The Ontario Co Jail is a detention center located at 3045 County Complex Dr Canandiagua, NY which is operated locally by the Ontario 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. Ontario County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Canandiagua 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.

The Ontario County Jail, operating under the Office of the Sheriff, aligns its mission with the broader goals of the department and the community it serves. Emphasizing a symbiotic relationship between the jail and the community, the correctional staff, support personnel, and service providers are dedicated to upholding community standards while promoting safety, security, and opportunities for rehabilitation. Core values such as respect, responsibility, honesty, and compassion guide their efforts, reinforced by the Direct Supervision operational model.

The Corrections Division is tasked with operating a detention facility that adheres to the mandates of the New York State Corrections Law and regulations set forth by the New York State Commission of Corrections.

Visitors may only schedule a visit for themselves. You will not be allowed to schedule another visitor to see an inmate. Please remember that once a visit is scheduled, it cannot be canceled. The visitation spot will be held until a quarter to the hour. If the scheduled visitor does not show, another person will be allowed to visit, if at the facility by quarter to the hour.

Note: A two-hour visitation will take up an inmate’s weekend of visitation in one day, rather than one hour per weekend day. You can make an appointment by calling (585) 396-1800 or (315) 781-1966, or in person at the jail lobby.
