Which system is holding them?
There is no single search that covers everyone in Bronx County. Match the situation to the right official locator — most families start with the first one.
If the arrest was recent
Start with the county jail
A recent arrest in Bronx County almost always means the county jail listed above, run by the local sheriff — not a state prison. Check that jail’s roster or search VINELink; if the booking is only a few hours old, call the jail’s booking desk.
If they were sentenced to prison
Use the state prison locator
Once a person is sentenced, they move from the county jail into the New York Department of Corrections. Search the state inmate locator by name or ID — a county jail roster will not show a sentenced prisoner.
If the charge is federal
Search the Federal Bureau of Prisons
A federal charge means federal custody — a separate system from any New York county or state facility. Search the Federal Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator by name or register number.
Nearby counties in New York
If the arrest happened just across a county line, these New York counties are closest to Bronx County. Open one for its jails and the exact official locators to search.
If you need to bail them out in New York
Finding the person comes first. Once you know where they are being held, this is how getting them out works in New York.
Commercial bail available
In New York, commercial bail exists. If a judge sets money bail, it can be posted in cash directly with the court or through a licensed bail bond agent for a fee. A judge may also release the person on their own recognizance or on conditions, so ask the court or the jail what applies before paying anyone.
The person’s rights. The person in custody has the right to talk to a lawyer about their case, and if they cannot afford one, the court can appoint a public defender.
If there is also a warrant to deal with
Two companion guides pick up where this one leaves off — checking for a warrant, and resolving it on your own terms.
Common questions about finding someone in Bronx County
How do I find someone who was just arrested in Bronx County?
Someone just arrested in Bronx County is usually held at ANNA M KROSS CENTER or BEACH AVENUE BOYS INTAKE CENTER, run by the local sheriff. Check that jail’s roster or VINELink; if the booking is only hours old, call the jail’s booking desk. A brand-new arrest will not appear on the state prison locator.
How do I find someone in state prison from Bronx County?
Once a person is sentenced they move into the New York Department of Corrections. Search the state inmate locator by name or ID number — it is separate from the Bronx County jail and from the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
Is there a free way to check if someone is in custody in New York?
Yes. VINELink, the free national custody service, covers New York: search by name and register for free alerts. County jail rosters, the state locator, and the Federal BOP are all free and official too. Skip paid inmate-search and mugshot sites.
How does bail work for someone held in Bronx County?
Commercial bail exists in New York: if a judge sets money bail, it can be posted in cash with the court or through a licensed bail bond agent for a fee, and a judge may also grant release on recognizance or on conditions.
