Richmond County Inmate Population is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release someone, post bail, pull official booking records, change a court date, or speak for NYC DOC, the courts, DOCCS, BOP, ICE, or any other agency.
Where to Ask
Richmond County does not have a separate sheriff-run jail records desk for criminal custody. Staten Island defendants who remain in custody after arraignment are usually handled through the New York City Department of Correction, while court dates and charge records are handled by the New York State Unified Court System.

- For a current NYC DOC custody search, start with jail inmate records and the DOC Person in Custody Lookup.
- For booking-photo questions, read jail roster mugshots before assuming a public photo exists.
- For charges filed after a Staten Island arrest, use court records after a jail arrest, WebCriminal, and the Richmond court clerk contacts above.
- For release notification from NYC DOC custody, use NYC VINE or call 888-846-3469.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the New York State DOCCS lookup or call DOCCS at 518-457-8126 during weekday business hours.
- For federal custody, use the BOP inmate locator or the U.S. Marshals Eastern District of New York office at 718-473-3000.
