A maximum security prison in Greene County, on the west bank of the Hudson about thirty miles south of Albany. Coxsackie carries four special units including a Regional Medical Unit that treats people sent here from other prisons, so the population includes men who are here for care rather than placement.

View ArticleTwo visits a day where most prisons allow one, and a 2:00 PM cutoff that bites.
View ArticleThe lockbox in reception charges nothing, and MoneyGram code 1317 takes cash.

View ArticleTwo boxes serve this prison and only one takes letters. Route 9W takes neither.
View ArticleOne statewide lookup covers every New York prison, keyed on the DIN. The complication here is local rather than technical: two DOCCS prisons share the Coxsackie mailing town with near-identical phone numbers, and the Regional Medical Unit means people arrive from elsewhere for treatment. Read the facility name in the result literally rather than going by the town.
See the full breakdownWeekends and, new since May 2026, Wednesdays. 9:00 AM to 3:15 PM with a 2:00 PM cutoff, and two visits a day are allowed where most prisons permit one. Weekend dates alternate by surname, A to L and M to Z, but Wednesdays are open to everyone. No application, no approved-visitor list, photo ID and a body scanner.
See the full breakdownJPay runs deposits for every New York prison. A money order to the Miami lockbox costs nothing but needs a deposit slip from the facility and caps at $999.99. Online and phone deposits post faster for $1.75 to $4.75, MoneyGram receive code 1317 takes cash for $4, and the lockbox here on a visit day is free. DOCCS takes no commission.
See the full breakdownFree across New York since August 1, 2025, which removed the account, the balance and the per-minute rate in one go. Three calls a week of up to fifteen minutes are credited on Saturdays, later calls run to thirty minutes, and the window is 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM across fifteen approved numbers.
See the full breakdownLetters go to P.O. Box 999, not to Box 200 and not to Route 9W. New York inspects mail at the prison rather than sending it to a scanning contractor, so the paper itself arrives. No Polaroids, no stamps, no third-party letters, and printed material capped at five pages. Packages come from approved vendors only.

P.O. Box 999, Coxsackie, NY 12051-0999, with the person's full name and DIN on the envelope and your return address in the top left. Do not use P.O. Box 200, which is the facility's business box, and do not use 11260 Route 9W, which is the street address you drive to for a visit.
Mail & Photos9:00 AM to 3:15 PM, with a latest arrival time of 2:00 PM. Visiting runs on weekends and, since May 4, 2026, on Wednesdays. Weekend dates alternate between surnames A to L and M to Z, while Wednesdays are open to everyone regardless of surname.
VisitationYes. Coxsackie publishes a maximum of two visits per day, which is more generous than most New York prisons. Green Haven allows one a day and Auburn publishes no daily cap at all. Each visit is capped at three adult visitors plus one child under five who sits on a lap.
VisitationNo. New York operates no visitor application and no approved-visitor list anywhere in the state. Bring current photo identification and arrive before the 2:00 PM cutoff. Every visitor passes a body image scanner for a contact visit, and declining means a non-contact visit rather than no visit.
VisitationNo, and they are minutes apart with almost the same phone number. Coxsackie Correctional Facility is maximum security at 11260 Route 9W, on 518-731-2781. Greene Correctional Facility is medium security at 165 Plank Road, on 518-731-2741. Both use a Coxsackie, NY 12051 mailing town. Greene also uses a completely different visiting system, split by DIN rather than surname.
Inmate SearchNothing. New York made all calls from state prisons free on August 1, 2025, and there is no longer a provider account for families to open or fund. Each person gets three calls a week of up to fifteen minutes credited on Saturdays, then calls run up to thirty minutes, between 7:00 AM and 11:00 PM.
Phone CallsCoxsackie is a maximum security prison and accepts maximum AB or lower under DOCCS Directive 0048. That is actually narrower than Auburn and Green Haven, which accept any classification. It also holds people transferred in for medical care at its Regional Medical Unit, so a person may be here temporarily for treatment rather than placement.
Inmate SearchNot yourself. New York allows packages only from approved vendors, shipped by USPS, FedEx or UPS, and nothing can be brought to a visit or posted by a family member. The limits are three food packages a month at 40 pounds combined and two non-food packages a year. DOCCS publishes a disapproved vendor list rather than an approved one.
Mail & PhotosNo. Coxsackie does not appear on the DOCCS Family Reunion Program facility list, unlike Auburn and Green Haven which both take part. If extended family visiting matters to you, that is worth knowing before a transfer request rather than after one.
