Search Camden County Correctional Facility Custody

Camden County Jail Overview

Camden County Correctional Facility is operated by the Camden County Department of Corrections, not by the Sheriff's Office. The county corrections page identifies Warden Rebecca Franceschini and places the facility at 330 Federal Street in Camden. Official sources differ on the ZIP code. The county page uses Camden, NJ 08101, while the ConnectNetwork facility page uses Camden, NJ 08103. For travel and mail questions, the street address is the stable point, and callers should confirm the format before sending anything time-sensitive.

The facility holds adult men and women in local custody. That group can include people just booked after an arrest, people held while release conditions are reviewed, people awaiting Camden County court action, and people serving local sentences. It is not the right search system for someone already transferred to the New Jersey Department of Corrections, a federal prison, or immigration detention. The facility's public access pattern is also distinct: Camden County did not publish an official public web roster in the official sources reviewed, so current inmate status depends on the county's automated phone channel and Admissions contacts.

The county corrections page is the official source for the jail contact block and inmate-status line.

Camden County Jail Population

Camden County has unusually detailed public history for jail population and capacity because the adult jail was the subject of federal consent-decree and settlement materials. Those records list the historic rated capacity as 1,267. They also describe an earlier overcrowding period, including a 2005 annual average daily population of 1,848 and a settlement notice figure of 1,823 when litigation began. Later population-management reforms brought the count below rated capacity at points documented in the consent decree.

A 2026 county reentry release says the incarcerated population has fallen by almost 60 percent over 15 years, and it ties recent reentry work to 9,715 bookings from October 2022 through September 2024. That booking figure is a flow count, not a current daily population. The official county pages reviewed did not publish a live daily jail count, so current population questions should be handled through official county channels or a narrow records request.

Camden County Inmate Lookup

The practical Camden County Correctional Facility inmate lookup starts by phone. The county states that 24-hour automated facility information and inmate status are available at (609) 299-1694. New bookings may still be in Admissions processing, so the Admissions number, (856) 225-7637, is the better local contact when an arrest is recent or release is being processed. Have the person's full legal name, date of birth if known, arresting agency, and approximate arrest date ready before calling.

1. Call the automated inmate-status line at (609) 299-1694 to check whether the person is in Camden County jail custody.
2. For a recent arrest, call Admissions at (856) 225-7637 and ask whether booking or release processing is still underway.
3. If the person has been sentenced to state prison, search the NJDOC incarcerated person locator instead of the county jail line.
4. For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP locator or ICE ODLS route rather than assuming the person remains in Camden County custody.

Camden Facility Contact

The main contact details should be used for general jail information, custody status, Admissions questions, and visit planning. The Sheriff's Office can matter during release because the Bureau of Criminal Identification page says all inmates are checked for outstanding warrants before release, but day-to-day jail custody is handled by the Department of Corrections.

Camden County Jail Visits

Visits at Camden County Correctional Facility are appointment-only. The county visitation page says visitors must call the Visiting Desk directly at (856) 225-7618 or (856) 225-7689. Calls are made Friday through Sunday to schedule for the next week, and visitors may also arrive in person on Friday to schedule. Visitors must arrive 15 minutes before the appointment. Late visitors are not permitted to visit.

The Camden County visitation page shows the appointment-only rules and housing-based visit days.

The housing-unit schedule matters because a visit day depends on where the person is housed, not just on the visitor's availability.

Camden Jail Mail and Money

The mailroom handles both money deposits and property release. Camden County says family and friends may deposit money to an inmate account by cash or postal money order during mailroom windows. The same mailroom process is used when an inmate releases property. Fees were not published in the official county pages reviewed, and vendor fees can depend on account type and transaction method.

ConnectNetwork also lists AdvancePay Phone, Visitation Scheduling, and Video Visitation for Camden County NJ-Correctional Facility. The VisitMe portal is account-based. Confirm the person is still in Camden County custody before adding funds, because transfers to state, federal, or other custody can change the account path.

Camden Booking and Release

Admissions is the local unit responsible for incoming and outgoing inmates. During intake, the jail verifies identity, begins custody records, handles screening and classification steps, and places the person into the local custody system. Camden County consent-decree materials also describe booking-time tracking, which matters because custody credit depends on when the person was actually taken into custody by the arresting agency.

New Jersey's pretrial system means release is not always a simple cash-bail question. A person may be released under non-monetary conditions, held for a detention hearing, or delayed by another warrant or detainer. Admissions processes bails from 4:30 PM to 8:00 AM Monday through Friday and all day on weekends and holidays. The Sheriff Bureau of Criminal Identification release check is important because another warrant can delay release even when the Camden County case appears resolved.

Camden Jail Programs

Camden County publishes more program detail than many local jail systems. The Second Chance Program is described as a state-approved drug and alcohol rehabilitation program that works with Adult Drug Courts and includes AA, NA, group counseling, a female drug and alcohol unit, GED evening classes, a computer lab, adult literacy computer classes, and anger management classes. Residents use a blue slip to reach Program Administrator Sgt. Keith Ross.

Work programs include the County Supplemental Labor Service Program, Road Crew, and Work Release. CSLS is a weekend community-service program for sentenced people. Road Crew provides cleanup and maintenance work for municipalities, county buildings, nonprofits, churches, and schools. Work Release is for approved minimum-security inmates who may work for surrounding employers while paying court debts such as back child support.
