It is not a county jail. The facility generally houses sentenced adult state inmates and is part of the state prison system, including reception, classification, and custody functions for people committed to state custody.

Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Ulster Correctional Facility
Members of the public can use the official inmate search link on this page to look for someone held here. Inmate lookup records typically list identifying and custody information such as the person’s name, booking or admission date, charges or conviction offense, facility location, and custody status. For a state facility, the record may show an admission date or Department Identification Number instead of a county booking number. Records may not appear immediately after booking, transfer, or intake because processing and data entry can take several hours. If the person does not appear right away, check again later or contact the facility or the appropriate court for current status.
FAQs
How do I visit an inmate at Ulster Correctional Facility?
Visits are usually scheduled according to facility rules, visiting days, and the inmate’s housing or custody status. You may need to be on the inmate’s approved visitor list before you can enter.
What do I need to bring when visiting Ulster Correctional Facility?
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, state ID, or passport. Follow all dress code, property, and security rules because items not allowed here must be left outside or secured before entry.
How do I make phone or video calls with an inmate?
Inmates generally place outgoing calls through the approved correctional phone system, and families may need to create and fund an account with the service provider. Video visits, if available, must usually be scheduled in advance and follow the same conduct rules as in-person visits.
How do I send mail to an inmate?
Address mail with the inmate’s full name, identification number if known, and the facility mailing address. Mail is screened for safety, and prohibited items, altered papers, or messages that violate rules may be rejected.
How does the commissary work?
Commissary allows inmates to buy approved items such as snacks, hygiene products, and writing supplies. Family or friends may be able to add money to an inmate account through approved payment methods, subject to facility limits and fees.
How is bail set and how do I post bond at Ulster Correctional Facility?
Bail is set by a court, not by the facility. Because this is a state correctional facility for sentenced inmates, bail questions usually apply to a pending court case or county jail matter, so contact the court clerk or the county jail handling the case for payment instructions.
What happens during the intake process at Ulster Correctional Facility and when will the inmate appear in the system?
During intake, staff confirm identity, review paperwork, complete health and security screening, assign housing, and enter the person into the records system. Processing can take several hours, so the inmate may not appear in the online search immediately after arrival or transfer.
