This is a private reference site, not a Cortland County government office. We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release a person, post bond, pull official booking records, or correct an agency file. For those actions, contact the jail, court, sheriff records staff, FOIL office, or other source office directly.
Where to Check for Custody or Records
Use the office that matches the record you need. The sheriff's public inmate-search link routes to VINELink rather than a county-hosted roster with full booking profiles, so custody questions often require VINELink plus a call to the jail or booking office.

For common record needs, start with the matching page or office below.
- For someone who may be in the county jail, use jail inmate records, VINELink, and the jail phone line at 607-756-4275.
- For booking photos, read jail roster mugshots before assuming a public mugshot is posted online.
- For charges or court dates after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and the proper Cortland court clerk.
- For facility-specific details, use the detention facility page linked in the footer.
- For a sentenced New York state prisoner, use the New York State DOCCS incarcerated lookup, not the county jail line.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator, U.S. Marshals channels, or the ICE Online Detainee Locator as appropriate.
The Cortland County Sheriff app exists and may list inmate information, alerts, most-wanted items, sex-offender links, news, tips, and contact information. Do not assume a record is app-only unless the official source says so.
