Inmate Lookup for Greene Correctional Facility

The Tool, and What It Costs

Nothing. The lookup is at nysdoccslookup.doccs.ny.gov, the state runs it, and anyone can use it. No sign-up, no fee, no cap on searches.

It returns people held in New York state prisons. Greene is one, so an inmate lookup for Greene is this search with a name typed into it.

Searching by Name

With a DIN in hand, enter that. Exact, and fastest.

Without one, the search takes a last name and first name:

• Use the legal name before any nickname.
• Try a maiden name if one might be on record.
• Check the spelling letter by letter, because the tool matches what you type exactly.

A result gives you the facility, the DIN and custody details. It does not give a housing unit, and no New York result does.

Three States, One Name

Search for “Greene Correctional” without the state and the results scatter.

Facility	State	Run by
Greene Correctional Facility	New York	NYSDOCCS
Greene Correctional Institution	North Carolina	NC Department of Adult Correction
SCI Greene	Pennsylvania	PA Department of Corrections

Each state runs its own search tool, and none of them returns the others’ people. If the case was in a New York state court, the New York lookup is the right one.

Two Prisons in Coxsackie

The New York prison called Greene sits in the village of Coxsackie, and Coxsackie Correctional Facility is in the same village.

	Greene	Coxsackie
Security	Medium	Maximum
Street	165 Plank Road	11260 Route 9W
Family mail box	P.O. Box 975	P.O. Box 999
Phone	518-731-2741	518-731-2781

A result reading “Coxsackie, NY” could be either prison. The facility line on the result settles it, and the post box follows from that.

What the DIN Is For

Where you need it	What happens without it
The envelope	Mail is not matched to a person
The JPay deposit slip	Deposits are matched to the DIN, not a name
The visiting desk	Staff work from the number
Any call to the prison	It is the first thing you will be asked

Write it down once, carefully.

County Jails Are a Different System

The DOCCS lookup covers state prisons only.

Someone awaiting trial, serving under a year, or recently arrested is usually in a county jail, and every county runs its own roster, Greene County included. A blank result often means the county is the right place to look, not that the search failed.

Nothing Came Back

In this order.

1. Spelling, then variants, then a maiden name.
2. Wrong state. North Carolina and Pennsylvania both run a Greene prison with their own tools.
3. Not yet in state custody. Sentencing comes first, then transfer.
4. Transferred. New York moves people between prisons, including between the two in Coxsackie, and the lookup follows them.

Run It Again Before You Act

A move from Greene to Coxsackie Correctional Facility is a few minutes across the village and a completely different post box.

Re-run the lookup before you post a letter and before you send money. It takes under a minute.

Once You Have the Number

With the DIN written down, everything else opens up. Pigeonly takes the name and the facility and sends letters and photos from your phone, addressed to P.O. Box 975 with the matching ZIP, so the two prisons in Coxsackie do not end up sharing your envelope.
