FCI Otisville Overview
FCI Otisville is operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons in Orange County. The BOP describes it as a medium-security federal correctional institution with an adjacent minimum-security satellite camp. It holds male federal prisoners. It is not the Orange County Jail, and it is not the New York State DOCCS facility called Otisville Correctional Facility.
Federal custody has its own rules and records. BOP searches use register numbers, federal names, demographic fields, release dates, and BOP location/status information. County booking numbers, local bail, VINELink county jail records, and DOCCS DIN searches do not apply to FCI Otisville. A federal defendant who has not yet entered BOP custody may need federal court or U.S. Marshals routing rather than the public BOP locator.
The BOP official FCI Otisville page is the main public source for institution information, facility notices, handbooks, legal activities, commissary resources, PREA information, and visiting procedure links.
The facility screenshot connects FCI Otisville content to BOP sources rather than county jail or DOCCS records.
FCI Otisville Population
BOP public data gives the strongest current facility population detail located in the research. The BOP endpoint reported 984 total inmates on June 18, 2026, with 891 at FCI Otisville and 93 at the adjacent camp. These figures are federal facility counts. They are separate from Orange County Jail census figures and DOCCS state prison population records.
The same BOP public data describes the facility as male, in the Northeast region, and in the Southern District of New York. Public BOP metadata also lists the physical address, staff mailing address, inmate mail routing, contact phone, fax, and an executive assistant email. Those operational facts make the BOP page and endpoint the controlling sources for FCI Otisville records.
The BOP public data endpoint provides the population and metadata used for the federal facility figures.
The endpoint is useful for dated FCI Otisville population facts because it separates the FCI count from the camp count.
FCI Otisville Lookup
Use the BOP inmate locator for FCI Otisville. Do not use VINELink for federal prisoners housed at FCI Otisville, and do not use DOCCS unless the person is a New York state prisoner at a state facility. The BOP locator can search by register number or by name with demographic details. It does not publish federal mugshots.
- Open the BOP inmate locator and choose either register-number search or name search.
- Enter the federal register number if known, or enter name fields with age, race, and sex details where helpful.
- Review the public result for register number, name, release date or status, and location.
- Confirm that the location is FCI Otisville or the Otisville camp before using facility-specific mail or visit rules.

FCI Otisville Contact
FCI Otisville has separate physical, inmate mail, and staff mail addresses. The BOP page lists the public phone and the BOP endpoint lists a fax and contact email.

FCI Otisville Visits
FCI Otisville visiting is governed by BOP rules and the facility visiting procedures PDF linked from the BOP institution page. The research notes that BOP warns visitors to confirm visiting before departure because wardens may restrict or cancel visits for safety, security, severe weather, or institutional incidents. The public JSON endpoint returned no day-by-day entries in the visitDays array, so exact hours should come from the current PDF or facility confirmation.

|---|---|
| Schedule | Use the current Otisville visiting procedures PDF and BOP page. |
| Confirmation | Call 845-386-6700 before departure. |
| Visitor approval | Follow BOP and facility procedures. |
| Security changes | Warden restrictions, weather, or incidents can affect visits. |

FCI Otisville Mail
BOP mail rules require correct federal inmate identity. The research lists inmate mail and parcels for FCI Otisville as the inmate name and register number, FCI Otisville, Federal Correctional Institution, P.O. Box 1000, Otisville, NY 10963. Camp mail also uses P.O. Box 1000 with the camp designation. Staff mail uses P.O. Box 600. Do not send money to the facility address.
BOP funds are handled through federal inmate money procedures. The research notes that federal inmate funds sent through the mail go to a processing center in Des Moines, Iowa, and electronic deposit options are governed by BOP communications and money rules. Use current BOP instructions before sending funds because facility mail and money rules are strict.

FCI Otisville Records
FCI Otisville federal records answer a different question than a local arrest record. The BOP locator confirms public federal custody location and release status. It does not show a public federal mugshot, county jail booking number, local bail amount, or Orange County court calendar. If a federal criminal case is still pending and the person has not reached BOP custody, the public BOP locator may not be enough.
ICE custody is also separate. ICE lists Orange County Jail as a detention facility, but that does not make FCI Otisville an ICE locator source. Immigration detainee searches use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System. State prisoners use DOCCS. County jail detainees use VINELink and Orange County Jail channels. Keeping these systems separate prevents false no-match results.
About FCI Otisville
FCI Otisville is a major federal custody point inside Orange County. Its BOP page also links federal facility resources such as an admissions and orientation handbook, commissary list, legal activities document, and PREA report. Those federal documents are stronger sources for facility conditions and rules than county jail pages or state prison pages.
The local point that matters most is the name overlap. FCI Otisville and Otisville Correctional Facility are both in the Otisville area, but one is federal and one is state. Orange County Jail is in Goshen. Each uses a different inmate lookup, mail path, and visiting system.
Note: Confirm BOP custody and FCI Otisville visiting status before sending mail, money, or traveling.
