RMSC Enhanced Supervised Housing Inmate Search

RMSC Enhanced Supervised Housing Overview

RMSC Enhanced Supervised Housing, usually abbreviated RESH, is operated by the New York City Department of Correction at 19-19 Hazen Street in East Elmhurst. The research describes it as a separate command known as RESH at the Rose M. Singer Center address. It is part of the NYC DOC jail system serving all boroughs, including Manhattan and New York County court cases.

DOC says RESH currently houses male detainees in restrictive housing and that enhanced supervision units are reserved for individuals found guilty of disciplinary charges while in custody. The DOC lookup page also includes an important 2026 notice: RESH currently houses both individuals in restrictive housing and general population, and people housed in RESH-GP are not subjected to restrictive status. That distinction should be preserved whenever a New York County custody result lists this command.

RMSC Enhanced Supervised Housing Population

No rated RESH capacity was published in the official facility material reviewed for this project. The Board of Correction July 2024 public meeting minutes reported a RESH census of 149 people on July 17, 2024. Because RESH includes restrictive housing and RESH-GP general population references, the label in the DOC lookup should not be read as a disciplinary finding by itself.

How to Look Up an Inmate at RMSC Enhanced Supervised Housing

The correct lookup is the NYC DOC Person in Custody Lookup. Search by NYSID or book and case number if available, or by first and last name. The key step for RESH is reading the holding location and any RESH-GP notice rather than assuming that the facility label alone tells the person's restriction status.

1. Open the DOC Person in Custody Lookup.
2. Search by identifier or name and open the matching person.
3. Check whether the holding location says RESH, RMSC Enhanced Supervised Housing, or RESH-GP.
4. Use DOC or counsel for questions about housing status, restrictions, or disciplinary status.

RMSC Enhanced Supervised Housing Address and Contact

Public contact runs through DOC's general OCGS line. Since RESH is a housing command rather than a separate county jail, the public profile in DOC lookup is the practical starting point for current location, court date, book and case number, bail or bond amount, and mailing address.

Visiting Someone at RMSC Enhanced Supervised Housing

DOC's general visitation framework applies to Rikers facilities, but housing restrictions can affect movement, scheduling, or visit handling. Check the DOC visit schedule, confirm the person's current location, and call DOC if the profile shows RESH or a status that may affect visits.

Mail, Phone, and Money at RMSC Enhanced Supervised Housing

Use the DOC lookup profile for mailing address and book and case number. DOC and NYC311 identify deposit channels by cashier window, money transfer agent, mail, phone, and online, with transfer-agent fees possible. The research did not locate a current official phone-call vendor price table, so no phone rates are stated here.

Housing Assignment and Intake

A New York County arrest can move through NYPD processing, Manhattan arraignment, DOC intake, classification, and then a housing assignment on Rikers. RESH is a housing command within that DOC process. The fact that the lookup lists RESH does not replace court records, disciplinary records, medical records, or legal advice about custody status.

For people who cannot be found in RESH or any other DOC location, use the documented fallback chain. Recent release notification runs through New York City VINE at 888-846-3469. Sentenced state custody is searched through DOCCS, federal custody through BOP, and immigration custody through ICE. Those systems are separate, so each one must be checked on its own facts.

Restrictive Housing, Programs, and Oversight

DOC's FY2025 material says people in restrictive housing settings receive enhanced targeted programming aimed at behavioral change and conflict response. Citywide jail oversight comes from BOC minimum standards, Board monitoring reports, and the Comptroller dashboard. For RESH, those sources are especially relevant because the command name can cause confusion between restrictive housing and RESH-GP general population housing.

New York County families should also separate housing status from court status. A RESH holding-location entry does not say whether a Manhattan charge is pending, dismissed, indicted, reduced, or resolved. Use WebCrims for future court dates, the court clerk for finished or unavailable case files, and the Manhattan District Attorney or defense counsel for questions about filed charges. DOC can confirm custody and location, but it does not decide the prosecution path.

If the search is really about a medical emergency, RESH is not the same channel as Correctional Health Services. The research lists the CHS emergency line for a person in custody as 347-774-7000, open 24 hours a day. Medical records are routed to the CHS Medical Records Unit, while nonmedical jail records and letters of incarceration go through DOC FOIL or NYC OpenRecords. That split matters because DOC says it does not maintain or possess person-in-custody medical records.
