The Essex Co Jail is a detention center located at 702 Stowersville Rd Lewis, NY which is operated locally by the Essex County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Essex County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Lewis Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.

New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals. You can see all the arrest records for New York here.

Inmates who are incarcerated here are both sentenced and un-sentenced. The Jail holds all inmates, male or female, 16 years old and older. The crimes can be anything from traffic infractions to violent felonies. If the inmate is sentenced to jail time, he/she will serve their time at the Essex County Jail for up to one year. If the sentence is longer, the inmate will be transferred to NYS Department of Corrections. All inmates in State Prisons start their court-imposed sentences in County Jails.

Members of the Essex County Sheriff’s Office will transport the inmate to the next court date and any subsequent dates.

Medical treatment will be provided to the inmate as needed and prescribed by the Facility Doctor.
