Madison County Busted Mugshots is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody or release status, release a person, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Please use the government contacts below for those matters.
Official Madison County Routing
For Sheriff services, contact the Madison County Sheriff’s Office, 138 North Court Street, Building 7, Wampsville, NY 13163. Its stated office hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; the office number is 315-366-2318 and the 24/7 non-emergency line is 315-366-2311. For an emergency, call 911. Questions directed to the jail’s Correction Division may be routed through 315-366-2300.
For a county record request, use the Madison County FOIL page or the online FOIL portal. The Records Access Officer is Jennifer Cossette, Madison County Board of Supervisors, PO Box 635, Wampsville, NY 13163; phone 315-366-2201; email foil@madisoncounty.ny.gov. The county states that it responds within five business days and charges $0.25 per page when a request is eight or more pages. Ask the officer to route a booking-record or booking-photo request to the appropriate custodian and to state any fee or exemption that applies.
Choose the contact path based on the kind of information needed. An arrest or booking is an accusation, not proof of guilt, and court records are the place to check the outcome.
- For a custody status or notification, begin with the county-linked VINELink route and use Correction at 315-366-2300 when a jail contact is needed.
- For a booking record or a potentially releasable photo, use Jennifer Cossette and the county FOIL route rather than assuming that a record is public online.
- For the county’s search, booking-record, and recent-arrest paths, see the Madison County guide.
- For active-warrant information or a wanted listing, use the official path described on Wanted Fugitives; independently dial the Sheriff’s published number rather than trusting an incoming payment demand.
- For a person sentenced to state prison, use the official New York DOCCS lookup, which is separate from county jail custody.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the official BOP inmate locator or ICE detainee locator, not the Madison County system.
