East Elmhurst, NY Rose M. Singer Center (RMSC) View
Rose M. Singer Center (RMSC) is a New York City Department of Correction facility associated with the Rikers Island jail complex, using an East Elmhurst mailing address and serving people held in New York City custody. It has historically housed women, including pretrial detainees and some sentenced inmates serving short local sentences or awaiting transfer. The facility’s role is to hold individuals ordered into custody by the courts, provide intake and classification, and support court appearances, release processing, and other jail services. Because housing assignments in New York City jails can change, the official custody lookup should be used to confirm where a person is currently held.
Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Rose M. Singer Center (RMSC)
Members of the public can look up a person in custody using the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster. Jail rosters typically list identifying information such as the person’s name, booking or admission date, pending charges, court or case information, and current custody status. Records do not always appear immediately after arrest or transfer. Intake, fingerprinting, classification, and data entry can take several hours, so a newly booked person may not be searchable right away. If the person is not listed, check again later or contact the appropriate New York City Department of Correction information line for guidance.
