NYSDOC – Ogdensburg Correctional Facility basic information to help guide you through what you can do for your inmate while they are incarcerated. The facility's direct contact number: 315-393-0281
This facility is for adult inmates.
The inmates housed at Ogdensburg Correctional Facility located at One Correction Way in Ogdensburg, NY are placed according to their custody level (determined by a number of factors including the past criminal history and the length of their sentence). There are ample educational and vocational training programs for all inmates, especially ones that show a willingness to learn new things that will prepare them for a better life when they are released. The mission is to promote and prepare the offender to leave in better shape than when they arrived, giving them the best chance to never come back and thus lower the state's recidivism rate.
Ogdensburg Correctional Facility is a medium-security state prison for male prisoners, located in the northern part of St. Lawrence County, New York, United States. Ogdensburg CF is located in the northeast corner of Ogdensburg near the St. Lawrence River and is also used as a Federal Immigration Detention Facility for Immigration Court matters heard in Ulster County, New York.
The facility houses one of New York State’s centers for sex offenders civilly committed.
The prison operation took over the facilities of the former St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center (formerly, the Ogdensburg State Asylum for the Insane and the St. Lawrence State Hospital), where the famed model Audrey Munson was confined for 65 years. The structures were adapted for prison use in 1982. In addition, new housing units, built specifically for prison use, were completed in 1984.
Ogdensburg Correctional Facility offers vocational training in custodial/building maintenance, horticulture, masonry, and flooring. Substance abuse treatment service and AA are offered to inmates and are rewarded for full completion.
