How to Connect With Your Loved Ones at Ulster Correctional Facility

is in Naponich, New York. The New York Department of Corrections and Community Supervision operates this medium-security facility.

The prison serves as an intake and processing center for new inmates (male adults) in the state. Therefore, most inmates spend only a few weeks in the institution before being transferred into more permanent facilities.

While the facility provides a wide range of programs, most inmates go through just a few of them because of the short incarceration duration. They include Anger Management, Recreational, Trauma, Family Development, and Veterans Services.
