This is a private reference site, not a Washington County government office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bail, schedule jail visits, or retrieve official booking records. For official action, contact the government office that holds the record.
Where to Check First
For a current county-jail custody question, start with the Washington County Sheriff's Office and the Washington County Correctional Facility. The official jail address is 399 Broadway, Fort Edward, NY 12828. The Sheriff's main phone is 518-746-2475. Non-emergency dispatch is 518-747-4623, and the county switchboard is 518-746-2100. Research for this build did not locate public jail records-unit hours, so callers should ask the Sheriff's Office how booking-record or custody requests are handled before visiting.
Records may also sit outside the jail. The Washington County Clerk, Lisa J. Boyce, uses the county municipal center at 383 Broadway, Building A, Fort Edward, NY 12828, and the Clerk page points public-record users to SearchIQS and court-record users to the New York State Unified Court System. The District Attorney's Office is at 383 Broadway, Building C, Fort Edward, NY 12828, phone 518-746-2525, and is useful when a felony case update or prosecution office contact is needed.
- For a person believed to be in the county jail, use the jail inmate records page and verify with the Sheriff's Office when timing matters.
- For booking photos, use the jail roster mugshots page, then ask the records-holding office about availability.
- For charges filed after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and the New York court search channels.
- For facility-specific details, use the Washington County Correctional Facility and Washington Correctional Facility pages linked in the footer.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the New York State DOCCS incarcerated lookup rather than the county jail channel.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator or the ICE detainee locator.
When requesting agency records in New York, identify the office that maintains the record and describe the record as clearly as possible. New York Freedom of Information Law is in Public Officers Law Article 6, and Section 87 is the main access-to-agency-records provision. Some records may be withheld or redacted under statutory exemptions.
