Shawangunk Correctional Facility is a maximum-security New York State prison in Wallkill, Ulster County. It is operated by the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS). The facility primarily houses adult male inmates who have been sentenced to state prison, rather than people held for short-term county jail detention or routine pretrial custody. Its role is to provide secure custody, supervision, programs, and reentry-related services for individuals committed to state custody by New York courts. Local arrests and pretrial detainees in Ulster County are generally handled by the county jail or local holding facilities before any state prison commitment.
Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Shawangunk Correctional Facility
Inmate rosters are public custody lists. County jail rosters often list a person’s name, booking date, charges, housing or court information, and custody status. Shawangunk is a New York State DOCCS prison, so public lookup is usually through the DOCCS incarcerated individual search rather than a local booking roster; results may show name, DIN or NYSID, current facility, custody status, sentence, and release-related dates. New records and transfers usually require processing and may take several hours or longer before they are searchable. If the person was just arrested in Ulster County, check the county jail first.
