Huntington 24 Hour Booking and County Programs

Suffolk County offers several programs at its facilities that may affect booking and custody status. The Sheriff's Addiction Treatment Program runs at the Yaphank facility. A Veterans Reentry Program helps former service members. The Choose Your Path program at Riverhead serves young men. These programs can lead to early release or alternative sentencing, which changes the booking record status.

The Community Assistance Program lets inmates learn vocational skills while doing service projects for non-profit agencies and local government. Suffolk County also operates the START Resource Center at both facilities. Under New York bail reform, inmate populations have dropped, creating more room for rehabilitation programs. This means booking records may show program participation status alongside custody information.
