Purpose of the Site
New York treats many jail, court, and inmate records as public records, but the records are not stored in one Herkimer County database. The Herkimer County Sheriff's Office runs the local jail and custody phone line. The New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision runs the separate locator for sentenced state prisoners. Federal and immigration custody use still different tools. This site gathers those record paths, official contacts, visitation details, and request steps in one place.

Search Partners
Some pages include search boxes supplied by outside providers. Those providers control their own prices, terms, search coverage, and result displays. If a visitor chooses a paid partner tool after clicking through, this site may receive a referral fee. That support helps keep the reference pages free to read, but it does not give this site control over partner records or partner billing.
