Camden County Jail Inmate Search & Roster 2026

Camden County, New Jersey · Custody and booking guide

Camden County Booking Lookup: Inmate Status, Visits, Bail and Court Records

Camden County does not require families to guess which third-party “jail roster” is current. The county publishes a 24/7 automated inmate-status line at 609-299-1694 for Camden County Correctional Facility information and current inmate status.

This guide explains what to prepare before calling, what a custody result means, how to troubleshoot a missing inmate, when Admissions handles bail, how the floor-by-floor visitation schedule works, how to deposit money or release property, which communication system the facility uses, how to find the criminal court case, and what to do after release or transfer.

Call 24/7 inmate status Inmate not found? Find the court case
Identity and accuracy warning: An arrest, booking or charge is not proof of guilt. A person may share a name with another detainee, and custody can change after court, release or transfer. Match multiple identifying details before sending money, visiting, publishing a record or making a legal or employment decision.

Important distinction

Camden County NJ does not work like a typical online roster page

Many county jails publish a searchable web roster with rows of names. Camden County’s current Corrections page instead directs users to a 24-hour automated telephone system for facility information and inmate status.

That changes the best search workflow: start with the county inmate-status line, then use New Jersey Courts for the criminal case, ConnectNetwork for supported family services, and the New Jersey Department of Corrections only when the person has moved into state custody.

A
Person may be in Camden County Jail now

Call 609-299-1694 first. This is the county’s dedicated 24/7 inmate-status route.

B
You need charges or the court case

Use New Jersey Courts PROMIS/Gavel after you have the correct full name or case information.

C
The person may have gone to state prison

Use the New Jersey Department of Corrections Offender Search after a confirmed state transfer.

Best first step: Do not begin with a commercial inmate-search site. Call the county’s own 24/7 status service and record the information you receive before moving to deposits, visits or court research.

Choose what you need to solve

Use the page like an action dashboard rather than a directory.

How to interpret the Camden County custody information you receive

Jail information and court information serve different purposes. Custody data tells you where the person is now; the court system tells you what is happening with the prosecution.

Custody and booking information: what it means
Information What it helps answer What to do next
Currently in custody The person remains housed in Camden County’s correctional system. Confirm housing before scheduling an in-person visit.
Housing floor/unit The facility location where the person is assigned. Match it with the county’s floor-specific visiting day.
Complaint or indictment number A court identifier connected with the criminal matter. Use it in PROMIS/Gavel Public Access.
Charge An accusation associated with the criminal matter. Check the court record for later filings and status.
Release processing The person may be moving through outgoing Admissions procedures. Do not assume physical release until it is confirmed.
Transferred Another jail, state institution or agency may now control custody. Get the receiving agency name before searching elsewhere.
Not in custody The person is not currently showing in Camden County jail custody. Search the criminal case and check release/transfer possibilities.
Charge does not equal conviction: A jail or court charge describes an accusation or pending criminal matter. It should not be presented as proof that the person committed the offense.
Troubleshooting ladder

No Camden County inmate found? Check these possibilities in order

The arrest happened very recently Incoming processing may not be complete. Retry the status line after some time and have the arresting agency information ready.
The name may be entered differently Try a maiden name, hyphenated surname, suffix, alternate spelling or full legal first name.
You know the arresting agency Contact that municipal or law-enforcement agency and ask where the person was transported.
A court case exists but there is no jail custody The defendant may have been released while the criminal case remains active. Search NJ Courts.
The person was there earlier Release or transfer may already have occurred. Ask for the receiving agency if the person moved.
State prison is possible Search the New Jersey Department of Corrections only after the person has moved into state correctional custody.
The matter is municipal rather than Superior Court Use the New Jersey Municipal Court Case Search for municipal complaint or traffic information.
The person is a juvenile Juvenile custody is handled separately. Public information is restricted; do not expect an adult-style public roster.

