Calling the Westchester County Penitentiary to find out information on an inmate is a thing of the past now. Now, you can easily locate information on an inmate within a few minutes.

The Westchester County Penitentiary keeps its updated inmate roster available on the web for the general public to search through. In order to search through the database, you can need to know the full name of the inmate.

Keep in mind that the inmate roster is not updated in real-time, so if an inmate was just transferred to the facility, it will take a few hours to a few days before they officially show up in the inmate roster.

The Westchester County Penitentiary uses JailATM to allow the families and friends of inmates to deposit money in their commissary and phone accounts.

The JailATM is like the popular JPay service. You will incur a service fee for using the service, but the funds will be deposited into the inmate's accounts typically within the same day.

You will be able to deposit funds over the phone and online as well. This makes it easy for you no matter where you are or what you are doing.

Inmates are not completely cut off from communicating with their loved ones outside of jail. The Westchester County Penitentiary wants inmates to continue talking to their family and friends and have a support system when they leave the facility.

Inmates will be permitted to make collect calls to their loved ones. Collect calls will incur a charge that is the recipient's responsibility to pay. When an inmate makes a collect call, they will only be allowed to call landline numbers as cell phones do not support collect calls.

All calls are limited to 15-minutes. There can be absolutely no use of any sort of call features such as call waiting, three-way calling, or call forwarding.
