Two state prisons on one road in Malone. The box number is the whole difference.

View ArticleCalls went free across New York in August 2025 and need nothing set up.
View ArticleLetters go to P.O. Box 10 at Malone. The care needed is the box number, because Upstate Correctional Facility is P.O. Box 2000 on the same road, in the same town, with the same ZIP prefix. Mail is opened and inspected at the prison and the paper is handed over, so what you wrote is what they hold.
See the full breakdownWeekends and holidays, 7:30 AM to 3:00 PM, arriving by 2:00 PM, effective 1 September 2026. Weekend days are rationed by the last digit of the DIN, 0 to 4 and 5 to 9, so each weekend one day is yours and the other is not. One visiting day per week with no cap on visits within it, three visitors plus a child under five. Malone is six hours from New York City, and the free statewide visitor bus does not come here.
See the full breakdownOne statewide tool covers every New York state prison and takes a last name and first name. The care needed here is the name of the prison itself: North Carolina, Florida, Ohio and Missouri all run a Franklin facility, and a search that drops the state can land on any of them.
See the full breakdownJPay handles deposits for the whole state from a lockbox in Miami. A money order posted with a deposit slip is free and caps at $999.99 a transaction. The visitor lockbox inside the prison takes up to $50 cash a day in total, which for most families here means a visit day or nothing.
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. At six hours from the city, this does most of the work here.

P.O. Box 10, Malone, NY 12953-0010, with their full name and DIN on the envelope and your return address in the top left corner. Take care with the box number, because Upstate Correctional Facility is P.O. Box 2000 on the same road in the same town.
Mail & PhotosNo, though they share a road. Franklin is 62 Bare Hill Road and Upstate is 309 Bare Hill Road, both in Malone. Franklin is medium security on 518-483-6040. Upstate is maximum security on 518-483-6997. Their visiting hours, arrival cutoffs and post boxes are all different.
Inmate SearchWeekends and holidays, 7:30 AM to 3:00 PM, effective 1 September 2026, with the latest arrival at 2:00 PM. That is half an hour earlier than Upstate on the same road, and an hour of the day sits between the arrival cutoff and the close.
VisitationOne visiting day per week, with no limit on the number of visits within that day, and three visitors plus one child under five. Which weekend days are open to you depends on the last digit of the DIN, because Franklin splits the schedule into a 0 to 4 group and a 5 to 9 group. Holidays are open to everyone.
VisitationNot to Franklin. A statewide programme run with the state does provide free visitor buses to 18 prisons, and Upstate on the same road is one of them, but Franklin is not on that list. Malone is roughly six hours from the city by car.
VisitationWorth checking. Franklin Correctional Center is in Bunn, North Carolina, Franklin Correctional Institution is in Carrabelle, Florida, and Franklin County runs facilities in Ohio and Missouri. The New York prison is at Malone, in Franklin County, and the search result should say Franklin Correctional Facility.
Inmate SearchNothing. New York made every call from a state prison free to families on August 1, 2025. 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 across fifteen approved numbers.
Phone CallsTo the JPay lockbox at PO Box 531190, Miami, Florida 33153, with a deposit slip, free by post and capped at $999.99 a transaction. There is also a visitor lockbox at the prison taking up to $50 cash a day in total. Money never goes in the envelope.
