The New York Department of Corrections has made it super easy and even extremely convenient to find out information on an inmate who is housed in the Attica State Prison.

You can find the inmate roster on the New York Department of Corrections site. You will be able to search the database using the following pieces of information:

• Inmate’s Full Name

• SID Number

Keep in mind that this database is updated on a regular basis, but if you feel as if this information is not correct, you should contact the Attica State Prison directly.

Want to make an inmate's day while they are serving time in the Attica State Prison? Send them a handwritten letter.

Inmates are permitted to send and receive letters from their loved ones back home.

You will need to keep in mind that all written letters will be opened and examined by an Attica State Prison staff member.

You can send a letter to the following address:

Inmate Name, ID Number

Attica State Prison

639 Exchange Street, Attica, NY, 14011-0149

Inmates can receive care packages as well, but you will need to get prior approval from the Attica State Prison before you send the package, or it will be sent directly back to you.

Has your loved one asked you to send them money, so they can purchase things from the commissary or be able to use the telephone?

The Attica State Prison has made it easy for you to send inmate money. You can do so by using the infamous JPay service.

The JPay service does charge you a service fee, but the inmate will typically receive the funds you send within one to three business days. Most of the time, they will receive the money within the day you send it.

You will be able to send funds over the phone, online, or in person. This makes it as easy as possible for you to send money from anywhere you are located

The Attica State Prison permits the inmates to use the telephones at their own expense. Inmates will have the chance to make 15-minute calls home. These calls are subjected to be monitored.

Inmates in the Attica State Prison can also receive visitors as well.

Inmates who are in the behavioral health unit, infirmary, death row unit, segregation unit, or the intermediate care housing unit can have visitors only be appointments.

To schedule an appointment for an inmate in one of the above units, you can call 585-591-2000 between Monday through Thursday during the hours of 7 am to 2 pm.
