Find Rose M. Singer Inmates

Rose M. Singer Center is an NYC DOC city jail facility that can hold women and other people assigned there by DOC classification. Kings County inmate search questions for RMSC should use the DOC Person in Custody Lookup, not a county sheriff roster. Because assigned population can change with classification, court status, health needs, and operational decisions, the public lookup is the best source for the person's current holding location.

Rose M. Singer Custody

Rose M. Singer Center, often called RMSC, is listed on the official DOC facility address page at 19-19 Hazen Street. The facility map describes it as a New York City jail facility for women and other people assigned to RMSC by DOC classification, with a clear warning that the public lookup should be checked for exact current facility. That caveat is important. A person's gender, classification, medical needs, safety status, and court movement can affect housing, and public pages should not imply that every woman in NYC DOC custody is always housed at RMSC.

For Brooklyn families, RMSC is part of the same citywide DOC system that handles Kings County defendants after court commitment. It is not physically in Brooklyn, and it is not a state prison or federal facility. The public sources reviewed did not publish a fixed RMSC capacity in the facility page. Population and assignment questions should be checked through DOC and Board of Correction dashboards where available, while individual custody questions should be resolved through the Person in Custody Lookup.

Rose M. Singer Lookup

The right starting point is the NYC DOC Person in Custody Lookup. The lookup can be searched by NYSID or book and case number, or by first and last name. NYC311 says a DOC custody record can show charges, court date and location, book and case number, jail mailing address, NYSID, holding location, release date, and bail or bond amount. For RMSC, the holding location confirms whether the person is currently assigned there.

  1. Use NYSID or book and case number first for the most direct match.
  2. Use the name search only when no identifier is available.
  3. Compare the returned court details, especially if the case should be a Kings County or KN docket matter.
  4. Confirm that the holding location says Rose M. Singer Center or RMSC before mailing, visiting, or depositing money.
  5. Save the book and case number for bail, mail, money, and public-record requests.

If no result appears, check timing and custody type. A recent Brooklyn arrest can remain in NYPD custody during early processing. A sentenced state-prison case belongs in DOCCS. A federal case in Brooklyn may be at MDC Brooklyn and searched through BOP. Immigration custody is separate and searched through ICE, not through DOC.


RMSC Address and Contact

RMSC's street address identifies the facility, but citywide DOC channels handle most public inquiries. Use 311 or DOC's main contact line for general custody and complaint routing. For records, DOC directs requesters to NYC OpenRecords. For clinical records connected to health care in custody, the research identifies Correctional Health Services Medical Records as the medical-record route rather than a general jail desk.

Rose M. Singer Visits

RMSC uses DOC's Rikers visit rules. The reviewed DOC pages list walk-in in-person visit days, registration windows, a Friday televisit process, and legal visits seven days a week. The assignment caveat matters here too. A person may be moved from RMSC or made unavailable for a visit because of court production, medical care, security status, or classification. Check the current lookup and DOC visit instructions before travel.

DOC recommends public transit because parking is very limited. The Q100 bus reaches the Rikers Island Visit Center. Visitors should bring valid ID, avoid prohibited property, and allow time for screening.


RMSC Mail and Money

Use the person's lookup record before sending letters, packages, or deposits to RMSC. The lookup may show the jail mailing address and identifiers needed for routing. DOC package rules ban food and toiletries and restrict clothing features such as pockets, hoods, belts, logos, strings, metal, and buttons. NYC311 says packages must stay under the listed size and weight limits and can be mailed or dropped off during visit hours at the Bail and Package Reception area near Central Visits.

DOC states that it does not receive fees charged by money-transfer agents. Direct cashier deposits are listed as no-fee deposits. A missing deposit or mail issue should be handled with the book and case number because that identifier links the request to the correct person.


RMSC Records and FOIL

DOC custody records that are not shown in the public lookup should be requested through NYC OpenRecords by selecting Department of Correction. Include the person's name, NYSID or book and case number, date range, facility, and the record sought. The request should be precise. DOC holds jail custody records, while NYPD holds arrest reports, courts hold criminal case files, DOCCS holds state prison records, and BOP holds federal custody records. RMSC's role is custody, not prosecution.

For a Brooklyn case, the KN docket prefix can help show the court side of the record. The DOC lookup can show custody location and basic case data, but it is not a full court history and does not replace the court record.


RMSC Population Oversight

The research found citywide DOC population and oversight sources rather than a simple Kings County-only or RMSC-only fixed count. The Board of Correction dashboard is the strongest official source for live census review because it can show population by facility, legal status, age, and length of incarceration. DOC's statistics and compliance page links reports on TGNBI individuals in custody, visitation, commissary, grievances, restrictive housing, use of force, PREA, and programs.

That oversight context is useful, but it does not answer whether one person is at RMSC today. Use the lookup first. Then use DOC visit, mail, money, and OpenRecords channels based on the exact holding location and identifiers returned.

Note: Do not assume RMSC assignment from gender alone; confirm the current holding location in DOC records.
