How to Find an Inmate at Albion Correctional Facility
Members of the public can use the official inmate search link on this page to look for a person held at the facility. Jail rosters commonly list a person’s name, booking date, charges, and custody status, but state prison records may instead show the person’s name, Department ID number, facility, sentence information, and release eligibility. Records may take several hours to update after booking, transfer, or intake, so a person may not appear immediately. If the search does not show a result, check the spelling, try again later, or contact the facility or New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision for guidance.

How is bail set and how do I post bond at Albion Correctional Facility?
People held here are generally serving state sentences, so bail usually does not apply at this stage. Bail or bond questions are typically handled by the court or local jail before a person is transferred to state custody.
What happens during the intake process at Albion Correctional Facility and when will the inmate appear in the system?
During intake, staff verify identity, review records, assign housing, complete health and security screening, and explain facility rules. Search records may take several hours or longer to update, so the inmate may not appear in the system immediately after arrival.
