A maximum security prison for men at Romulus, in Seneca County, sitting between Seneca Lake and Cayuga Lake in the Finger Lakes. It is the only state prison in the county, and the one thing worth getting right before anything else is the box number on the envelope.

Both numbers sit on one line of the prison's own address. Only one reaches a person.
View ArticleThree hours guaranteed, and a published order for who leaves when the room fills.
View ArticleThe DIN is the key, and it is the number you will keep using everywhere else.
View ArticleA deposit slip and a Miami lockbox, or pay to skip the wait. Never in the envelope.
View ArticleCalls went free statewide in August 2025, on a list your person controls.
View ArticleLetters go to Caller Box 119 at 6600 State Route 96. DOCCS prints that box inside a bracket on the same line as Caller Box 400, which is the prison's own, and the wrong one is widely republished. Mail is opened and inspected here rather than scanned somewhere else, so the paper your person holds is the paper you sent.
See the full breakdownWednesdays and weekends, 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, arriving by 2:00 PM. Weekend days are split Even or Odd by the DIN's last digit. Three visitors, no cap on visits in a day, and a minimum of three hours unless you start after noon. Weekday holiday visiting is suspended here, which sets it apart from the prisons that visit daily.
See the full breakdownOne statewide tool covers every New York state prison, and the DIN it returns is the number you will need for the envelope, the deposit slip and the visit. Five Points is the only DOCCS facility in Seneca County, so a result here is unambiguous about where to drive.
See the full breakdownJPay handles deposits for the whole state. A money order to the Miami lockbox costs nothing but needs a deposit slip and caps at $999.99 a transaction. The lockbox inside the prison takes up to $50 cash per person per day, also free, and anything left there is forwarded to JPay anyway.
See the full breakdownFree since August 1, 2025. No provider account, no balance, no per-minute charge to a family. 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 adds and manages.

Caller Box 119, 6600 State Route 96, Romulus, NY 14541, with their full name and DIN on the envelope and your return address in the top left. DOCCS prints Caller Box 400 and Caller Box 119 on the same line, and 400 belongs to the prison rather than to your person.
Mail & PhotosBecause they copied the wrong half of one line. New York publishes a business address and a separate incarcerated mail box for each prison, and procurement documents carry only the business one. That is where Caller Box 400 comes from.
Mail & PhotosWednesdays and weekends, 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, with the latest arrival at 2:00 PM. Wednesdays are open to all, and each weekend day belongs to even or odd DINs. Weekday holiday visiting is suspended at Five Points, so a public holiday falling on a Monday or a Thursday is not a visiting day here.
VisitationA minimum of three hours, unless it starts after 12:00 PM. That is a published floor rather than a guess, and it is worth knowing before you drive, because the three hour mark is also when the visiting room starts asking people to leave if it is full.
VisitationThere is a published order. Volunteers are asked first. Then visitors living within 100 miles are ended after three hours, first in first out. Then people whose family travelled more than 100 miles, on the same basis. Anyone who has not had a visit in six months is considered separately by the Superintendent or Officer of the Day.
VisitationThree visitors at a time. There is no cap on the number of visits in a day, which is more generous than several maximum security prisons in the state, and nothing needs filing in advance.
VisitationNo. New York has no visitor application and no approved-visitor list for an ordinary visit. You need valid photo identification and the consent of the person you are visiting. Former incarcerated people, anyone on probation or parole, and DOCCS employees need written permission from the Superintendent.
VisitationNothing. New York made every call from a state prison free on August 1, 2025, and families no longer open or fund a provider account. Three calls of up to fifteen minutes are credited each Saturday, calls after those run to thirty minutes, and the window is 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM.
Phone CallsNo, and it will not reach them. Money goes to the JPay lockbox at PO Box 531190, Miami, Florida 33153 with a deposit slip, or into the visitor lockbox at the prison on a visit day. Mail here is opened and inspected specifically for cash, cheques and money orders.
