This is a private reference site, not a Genesee County government office. It cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release a person, post bond, schedule a visit, pull an official booking record, certify a record, or answer for the Sheriff's Office, jail, courts, DOCCS, BOP, or ICE. Use the official contacts below for those actions.

Use the following paths depending on the type of custody or record involved.
- For a person believed to be in the county jail, use jail inmate records guidance and call Genesee County Jail at (585) 343-0838.
- For booking photos or photo-release questions, review jail roster mugshots and use the Sheriff's Records Division or FOIL process when a releasable record is not online.
- For charges, court dates, or case identifiers after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and the New York court search paths.
- For facility-specific information, check the pages for Genesee County Jail and the Buffalo (Batavia) Service Processing Center.
- For a sentenced New York state prisoner, search the New York State DOCCS incarcerated lookup rather than the county jail.
- For federal criminal custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator. For immigration detention in Batavia, use ICE's Online Detainee Locator System or call the Buffalo (Batavia) Service Processing Center at (585) 344-6500.
