About the Broome County Sheriff's Correctional Facility

Broome County Sheriff's Correctional Facility is a mid-size to large medium security county jail in Binghamton, New York, located at 155 Lt. VanWinkle Drive. It has the capacity for 536 inmates, but it lacks an inmate jail roster to look up inmates and find important information such as their mugshot, criminal charges, bond and other information.

However, you can still find out this information by calling the Broome County Sheriff's Correctional Facility 24 hours a day at 607-778-1911 and asking staff. The other way is what is called an 'inmate search hack'. To get the inmate information, or at least confirm that an inmate is in custody, all you need to do is scroll down this page to any of the inmate services information; bail and bond, visitation, inmate phone or messaging, money or commissary... and register your name and email. Enter New York, the Broome County Sheriff's Correctional Facility, then search for your inmate. If the person you are looking for shows up, then you know they are incarcerated here. The final option is to search for them on Vinelink.

The Corrections Division of the Broome County Sheriff is responsible for the full operation of the Correctional Facility and the keeping and care for all detainees who are housed within, either temporarily or serving a long sentence. Recent upgrades to the facility created a new 'state of the art' medical unit, converted unused space into useable spaces, and the direct supervision facility now houses all 536 beds in double occupancy cells.

Each inmate goes through an health screening and treatment as needed upon their entrance to the facility, and there are strict expectations and regulations to ensure the safety of not only the inmates but also the staff, as well as any visitors or others who are at the location. A weekender program is supported here allowing qualified inmates to serve their sentences on weekends only, and work projects see inmates giving back to the community in upkeep or other projects around the community.
