Find Released Inmates in Greenburgh
Greenburgh released inmates records are handled by the Westchester County Department of Correction and the New York DOCCS system. Greenburgh is a large town in Westchester County with about 95,000 residents, located just north of New York City. People arrested here go to the Westchester County jail in Valhalla. The county does not have a public online inmate database, so checking on someone's status means calling the facility or using state-level search tools. DOCCS and VINE are the main free resources for tracking releases from state custody.
Greenburgh Overview
Westchester County Handles Greenburgh Released Inmates
Greenburgh is in Westchester County. The Westchester County Department of Correction operates the county jail at 10 Woods Road in Valhalla. This is where people from Greenburgh go after arrest. The department handles booking, housing, and release processing for the entire county.
Westchester County is different from most New York counties because the jail is run by a county department of correction rather than the sheriff. The department still follows New York Correction Law. They maintain custody records, manage inmate classifications, and process releases when bail is posted, a sentence ends, or a judge orders it.

Westchester County does not have a public online inmate lookup tool. This means you cannot search for current inmates or released inmates through a website. To check on someone's custody status, you need to call the facility at (914) 231-1000. Have the person's full name and date of birth ready. Staff can look them up and tell you if they are in custody or have been released.
People held at the county level are typically awaiting trial or serving sentences under one year. If someone gets a sentence of more than one year, they transfer to the state prison system. DOCCS then takes over their records and tracking. The county no longer holds data on the person after that transfer.
How to Search Released Inmates in Greenburgh
Since Westchester County does not have an online inmate database, you will rely more on state tools and phone calls to find released inmates from Greenburgh.
The DOCCS Incarcerated Lookup covers the state prison system. Search by name to see if someone is currently held in a state facility. If they have been released from prison, the Parolee Lookup will show their parole status. Both tools are free and you can use them without creating an account.
The Criminal History Record Search pulls court records from across New York. It shows cases from Westchester County, including charges, convictions, and sentences. Records are public under New York Judiciary Law unless a judge has sealed them. This tool helps confirm if someone had a case and what the outcome was.
Call the Westchester County DOC at (914) 231-1000 for local jail information. Ask about the person by name. Staff can confirm whether they are in custody. If the person is not there, they may have been released, transferred to the state, or bonded out.
The Sex Offender Registry tracks registrants under New York Correction Law Article 6-C. It is a separate database run by the Division of Criminal Justice Services. Photos, addresses, and offense details are all public.
VINE Released Inmates Notifications
VINE is a free tool that sends you alerts when an inmate is released. It works for county jails and state prisons across New York. You can sign up for phone, email, or text notifications.
Go to vinelink.com and select New York. Search for the person by name or ID number. Register for notifications once you find the right record. VINE sends the alert automatically when custody status changes. This covers releases, transfers, and escapes.
Since Westchester County lacks a public inmate lookup, VINE is especially useful for Greenburgh residents. It gives you real-time updates without needing to call the jail repeatedly.
There is no fee. You do not have to explain why you want the notification. VINE is run by Appriss Safety and connects to correctional systems across all 62 New York counties and every state prison.
Requesting Released Inmates Records Through FOIL
Under Public Officers Law Article 6, you can file a FOIL request for inmate records with the Westchester County Department of Correction. This can include booking records, charges, release dates, and other custody details.
Submit a written request to the department. They have five business days to respond or provide a timeline. Some information may be redacted under privacy exemptions. Copy fees may apply. For state prison records, send your FOIL request to DOCCS.
Historical prison records are available through the New York State Archives. Federal inmates are tracked through the Bureau of Prisons inmate locator, which is separate from both the county and state systems.