Juvenile detention is a separate system

Camden County Juvenile Detention Center

Front desk: 856-374-6100

The center handles pretrial juvenile detention. Juvenile case and identity information is subject to different confidentiality rules from adult jail records.

Booking, Admissions, bail processing and release

Camden County’s Admissions Department is responsible for processing incoming inmates and outgoing releases. It is therefore one of the most useful offices when a family knows an arrest or release is happening but does not understand where the person is in the process.

Incoming processing Admissions handles people entering the correctional facility and creates the operational path into county custody.
Classification and housing Camden County’s Counseling/Classification unit assigns classification using the charges and past and present behavioral patterns.
Court and release decision Release conditions depend on the court and the circumstances of the case. Do not assume every case has a simple cash-bail amount.
Bail processing when applicable Camden County states that Admissions processes bails from 4:30 p.m. to 8 a.m. Monday through Friday and all day on weekends and holidays.
Outgoing processing Admissions also handles people leaving the facility after release authorization.
Admissions Department

Phone: 856-225-7637

Best for: incoming/outgoing processing and county-published bail-processing questions.

24/7 custody confirmation

Phone: 609-299-1694

Best for: confirming whether the person remains in Camden County custody.

Do not pay an unexpected caller: Before paying any bail-related amount, independently confirm the court case, inmate identity and payment instructions through the facility or court. Do not rely on a phone number supplied only by an unsolicited caller or text message.
Release timing: Court authorization or a completed payment does not necessarily mean the person is already outside the building. Admissions still has outgoing processing to complete, and outstanding warrants or other legal matters can affect release.

Appointment required

Camden County Jail visitation schedule by floor and modular unit

Camden County states that all visits are by appointment only. The correct visiting day depends on the inmate’s housing location, so confirm the floor or modular unit before scheduling.

Camden County Correctional Facility visiting days
Housing location Published visiting day What the visitor should do
3rd & 4th Floors Monday and Wednesday Schedule the appointment Friday through Sunday for the next week.
2 North Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday Confirm the inmate is still housed on 2 North before the visit.
2 South Wednesday and Thursday Call the Visiting Desk to reserve the approved date.
5th & 6th Floors Tuesday and Thursday Arrive 15 minutes before the scheduled appointment.
Modular Units except South 5 & 7 Saturday Confirm the exact modular assignment before arriving.
Modular South 5 & 7 Sunday Use the Sunday appointment schedule.

How to schedule

Visiting Desk number 1

856-225-7618

Visiting Desk number 2

856-225-7689

Confirm the inmate’s housing The county schedule is based on floor or modular unit rather than simply on the inmate’s last name.
Call Friday through Sunday Camden County instructs visitors to call on Friday, Saturday or Sunday to schedule a visit for the following week.
Call during an appointment window Published call windows are 8:30 a.m.–11 a.m., noon–3 p.m., and 5 p.m.–9 p.m.
Use Friday in-person scheduling when needed Camden County also states visitors may arrive in person on Friday to schedule a visit.
Arrive 15 minutes early Build time for entrance procedures. The county says late visitors will not be permitted to visit.
Reconfirm custody before traveling Housing and release status can change between scheduling day and visiting day.
Late means no visit: Camden County explicitly states that visitors who arrive late will not be permitted to visit. Aim to be at the facility before the required 15-minute-early arrival point.
Inmate account

How to put money on a Camden County inmate account

Camden County provides two practical routes: the facility Mailroom accepts certain in-person deposits, and ConnectNetwork lists Trust Fund service for Camden County NJ-Correctional Facility.

Option 1: Camden County Corrections Mailroom

Accepted by the county Mailroom

Camden County states that family and friends may deposit cash or a postal money order on an inmate account.

Bring the correct inmate information

Have the inmate’s full name and any available identifier. Do not deposit money based only on a common name.

