Not in Schoharie Village Any More

The old jail in the village of Schoharie was wrecked by Hurricane Irene in August 2011. For nine years, people held by the county were boarded at the Albany County Correctional Facility. In September 2020 everyone moved into the new jail in Howes Cave.

The Facility

The jail holds up to 69 people. It is a direct supervision jail: a Corrections Deputy is posted in each housing unit around the clock. It holds sentenced people, people awaiting trial, and people boarded in from other counties.

After Sentencing

Anyone sentenced to state prison moves into the DOCCS system and gets a DIN, and from then on the DOCCS lookup is the place to find them.
