The Oneida Co Jail is a detention center located at 6075 Judd Rd Oriskany, NY which is operated locally by the Oneida County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Oneida County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Oriskany Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.

New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals.

The Oneida County Correctional Facility, also known as the Oneida County Jail, has been a cornerstone of the county’s correctional system for over two centuries, adapting to evolving standards of inmate care and facility infrastructure. From 1996 to 1998, the facility underwent a comprehensive $30 million renovation and expansion, increasing its capacity to house up to 634 inmates.

The facility serves a diverse inmate population, including pre-trial detainees awaiting court proceedings, individuals serving county jail sentences for various offenses, and those convicted of felonies awaiting transfer to state or federal correctional facilities. Additionally, 35 beds are allocated for federal prisoners who are either in transit or attending local federal court proceedings.

After processing, inmates are assigned to a housing area based on classification. Compliance with jail rules typically results in a lower classification and more privileges, while rule violations or additional charges lead to a higher classification and fewer privileges. Inmates serving as trustees within the jail undertake various tasks, including cooking, laundry, and commissary management, often receiving minimal compensation or sentence reduction for their services.

The Inmate Services Unit plays a crucial role in implementing, coordinating, and monitoring various facility programs, utilizing both in-house resources and community partnerships to support inmates in fostering positive change. These efforts aim to enhance self-awareness, improve morale, stimulate intellectual growth, uphold dignity, and reduce recidivism. Upon admission, Inmate Services Unit Staff conduct intake interviews, gathering information on personal and family background, criminal history, substance use, and medical and mental health concerns to develop tailored strategies for inmate interaction and program recommendations.

The jail offers a phone program for outbound calls only, with inmates unable to receive incoming calls. Accepting collect calls can be expensive, sometimes exceeding $10 per call. Alternatively, setting up an account through a third-party phone company may entail high fees per minute of usage. Click here for discounts on inmate calls, especially if the communication with your inmate is frequent. It's important to remember that all phone calls are recorded, and discussing sensitive legal matters over these lines is discouraged.

Books and magazines ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. The Jail enforces this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.

The facility offers specialized support through a Certified Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor who conducts assessments, facilitates community treatment program referrals, and coordinates self-help meetings, including the Intensive Corrections Addictions Residential Education Program. Additionally, facility clergy provide weekly religious services, visit housing units, offer individual consultations, and work with inmates' families and significant others to support their reintegration journey.

Correction Officers at the Oneida County Correctional Facility are entrusted with maintaining security, supervision, safety, and care for all inmates, regardless of their legal status. These duties are guided by stringent state, federal, and local regulations that oversee all aspects of inmate management, such as admission and discharge procedures, classification, medical and food services, security protocols, visitation, transportation, and staff training.

Modernization has transformed the facility's infrastructure, transitioning from traditional cell blocks to modular pods and electronic door systems. Manual record-keeping has been replaced by advanced networked computer systems, enhancing data management efficiency and accuracy. The introduction of tactical teams, improved safety protocols, and upgraded medical and mental health services have further aligned the facility with contemporary correctional standards.

Despite these changes, the role of the Correction Officer remains a central and constant element, ensuring the orderly operation of the facility, safeguarding inmate welfare, and upholding rigorous standards of safety and security. The dedication and professionalism of these officers continue to be the foundation of the Oneida County Correctional Facility’s commitment to serving the community. Further details on the Correction Division’s operations can be found through the available informational resources.

Inmate workers are chosen based on conduct and cooperation with staff. Participation in the community service program can sometimes reduce sentences. Commissary is available weekly, with orders submitted via kiosk two days in advance. On holidays, there may be increased spending limits. Upon receiving commissary items, inmates must present their ID, check their order, and sign for it in the presence of the commissary employee. Indigent inmates are provided with all essential basic hygiene items including USPS stamps and writing materials.
