Andrew P. Meloni STAR Academy Inmate Lookup

Andrew P. Meloni: STAR Academy Overview

Andrew P. Meloni: STAR Academy at the Monroe Correctional Facility is listed in the Monroe County facility map at 750 East Henrietta Road, Rochester, NY 14623. The operator is the Monroe County Sheriff's Office Jail Bureau. For this site's facility type, it is treated as a county correctional facility, work-release, or program facility connected to the sheriff's jail system. The available official research does not support calling it a state prison, a federal prison, or an ICE detention center.

The public information trail for STAR Academy is integrated with Monroe County Jail. The Sheriff's pages refer to people housed at both Monroe County Jail and Andrew P. Meloni: STAR Academy at the Monroe Correctional Facility when explaining visits, deposits, and photo-mail rules. The same public lookup framework applies: roster, census, received report, released report, jail information line, and public-records fallback. A separate STAR Academy roster was not located in official sources.

The Monroe County Sheriff's incarcerated-individual information page is the most useful public source for the shared visitation, Securus video visit, Access Corrections deposit, photo-mail, and PREA reporting rules that apply to Monroe County Jail and STAR Academy/MCF.

STAR Academy Capacity and Public Information Limits

The official Monroe County Jail Bureau capacity found in the research is 1,217 beds for the Sheriff's jail system. No separate official bed count for Andrew P. Meloni: STAR Academy at the Monroe Correctional Facility was located in the captured Monroe County or sheriff sources. Because of that gap, the accurate approach is to describe STAR Academy as part of the sheriff's 1,217-bed jail system while avoiding any invented facility-specific capacity.

The same limit applies to daily population. The New York DCJS Jail Population by Month report gives a Monroe County jail-system figure, not a separate STAR Academy headcount. The latest visible Monroe row in the research showed about 753 average daily census, with additional categories such as in-house, sentenced, civil, boarded-in, boarded-out, and other unsentenced. Those figures help explain the county system, but they should not be presented as a STAR-only count.

How to Look Up Someone at STAR Academy

Use the Monroe County Jail public report set to look up a person who may be housed at STAR Academy. The research did not locate a separate public STAR Academy roster. If the PDF report confirms custody but does not make the facility assignment clear, call the jail information line at 585-753-4300 and ask for current routing. Be prepared with the exact name spelling, date of birth if known, and any MCJ or JID number found in the reports.

1. Open the Monroe County Jail roster PDF and search the document for the person's last name or MCJ number.
2. Open the Monroe County Jail census PDF for detailed custody fields, court details, bail, bond, charge descriptions, and classification.
3. Use the received report PDF when the person was recently booked and may not be easy to find on the current roster.
4. Use the released report PDF when the person was listed earlier but no longer appears as a current inmate.
5. Call 585-753-4300 if the reports do not identify whether the person is at Monroe County Jail, STAR Academy/MCF, court, transport, release, or another custody status.

STAR Academy Address and Contact

The research found an official STAR Academy/Monroe Correctional Facility address, but did not locate a separate public facility-specific phone number. The safest published contact path is the Monroe County Sheriff's Jail Bureau and incarcerated individual information line. Use the address for visit planning only after confirming the visit location and appointment details.

Visiting Someone at STAR Academy

The Monroe County Sheriff's incarcerated-individual information page states that people housed at the Monroe County Jail and Andrew P. Meloni: STAR Academy at the Monroe Correctional Facility are permitted two one-hour visits each week by appointment. The same page supports treating STAR Academy visitation as part of the sheriff's shared jail visitation framework. Schedule in advance, arrive early, and confirm the exact facility location because Monroe has both the downtown jail and the East Henrietta Road correctional facility.

Visitors should call 585-753-4000 for Jail Visits or use the online visitation form when appropriate. Required details include the incarcerated person's last name, first name, ID number, date of birth, visitor name, visitor email, phone number, and desired visit time. Valid government-issued photo ID is required, minors need the permission form linked by the sheriff, and attire must be acceptable to staff.

Mail, Phone, and Money at STAR Academy

Access Corrections is the deposit vendor for the Monroe County sheriff's jail system, including the STAR Academy/MCF framework described in the research. The sheriff lists online and mobile deposits, toll-free phone deposits, and kiosks. The captured information specifically says kiosks are at both Monroe County Jail and STAR Academy/MCF, but visitors should still confirm where to enter before traveling because facility operations can change.

