Easy Inmate Lookup for Wyoming 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. Wyoming is one, so an inmate lookup for Wyoming 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.

Wyoming, New York, Not the State

The name sends a lot of searches the wrong way. Wyoming Correctional Facility is named after Wyoming County, New York, and it is run by NYSDOCCS.

Search	Covers this prison?
New York DOCCS lookup	Yes
Wyoming Department of Corrections	No, that is the state of Wyoming
Wyoming County Jail roster	No, that is the county jail in Warsaw

If the case went through a New York state court, the New York lookup is the one to use.

Wyoming or Attica?

Both are New York state prisons in the Town of Attica with the ZIP 14011.

	Wyoming	Attica
Security	Medium	Maximum
Street	3203 Dunbar Road	639 Exchange Street
Mail	P.O. Box 501, 14011-0501	Its own address, 14011-0149
Phone	585-591-1010	585-591-2000

The facility line on the result settles it. A result naming Wyoming means the medium security prison on Dunbar Road, not Attica Correctional Facility, whatever the town says. If the result names Attica instead, our Attica inmate lookup covers that prison.

County Jails Are a Different System

The DOCCS lookup covers state prisons only. Someone recently arrested in Wyoming County is usually in the Wyoming County Jail in Warsaw, which runs its own roster. After sentencing to state time they move into a prison such as Wyoming, and from then the state lookup finds them.

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
Any call to the prison	It is the first thing you will be asked
Any form or request	Staff work from the number

Write it down once, carefully, together with the exact spelling of the name.

Nothing Came Back

In this order.

1. Spelling, then variants, then a maiden name.
2. Still in a county jail. Sentencing comes first, then transfer to state custody.
3. Wrong state. Each state runs its own lookup.
4. Transferred. New York moves people between prisons, and the lookup follows them.

Run It Again Before You Act

New York moves people between prisons, and a move from Wyoming to Attica keeps the town name and changes everything else.

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 501 with the full ZIP, so the envelope says Wyoming and not Attica.
