For a recent arrest, call the Corrections Division on 607-547-4252. The Sheriff’s office is 607-547-4271, Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 4:30 PM.

State Prison Is a Different Search

The Building and Who Is Held

The jail has 96 beds, in dormitories and conventional cells, and is run as a maximum security facility because it holds everyone from people charged with local violations to people convicted of the most serious crimes. It was built in 1991 and occupied in 1992.