Photo-mail rules also reference both Monroe County Jail and STAR Academy/MCF. Effective September 3, 2021, photographs received through the incarcerated individual mail system are photocopied, the copies are provided to the incarcerated individual, and the originals are stored in property. Photos sent through named third-party vendors such as FreePrints, Walmart, Inmate Photos, or Shutterfly can be delivered to the property room, inspected, and distributed without photocopying. Captured official text did not provide a complete mail-format block for STAR Academy, so verify current mailing instructions before sending legal mail, personal mail, books, or photos.

STAR Academy Intake, Assignment, and Records Fallback

The public research does not describe STAR Academy as the first street-arrest booking point. Monroe County Jail is the main booking and custody hub for the sheriff's jail system, and the received report and census show booking and classification data in that system. STAR Academy appears in the official public material as a county correctional facility/program location tied to the same jail rules. A person may move within the county correctional system after booking, classification, court action, programming assignment, or other sheriff-controlled placement.

For records purposes, start with the current county PDFs and then use phone or FOIL routes. The roster gives the fastest public custody check, while the census provides the richer record fields. Those fields can include JID, sex, race, custody date and time, classification, booking data, bail, bond, court, judge, court date, arresting agency, arrest type, charge code, and charge description. The received and released reports help with timing around new admissions and exits.

If the facility assignment is unclear, call 585-753-4300 rather than assuming the person is downtown or on East Henrietta Road. If the need is a historical jail record instead of an immediate custody check, use Monroe County's FOIL request form. The county's FOIL page says requests may take 20 days or longer, so it is not a substitute for urgent visit, release, transport, or bond questions.

STAR Academy Is Not a State Prison

New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision handles sentenced state-prison custody, and its lookup is separate from Monroe County's jail reports. No active DOCCS prison physically in Monroe County was found in the DOCCS current facilities list. Rochester does have DOCCS parole-area offices at 350 South Avenue, but parole offices are not county jail facilities and do not make STAR Academy a state prison.

If someone was sentenced in a Monroe County case and transferred out of county custody, use the DOCCS Incarcerated Lookup. Search by DIN, NYSID, or last name with birth year. If the person is in federal prison, use the BOP Inmate Locator. If the issue is immigration custody, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System. Monroe County's jail census may show federal classifications or U.S. Marshals-related language when a person is held locally, but that is still different from being housed in a federal prison.

Programs, Reentry, and Conditions Context

The sheriff's program materials are system-wide and should be read as Monroe County Jail Bureau programming unless staff confirms a specific program location. The Department of Incarcerated Individual Rehabilitation and Programs coordinates counseling, treatment, education, recreation, religious programming, and reentry services. The research names Director of Rehabilitation Jennifer Rivers, Director of Incarcerated Individual Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Joel Yager, Director of Religious Programs Josh Lynd, and Supervisor of Rehabilitation Services Melissa Arena.

Education services include Rochester City School District programming for incarcerated people under 21, with GED, life skills, ESOL, and high school instruction for students returning to regular school after release. Adult GED education is also provided for male and female incarcerated individuals. The law library provides required criminal and civil legal-reference materials, notary services, and assistance locating legal references. A web-based law-library research engine on tablets began in 2020, with additional printed research supplied by law library staff.

Chemical dependency programming has operated since 1994. The program includes education about the link between drug use and behavior, credentialed counselors, and access for sentenced and unsentenced people. Available group topics include chemical dependency, chemical dependency and mental health, AA/NA, anger management, parenting, coping skills, relapse prevention, healthy relationships, medication-assisted-treatment awareness, trauma awareness, and reentry referrals to community providers.

Oversight remains under New York's local-jail framework. Correction Law section 45 gives the State Commission of Correction inspection and standard-setting powers over local jails, and Correction Law section 47 governs death-in-custody investigation by the Board of Correction. Third-party PREA reports can be made 24 hours a day to Monroe County Jail Administration at 585-753-4178.

Local Details That Matter for STAR Academy

Monroe County has a two-site corrections footprint: Monroe County Jail downtown at South Plymouth Avenue and Andrew P. Meloni: STAR Academy/MCF on East Henrietta Road. The county's public information treats STAR Academy together with jail visitation and deposit rules, so do not expect a separate public website, public roster, or separate money vendor. That local detail prevents a common mistake: using the jail roster to find custody, then assuming the same address is always the visit location.

The Monroe roster system is also unusual because it relies on PDFs rather than a searchable profile database. Many counties use a vendor portal with individual profile pages; Monroe uses a short roster, a rich census, a received report, and a released report. The census is especially important because it can show court, judge, future court date, bail, bond, arresting agency, custody classification, and charge code in one public report. Use that detail, then confirm with the jail before visiting STAR Academy.
