Here is a site that seems to have quite a bit of information on the Westchester County Penitentiary. I didn't get a chance to look at it closely, but maybe the link will help you.

Just from a quick glance, I can tell you that there were
2 deputy wardens,
18 officers,
an employment counselor, and
a psychiatrist

Perhaps the Westchester County Historical Society has some rosters. Here is a link to their website:
