This facility is for adult inmates.

The inmates housed at Wallkill Correctional Facility located at 50 McKendrick Rd in Wallkill, 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.

The Wallkill Correctional Facility is a medium security prison in New York state in the United States. The prison is located just north of the hamlet of Wallkill, in the Town of Shawangunk.

The prison opened in 1933, in the form of a collegiate campus with no surrounding wall or fence. Connected three-story English Gothic buildings of gray stone. Wallkill was once only used to house "Good Behavior/White Collar" inmates. Due to changing times, the inmate population has changed and first-time offenders now begin and end their sentences at Wallkill CF. The one-time "Prison without a Wall," is no more — in the 21st-century chain-link fencing and razor wire was constructed around the perimeter — but it remains a free-movement facility.

Wallkill has the capacity to detain about 600 inmates and is one of the few facilities that does not contain a Special Housing Unit. This facility participates in the Correctional Industries program which allows select inmates to work in an optical shop, learning how to manufacture and inspect eyeglass lenses; in order to be eligible for this program the inmate must have a diploma or GED and agree to stay in the program for at least ten months.

Wallkill Correctional Facility also offers vocational training in Horse Handling/Care, in building maintenance, and Horticulture. Inmates can receive alcohol and substance abuse treatment services during their incarceration.
