A medium security prison for men outside the village of Moravia in Cayuga County, about fifty minutes south of Syracuse. Letters go to a family post box that is not the one on its address line, and visiting days follow a simple rule: an odd DIN visits on odd dates, an even DIN on even ones.

View ArticleLetters go to P.O. Box 1186, Moravia, NY 13118. The published address leads with P.O. Box 1150 and a ZIP ending 1150, which is the prison's own post, and the family ZIP has no extra digits at all. Mail is opened and inspected at the prison and the paper is handed over.
See the full breakdownVisits run 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM on weekends and weekday holidays, with the latest arrival at 2:30 PM. The DIN decides the day: odd DINs on odd dates, even DINs on even dates, which usually gives each family one day of the weekend. Holidays are open to all.
See the full breakdownOne statewide tool covers every New York state prison and takes a last name and first name. Cayuga County Jail is a separate county facility the state tool does not cover, and Auburn Correctional Facility sits in the same county, so the facility line on a result matters.
See the full breakdownSix routes in, and the two free ones are a money order by post and the visitor lockbox at the prison. Online, the JPay app and the phone all carry a fee and post faster. Every deposit is matched to the DIN, so the two box numbers in Moravia never touch the money.
See the full breakdownFree since August 1, 2025, with no account for a family to open or fund. Three calls of up to fifteen minutes credited every Saturday, thirty minutes on anything after that, between 7:00 AM and 11:00 PM, across fifteen numbers the person inside manages.
