Warren County Correctional Facility Custody

Warren County Facility Overview

Warren County Correctional Facility is a county jail and local correctional facility operated by the Warren County Sheriff's Office Corrections Division. The jail is at 1400 State Route 9, Lake George, NY 12845, inside the Sheriff's Office Public Safety Building in the Town of Lake George. The corrections phone line is (518) 743-2500 option 2. The county states that the jail was constructed in 2004 and provides detention for arrested people when City Court, Local Justice Courts, Superior Courts, or Federal Courts order detention in Warren County.

The Warren County Correctional Facility is not a state prison, federal prison, or ICE detention center. It is the county's primary and only official adult detention facility identified in the research. The county states that it can hold local, state, and federal prisoners, but that wording describes who may be physically housed at the jail under a court order. It does not make the jail a DOCCS prison or a BOP institution. For a current Warren County jail booking, start with county custody channels. After a state-prison sentence and transfer, search DOCCS. After federal sentencing, search BOP. For immigration custody, search ICE.

The Sheriff's Office page names Sheriff Jim LaFarr and Undersheriff Terry Comeau in the county contact block. Facility records that are not available through custody lookup may also involve Central Records or the county FOIL request page.

The Warren County Corrections page is the matching source for the jail's address, facility role, capacity, admissions, staff, bail, inmate funds, mail, publication rules, HALT reporting links, and VINE custody information.

That source is the best starting point for facility-level rules because it is the Sheriff's Office page for the Warren County jail rather than a third-party roster page.

Warren County Jail Population

The county reports a maximum capacity of 186 beds at Warren County Correctional Facility. It also reports 705 annual admissions, 100 staff members made up of sworn officers and civilians, and a county-reported average daily inmate population of 93. Those figures describe facility scale and turnover. Admissions count each person admitted during the year, while average daily population describes how many people are typically held on a given day.

The DCJS/SCOC monthly jail population report prepared 6/1/2026 gives a separate official monthly snapshot. For May 2026, Warren County Jail had an average daily census of 100 and an in-house population of 101. The same May 2026 categories included 27 sentenced people, 1 civil case, 0 federal average, 5 technical parole violators, 2 state readies, and 65 other unsentenced people. "State readies" are people sentenced to state prison but not yet transferred. "Other unsentenced" mainly means people awaiting arraignment, trial, sentencing, or parole action on a new arrest.

Using the county's 186-bed maximum, the May 2026 census of 100 was about 54 percent of stated capacity. The county-reported average daily population of 93 equals half of the bed capacity. No captured source reported an overcrowding order or capacity litigation for Warren County Correctional Facility. County-wide count context belongs with the Warren County inmate population overview.

Find Warren County Facility Custody

No county-run public roster with full inmate profiles was captured for Warren County Correctional Facility. The county's own Corrections page points users to New York VINE, which communicates with jail and prison booking systems and can report whether a person is held in jail and the facility location. For very recent bookings, spelling issues, transport, housing changes, or unclear VINE results, call Warren County Correctional Facility at (518) 743-2500 option 2.

1. Search New York VINE for the person's custody status and location in Warren County jail custody.
2. Call (518) 743-2500 option 2 if VINE does not show a match or the booking may be recent.
3. Use Central Records or a written FOIL request for booking records, incident reports, or non-roster jail records that are not displayed online.
4. Search DOCCS after a sentenced state-prison transfer, BOP after federal sentencing, and ICE for immigration custody.

For a broader explanation of the custody lookup chain, the Warren County jail inmate records page covers VINE, phone confirmation, public records requests, and the state and federal locator split in one place.

Warren County Facility Contact

Use the corrections option for current custody questions, visit timing, housing-unit confirmation, mail questions, and bail logistics. The county does not publish separate public lobby hours for custody inquiries in the captured jail text. Central Records handles many sheriff records during weekday business hours, but the corrections phone option is the direct facility line for jail custody.

Warren County Visitation Schedule

Warren County Correctional Facility visitation is set by housing unit. The inmate is responsible for telling visitors the assigned unit and visit time. Visitors are encouraged to arrive 30 minutes before the scheduled start for identification and processing. The jail accepts visitors only until 10 minutes before the posted visit time, and no additional visitors are accepted after that point.

The Warren County jail visitation page lists the housing-unit schedule and visitor screening rules for the facility.

The schedule is unit-specific, so a visitor should confirm the inmate's current unit before traveling to the Public Safety Building.

Visitors need state or federal photo identification with date of birth unless correctional staff already know the visitor's identity. Lockers are provided in the correction lobby for items not allowed in the visitation room. Visitors pass through a magnetometer, must wear proper clothing, and may not bring photographic or recording devices into the visit. Visitors and inmates may not pass objects. A visitor under 18 must be with a parent or legal guardian, and a guardian may have to prove legal authority.

Note: Visit times are not saved or moved if a visitor arrives late or misses the assigned housing-unit period.

Warren County Mail and Money

Warren County Correctional Facility limits property after admission. Allowable property must be purchased from and mailed directly by a vendor whose ordinary business includes selling and shipping that item. Publications must come directly from an outside vendor and be shipped to the jail in the inmate's name. The county allows six publications in an inmate's possession, prohibits hard-cover books and publications, and bars sexually explicit, nude, offensive, illegal, or socially unacceptable content.

The Access Corrections deposit portal is the funds channel linked by Warren County for inmate accounts.

Deposit fees were not published in the captured county text, so payment costs should be checked in the portal before money is sent.

Warren County Phone and Bail

ConnectNetwork lists Warren County NY-County Jail for AdvancePay Phone service. AdvancePay is a prepaid phone account used to receive calls from an incarcerated person. The captured county text did not publish a phone-rate table, so the account screen should be checked before funding. The ConnectNetwork Warren County facility page is the matching phone-service source.

Phone service is separate from inmate funds, so a commissary deposit does not automatically create a prepaid calling account.

Bail at Warren County Correctional Facility can be paid at any time by cash or credit card only. The county states that credit-card bail includes a separate fee, but the captured text did not publish the fee amount. Bail questions should be confirmed through the jail because court orders, warrant status, holds, and release conditions can change whether a person may be released after payment.

County State Federal Custody

Warren County Correctional Facility custody is local jail custody. A person may be booked there after an arrest by a local police department, the Sheriff's Office, a state agency, or under a federal court order, but the lookup source depends on who has legal custody and where the person is in the case. County custody is usually confirmed through VINE and the jail phone. State prison custody begins after sentencing and transfer to DOCCS. BOP custody begins when the person is in the federal prison system, not merely because the case is federal. ICE custody is a separate immigration system.

Warren County Facility Records

Records that are not available through VINE or direct custody confirmation may require a Sheriff's Office records request. Central Records is the weekday fallback for sheriff records, incident reports, and related jail records. Warren County also uses an online NextRequest portal for county records requests. A useful request gives the person's name, date of birth if known, incident date, location, incident number if known, and the specific record sought. Booking records and photographs can have privacy limits under New York law, so not every jail item is released on demand.

The county's Corrections page also publishes HALT Act reporting links for recent years. HALT reports concern segregated confinement reporting, not a public roster. They are still relevant to jail transparency because New York rules require monthly, semiannual, and annual reporting for people in segregated confinement. For Warren County Correctional Facility, those reports sit closer to facility conditions and population oversight than to an inmate lookup tool.
