How to Find an Inmate in Fulton Prison

Finding an inmate in prison is simple.

The simplest way to locate an inmate housed in Fulton Correctional Facility is to perform an inmate search through the New York State Department of Correctional Services' website. Fulton prison is one of 70 New York State run prisons. It's a minimum security facility that houses male inmates and is located in the Bronx. Once you have located the inmate you will have the inmate's identification number, also known as his DIN. The DIN is important because all inmate mail must be clearly labeled with the inmate's name and DIN.

Instructions

1. Visit the "Inmate Population Information Search" at the New York Department of Correctional Services website.

2. Include as much information as possible into the search form. The form has locations for the inmate's first and last name, as well as his DIN number and birth year. Press the "Submit" button. A list of inmates matching the search criteria will appear.

3. Click on the DIN number associated with the prisoner. The inmate's information is displayed on a new page.

4. Write down or print the inmate's DIN number and full name. The inmate information page contains the inmate's race, sex, birth date, current location, release date and the charges of which he was convicted.
