Elmira Correctional Facility
State Prison | Chemung County County — New York | New York Department of Corrections
Elmira Correctional Facility is located in the city of Elmira, New York which has a population of 29,200 (as of 2015) residents. This prison has a capacity of 1,796 inmates, which means this is the maximum amount of beds per facility. Elmira Correctional Facility began processing inmates once the original construction was completed and service started in 1876 but may have been expanded or renovated since that time, to accommodate the growing prison population. Prisoners are housed in separate areas depending on the crimes they committed, their current risk assessment, and their behavior. This facility is currently under the supervision of Ronald Miles and houses male offenders.
If you have a family or loved one that is currently incarcerated at Elmira Correctional Facility, the first thing you should do is contact the prison for information on the inmate.

Many correctional facilities let families send books and magazines to an inmate — but almost all of them require the items to be brand-new and shipped directly from the retailer. Anything sent secondhand or repackaged at home is usually rejected at the mailroom. Ordering from a retailer that ships direct is the standard way to get reading material in.
- Must ship new, directly from the retailer — you can't forward it yourself.
- Softcover / paperback only at most facilities (hardcovers are commonly banned).
- No used or third-party marketplace sellers — new copies only.
- Limits on quantity per package and how many packages may be pending.
- Address it to the inmate's full committed name and ID number.
- Use the facility's mailroom address, which can differ from the public address.
