Pine City, NY Southport Correctional Facility View
Southport Correctional Facility in Pine City, Chemung County, New York, is a former New York State correctional facility operated by the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision.

For current custody information, use official state or county inmate search tools, because inmates may be housed at other active facilities.
Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Southport Correctional Facility
To find an inmate, use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility roster or the appropriate New York State custody lookup. Inmate rosters and custody records typically show a person’s name, booking or admission date, charges or offense information when available, and current custody status or location. Records do not always appear immediately after arrest, sentencing, or transfer. Processing, identification, and data entry can take several hours, so a newly booked or transferred person may not be searchable right away. If no result appears, check again later or contact the facility or agency listed on the official search page.
