourne Correctional Facility is a New York State DOCCS prison for sentenced adult male incarcerated individuals. A newly arrested person in Monticello, Liberty, Fallsburg, or another Sullivan County community is not searched through Woodbourne unless that person has been sentenced and transferred to state custody.

Sullivan County Custody Lookup Paths
A county jail record is not the same as a state prison record, a court case, a federal sentence, or an immigration detention record. The Sullivan County Jail may hold people before trial, after arraignment, during a local sentence, on a parole warrant, or while they are state-ready. Once a person is received into DOCCS, the state locator becomes the stronger source. Federal and ICE searches should be used only when the facts point to those systems.
| Custody or Record Type | Where to Look | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Local jail custody | Sullivan County Jail phone and sheriff FOIL | Current local custody, booking records, jail logs, and non-posted jail records when releasable. |
| Release notification | New York VINE | Automated custody, release, escape, death, furlough, and temporary or work-release notifications. |
| Filed criminal charges | WebCrims, CHRS, and court clerks | Pending cases, court dates, charge status, dispositions, and statewide criminal-history search. |
| State prison custody | New York State DOCCS lookup | Current and certain former state-prison incarcerated individuals, including Woodbourne. |
| Federal custody | BOP inmate locator or U.S. Marshals | Federal inmates from 1982 to present and federal pretrial custody routing. |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator System | ICE custody and certain CBP custody searches by A-number or biographical data. |
DOCCS Inmate Search Fields
The DOCCS locator is useful only after state custody begins. NY.gov says the lookup covers current and certain former incarcerated individuals in DOCCS facilities, with exclusions for youthful offenders, set-aside convictions, some treatment placements, and certain removed nonviolent offender information. A Sullivan County Jail detainee waiting for arraignment or trial will usually not appear there.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| DIN | Text | Optional if using another method | Department Identification Number assigned at DOCCS reception. |
| NYSID | Text | Optional if using another method | New York State ID assigned by DCJS. |
| Last Name | Text | Required for name search | Can be used alone or with first name and birth year. |
| First Name | Text | Optional | Use with last name to narrow results. |
| Birth Year | Year | Optional with name | Use only with last and first names. |
State-ready is the bridge term. The DCJS/SCOC report includes people sentenced to state prison but not yet transferred to DOCCS. During that gap, families may need both the Sullivan County Jail and DOCCS lookup, depending on whether the transfer has occurred.
Sullivan County Booking Records
A Sullivan County arrest may come from the Sheriff's Office, New York State Police, a village police department, a town agency, or a warrant pickup. A person might be released on an appearance ticket, taken to court, or admitted to jail depending on the charge, court availability, warrant status, and commitment paperwork. Booking usually involves identity checks, property inventory, search, fingerprints, photograph, screening, and classification, but Sullivan does not publish an online booking manual in the sources located.
The court stage matters because a booking charge is not always the final charge. Prosecutors may add, reduce, amend, dismiss, supersede, or present charges to a grand jury. For that reason, Sullivan County court records after jail arrest are the better place to verify filed charges, court dates, and dispositions. The jail record helps answer custody status. The court record shows what the prosecution filed.
- Booking
- Jail intake after arrest, often including identity checks, property, fingerprints, and a photo.
- Arraignment
- The first court appearance where charges are read and release, bail, or remand may be addressed.
- Detainer
- A hold or notice from another authority, such as parole, another county, federal custody, or immigration.
- State ready
- A person sentenced to state prison but still waiting in the local jail for DOCCS transfer.
Sullivan County Jail Visit Records
The official sheriff page located does not publish a Sullivan County Jail visitation schedule, video-visit vendor, mail policy, commissary vendor, phone provider, tablet program, deposit instructions, or attorney-visit rule. That gap should not be filled with third-party jail schedules. Call the jail before traveling, sending money, mailing property, or trying to schedule a visit.
| Topic | Official Detail Located | Practical Note |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visits | Not posted on sheriff page located | Call 845-794-7102 before traveling. |
| Video visits | Not posted | Do not rely on a vendor name without official confirmation. |
| Visitor ID | Not posted | Bring government photo ID and confirm minor visitor rules. |
| Not posted | Confirm exact inmate name, ID needs, and address format. | |
| Money deposits | Not posted | No official online vendor was located. |
| Attorney visits | Not posted | Attorneys should contact the jail directly. |
Note: Confirm custody and jail rules before sending money, mail, or visit requests because the county page does not publish those operating details.
Sullivan County Records Not Online
New York FOIL, including Public Officers Law section 87 and section 89, is the route for many agency records not posted online. FOIL does not mean every jail record must be released. Active investigation, privacy, sealed records, youthful offender treatment, safety, protected identifying information, and other exemptions can limit access or require redaction. Ordinary photocopy fees are capped by state law for standard pages unless another statute applies.
The county FOIL form asks for the request date, requester name, phone, email, address, and a description of the records. A good Sullivan County inmate record request is precise. Ask for a booking sheet, jail log entry, incident record, policy, or booking photo by name, date range, and arresting agency when known. For mugshots, use the official booking-photo process described on the Sullivan County jail mugshots page and avoid commercial mugshot sources.
