Salem County jail inmate search

Checking custody status takes a phone call to the Salem County Sheriff's Office Corrections Division at 856-769-4300. The direct way to verify whether someone is held there is to speak with desk staff. The state inmate search hub also has statewide details for New Jersey.

People arrested locally go through intake at the Salem County Correctional Facility on 125 Cemetery Road in Woodstown. New arrivals don't always appear in records right away, so call the Salem County Sheriff's Office at 856-769-4300 to check on a recent arrest.

Account deposits, visit bookings, and custody questions each go to a different phone line. These numbers appear on the Salem County Government Departments directory and on the sheriff's website:

The Salem County Correctional Facility is where custody operations happen, and it serves as the Corrections Division's main jail. According to the Salem County Sheriff's Office Contact page, the street address is 125 Cemetery Road, Woodstown, NJ 08098. At this Woodstown building, families can use the payment machine in the public lobby to put money into an inmate's account. Every county intake takes place here.

Daily jail operations are managed by the Salem County Sheriff's Office through its Department of Corrections. You can reach the sheriff's corrections staff at 856-769-4300 to ask if someone is held in custody.

To schedule a visit, call 856-769-4300, extension 7790, on the Wednesday night before the unit's visiting weekend between 7:30 and 10:00 p.m. Staff book appointments in the order calls arrive, and iWeb Visit provides remote video visits.

These rules come from the Salem County Sheriff's Office Visiting Schedule page:

• Only after 90 days of incarceration can personal visits start.
• Each inmate may get 1 personal visit a month, and it lasts about 40 minutes.
• A visitor must appear on the inmate's authorized list.

Every inmate gets 1 account that covers tablets, phone calls, and the commissary, meaning the jail store. The Commissary and Phone page lists 4 ways you can deposit money:

• Use cash or a credit card at the lobby payment machine, known as a kiosk.
• Deposit online through Access Corrections.
• Call Access Corrections at 636-888-7004.
• Send a money order by mail with the inmate's name on it.

Through Access Corrections at accesscatalog.com, you can also order SecurePak packages online.

There's no need for you to open a separate account for phone or tablet services, since calls draw on the inmate's 1 personal account. The Commissary and Phone page says you can fund calls with deposits made through Access Corrections, a money order, or the kiosk in the lobby.

Names, booking photos, and arrest records never appear on County Jail Lookup. Call the Salem County Sheriff's Office Corrections Division at 856-769-4300 to ask what custody information the facility provides.

In New Jersey, a risk-based system applies instead of one built mainly on money bail, and there are no commercial bail bondsmen. Pretrial release is when a court allows a person to return home before trial. If defendants are low risk and lack bail money, they're released; people who pose a serious danger or flight risk face pretrial detention.

Courts can grant pretrial release with conditions or release monitored by pretrial services officers. Read how bail works or call the Corrections Division at 856-769-4300.

People leaving custody walk out from the facility at 125 Cemetery Road in Woodstown once staff complete release paperwork. Call the Salem County Sheriff's Office at 856-769-4300 to ask about pickup timing.
