Check Taconic Correctional Facility Inmates

Taconic Inmate Overview

Taconic Correctional Facility is a medium-security New York State DOCCS facility for females in Bedford Hills. The official facility page lists Superintendent Emily Williams, the facility address, the main line, visitation rules, programs, and PREA audit links. Taconic is one of three DOCCS prisons physically located in Westchester County, along with Sing Sing and Bedford Hills, but it is not a Westchester County Department of Correction jail division.

The state-prison distinction affects every lookup. A person at Taconic should be searched through DOCCS by DIN, NYSID, or name with birth year. Westchester County’s inmate public form is for WCDOC local custody. It may be useful before state sentencing, when a person is still held locally, or when a Westchester County jail record is needed. It is not the current custody source for Taconic.

The official Taconic facility page is the matching source for address, security level, superintendent, visiting days, and program categories.

The Taconic image ties the facility page to DOCCS, which is the correct lookup system for sentenced state-prison inmates in Westchester County.

Taconic DOCCS Lookup

Use the DOCCS incarcerated lookup to find a person at Taconic Correctional Facility. The research file documents search fields for last name, birth year, DIN, and NYSID. DIN and NYSID are state identifiers. They reduce confusion when a name is common or spelling is uncertain. A name search can still work when no identifier is available, especially if paired with birth year.

1. Open the DOCCS incarcerated lookup from the state corrections site.
2. Use DIN or NYSID if either state identifier is known.
3. Search by last name and birth year when only biographical information is available.
4. Review the listed facility and custody details to confirm Taconic placement.
5. Use VINE for custody notifications when release or transfer alerts are needed.

For county-level booking records after a Westchester arrest, start with Westchester County inmate records. For a sentenced person in Taconic, stay with DOCCS.

Taconic Address Contact

Taconic Correctional Facility contact information should be used for state-prison facility questions. Call the prison main line for facility routing, but use Westchester County DOC for local jail custody and Central Booking issues. A court docket, bail amount, or WCDOC JID number is a county jail issue unless the person has already moved into state custody and the question is now about DOCCS placement.

The official DOCCS page supplies this address and phone information. Use the Westchester County FOIL form only when the record sought is a county agency record, not a DOCCS prison record.

Taconic Visiting Schedule

The Taconic facility page lists visitation information effective 01/01/2026. Visiting days are weekends. Visiting hours are 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and latest arrival is 2:30 p.m. Weekend visitation is open to all incarcerated individuals with no name or DIN restrictions. The maximum number of visits is one per incarcerated individual per day and two per weekend. The maximum visitor count is three visitors plus one child under five who must sit on an adult’s lap.

Overcrowding policy follows the DOCCS structure described in the facility research: voluntary termination first, then first-in, first-out termination after three hours if space requires it.

Taconic Mail Money

Taconic mail, money, package, and phone procedures follow DOCCS state-prison rules. Westchester County Jail’s amended mail policy, Securus video visitation, TouchPay kiosk, iCare gifts, and package window are county jail rules. They should not be copied onto the Taconic page. The research file did not capture a current Taconic fee schedule, so no amount should be added without a current DOCCS source.

Note: When a person has moved from county custody to DOCCS, state facility rules control mail, money, and visits.

Taconic Capacity Population

Research found a 2018 PREA audit search-result reference to a designated Taconic capacity of 379, but the current DOCCS HTML facility page captured for this project did not publish a current population count or current official capacity figure. That means the 379 figure should be labeled as a historical audit reference, not a live current count. The official current page supports medium security, female population, address, superintendent, programs, and visiting rules.

Do not mix Taconic’s state-prison population with Westchester County Jail average daily population. They answer different questions and come from different correction systems.

Taconic is also close to Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, but proximity does not mean shared records. A DOCCS lookup result should be read for the exact facility name, because a transfer between state prisons changes visit planning, mail routing, and the facility contact point. County jail population reports do not show that movement.

Taconic Prison Programs

The Taconic facility page lists alcohol and substance abuse treatment, anger management, educational and vocational programs, family development, guidance and counseling, library and law library services, recreation, religious services, sex-offender treatment, temporary release, trauma programs, transitional services, veterans services, and volunteer programs. These programs are part of the DOCCS prison setting. They are separate from Westchester County Jail programs such as WCDOC medication assisted treatment, county education partners, and the Puppies on the Block program.

The program list is useful for family context, but it should not be treated as a custody locator. Program availability can depend on classification, sentence status, housing, discipline, medical clearance, and facility operations. The first step remains the DOCCS search result, followed by facility confirmation when a visit or mailing decision depends on current placement.
