New York Counties

New York has 62 counties, each with its own jail operated by the county sheriff's office. The sheriff handles arrests, booking, inmate custody, and jail roster records for the county. Some counties post their jail roster online while others take requests by phone or in person. The New York State Commission of Correction oversees all county jails and sets minimum standards for care and custody.
