Mohawk Correctional Facility Prison Lookup

Mohawk Correctional Facility Overview

Mohawk Correctional Facility is operated by the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision. The research identifies it as a medium-security male facility in Rome, within Oneida County. The official address is 6514 Rt. 26, P.O. Box 8450, Rome, NY 13442, and incarcerated individual mail is routed to P.O. Box 8451. The main line is (315) 339-5232. The superintendent listed in the research is Reginald Bishop.

Mohawk is one of three DOCCS medium-security male prisons in Oneida County, along with Marcy and Mid-State. It also has a research note about an RMU population on the visitation page. That makes facility confirmation especially important. A person held at the county jail after an arrest may appear on the Sheriff's inmate list, but a sentenced person placed at Mohawk should be searched through DOCCS. Court records, jail booking records, and state-prison custody records may describe the same person at different stages, but they are not interchangeable systems.

Mohawk Correctional Facility Capacity and Population

The official DOCCS source material captured for Mohawk did not provide a current population count or rated capacity. The facility should therefore be described with the sourced details that are available: DOCCS operator, medium-security level, male state-prison population, Rome location, and RMU visitation note. The county jail capacity in the research belongs to the Oneida County Correctional Facility in Oriskany and should not be applied to Mohawk.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Mohawk Correctional Facility

Use the DOCCS incarcerated lookup for Mohawk Correctional Facility. DOCCS search instructions allow last name by itself or with birth year. DIN and NYSID are searched alone. When a result appears, confirm the facility field before relying on Mohawk visiting hours or mail details. If the person was recently in Oneida County jail, a transfer delay may mean the local roster and DOCCS lookup do not update at the exact same time.

For notification rather than primary lookup, New York VINELink can be used as a custody-monitoring supplement. It does not replace the DOCCS lookup for Mohawk facility placement, DIN or NYSID searching, or state-prison release information. When records disagree, confirm with the official system that controls the person at that stage of custody.

1. Open the DOCCS incarcerated lookup rather than the Oneida County inmate list.
2. Search with last name, or use last name plus birth year when the name is common.
3. Search by DIN or NYSID alone if one of those identifiers is available.
4. Confirm the current facility says Mohawk Correctional Facility before planning a visit or sending mail.

Mohawk Correctional Facility Address and Contact

Mohawk's official contact details are facility-specific and should be used for state-prison questions. Mail for incarcerated individuals uses the P.O. Box 8451 address from the research, not the main facility box and not the county jail digital-mail center. For current custody and transfer information, begin with DOCCS lookup and then contact the facility when the issue is Mohawk-specific.

Visiting Someone at Mohawk Correctional Facility

Mohawk visitation follows DOCCS state-prison rules and the facility-specific schedule. The research gives visitation information effective 01/01/2026: weekend visitation runs from 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM, with latest arrival at 2:30 PM. SHU custody individuals are allowed one non-legal visit within a seven-day period during regular visitation hours and days. Maximum visits per day are listed as unlimited, and the maximum number of visitors per visit is three visitors plus one child under five sitting on an adult's lap.

The Mohawk page has an additional RMU note. Incarcerated individuals in the RMU are allowed one visit on weekends, alternating Saturdays and Sundays during regular visiting hours. The research also notes Walsh RMU visitation alternating Saturdays and Sundays. Visitors should confirm the DIN last-digit schedule, RMU status if relevant, approval status, dress rules, and current DOCCS instructions before traveling to Rome.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Mohawk Correctional Facility

Mohawk uses DOCCS state-prison mail and deposit rules. The research lists incarcerated individual mail as P.O. Box 8451. DOCCS account deposits use JPay and MoneyGram. Deposit options in the research include JPay online, JPay mobile app, phone deposits at 1-800-574-5729, mail to JPay Lockbox, and MoneyGram with Receive Code 1317. The captured fee table identifies a $4 MoneyGram cash fee for deposits from $0.01 to $2,999.99 and no fee for mailed JPay check or money order deposits up to $999.99.

Reception and Transfer at Mohawk Correctional Facility

Mohawk is a state-prison placement, not a street-arrest booking desk. Local booking for Oneida County happens through police and, when custody is ordered, the Oneida County Correctional Facility. The Sheriff's Records Correction Unit handles local commitments, court dates, charge updates, bails, state-prison commitments, and release confirmation for the county jail. After sentencing and DOCCS transfer, state custody records take over. Mohawk housing, visits, mail, deposits, and program access are managed through DOCCS.

This is a common source of confusion after a local arrest. A person may leave the Oneida County inmate list because of release, court movement, or transfer. If the case resulted in a state-prison sentence, check DOCCS before assuming the person is no longer in custody. Court records explain the conviction and sentence, while DOCCS explains current prison placement.

About Mohawk Correctional Facility

The Mohawk official DOCCS page links PREA audit reports, including Cycle 4 dated June 23, 2025. The research identifies those official audits as the safest facility-condition documents to cite for the state-prison pages. Mohawk is part of Oneida County's unusually dense correctional landscape, which includes the county jail in Oriskany, DOCCS facilities at Marcy, Mid-State, and Mohawk, Central New York Psychiatric Center, and STARC-Oakview. Each has a different operator and records boundary.

Mohawk's Rome address also separates it from the Old River Road facilities in Marcy. Use the specific Mohawk address and P.O. Box for mail or travel planning, and confirm any RMU-related visiting rule before using the general weekend schedule.
