This is a private reference site, not an Orange County government office. It cannot confirm current custody, release a person from jail, post bond, schedule visitation, pull an official booking record, or obtain court paperwork. Use the official channels below for those requests.
Official Places to Start
For local jail custody questions, the official jail contact published by Orange County is:
Orange County Jail
110 Wells Farm Road
Goshen, NY 10924
845-291-7713
Public lobby or records hours were not located in the research file. Call before traveling.
The jail is operated by the Orange County Sheriff's Office, led in the research file by Sheriff Paul Arteta. For county public-record requests that are not answered by a custody lookup, use the Orange County FOIL page. For criminal charges after an arrest, the Orange County District Attorney's Office is led in the research file by David M. Hoovler, but court searches and court clerks are the usual path for case records.
- For someone believed to be in Orange County Jail, start with jail inmate records, then use VINELink New York at https://vinelink.vineapps.com/search/NY/Person or call 845-291-7713 for recent intake or release questions.
- For booking photographs, read jail roster mugshots. Orange County did not have a confirmed public county-run mugshot gallery in the research file, so a focused FOIL request may be needed.
- For charges filed after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest, New York WebCrims, and the appropriate court clerk rather than the jail roster.
- For facility-specific information, use the facility pages for Orange County Jail, Otisville Correctional Facility, and FCI Otisville listed in the footer.
- For a sentenced New York state prisoner, use the DOCCS incarcerated lookup at https://doccs.ny.gov/incarcerated-lookup.
- For a federal prisoner, use the BOP inmate locator at https://www.bop.gov/inmateloc/. For immigration detention, use ICE ODLS at https://locator.ice.gov/odls/.
Orange County's FOIL page is the official county route for public-record requests: https://www.orangecountygov.com/1039/Freedom-of-Information-Law-FOIL-Informat. A useful request names the agency, person, record type, date range, booking or case number if known, and preferred delivery format. New York FOIL is found in Public Officers Law Article 6, including sections 87 and 89, and records can be withheld or redacted when an exemption applies.
