Correctional Facilities in New York City
Here is a chart of prisons, jails, and other locked facilities in the five boroughs of New York City and whether general library service is available to their prisoners. This chart is a work in progress. If you have additional information about existing library service, outreach programming to one of these facilities, or good contacts for outreach, please let us know. We may be able to make the chart manipulable online in the future, but for now just e-mail your updates and corrections to Jessica Ross at mailto:jross@nypl.org.