Published Camden County Mailroom service hours
Service period Daily hours Planning note
Morning 8:30 a.m.–11 a.m. Arrive with the correct inmate information and payment form.
Afternoon 12 p.m.–3 p.m. The Mailroom closes between published service periods.
Evening 5 p.m.–9 p.m. Confirm custody before making an evening trip.

Option 2: ConnectNetwork Trust Fund

ConnectNetwork identifies Camden County NJ-Correctional Facility as Site ID 152 and lists Trust Fund service for the facility. It also notes that the facility Site ID is needed when using the automated telephone deposit system.

Confirm current Camden County custody A person who has already transferred may use a different institution and payment provider.
Create or sign into ConnectNetwork Use the facility-search function rather than guessing from a similarly named jail.
Select Camden County NJ-Correctional Facility Confirm that the facility page shows Camden, New Jersey and Site ID 152.
Select Trust Fund Match the inmate information before entering the deposit amount.
Review the provider’s current fee Fees can change and should be displayed before the transaction is submitted.
Save the confirmation Keep the receipt, transaction number, amount, date and inmate identifier until the payment is confirmed.
Open Camden County ConnectNetwork

How inmate property release works through the Mailroom

Camden County’s Corrections Mailroom is not only for inmate-account deposits. The county also states that inmates may release property through the Mailroom.

Confirm the person remains in county custody If the inmate has already been released, normal property-return procedures may be different.
Ask whether the inmate has authorized release Property normally cannot simply be collected by someone who arrives without the inmate’s authorization or facility approval.
Use a published Mailroom service window Choose 8:30–11 a.m., noon–3 p.m., or 5–9 p.m.
Bring identification Before traveling, ask the facility which form of ID is currently required for property pickup.
Verify exactly what will be released Ask whether all property or only specifically authorized property is being released before leaving the facility.
Call first for unusual property: Medication, legal materials, identification documents and other sensitive items may follow a different procedure than ordinary personal property.
Communication services

Camden County inmate phone, video visitation and ConnectNetwork services

ConnectNetwork’s Camden County facility page lists several services specifically for Camden County NJ-Correctional Facility, Site ID 152.

AdvancePay Phone

ConnectNetwork lists AdvancePay telephone service for the Camden County facility.

Trust Fund

Online or supported account deposits can be handled through the facility’s ConnectNetwork listing.

Visitation Scheduling

ConnectNetwork identifies visitation scheduling as an available Camden County facility service.

Video Visitation

Video visitation is also listed for the facility through the provider.

When phone calls stop or an account does not work

You cannot find the inmate in the provider account Reconfirm current custody before troubleshooting the payment or phone account.
The inmate was transferred The receiving jail or state institution may use another facility account or provider setup.
A payment shows but calls do not work Use provider support for telephone-account problems rather than the county inmate-status line.
You want an in-person visit instead Follow the county’s floor-based appointment procedure through the Visiting Desk.
Open facility communication services Open video visitation

What about physical inmate mail?

Camden County’s current public Corrections pages clearly publish Mailroom procedures for deposits and property release but do not provide a detailed current personal-letter addressing guide on the pages reviewed for this article.

Do not guess the mailing address: A facility’s street address is not automatically the correct address for personal inmate correspondence. Jail mail may use a separate processing address or require an inmate number and specific formatting.
Call the facility before sending the first letter Confirm the current personal-mail address, required inmate identifier and return-address format.
Ask whether ordinary letters and legal mail use different addresses Privileged legal correspondence commonly follows different handling rules from family mail.
Confirm prohibited enclosures Ask before including photos, greeting cards, books, stamps, money, stationery or other items.
Check custody immediately before mailing A letter prepared before transfer or release may be sent to the wrong facility.
Why this is better than guessing: Using a verified current mail format protects against returned mail and avoids accidentally sending legal or financial material through the wrong channel.
Criminal court lookup

Find Camden County criminal charges, complaint numbers and court status

After confirming the person is in custody, move to the New Jersey Judiciary system for court information. NJ Courts provides PROMIS/Gavel Public Access for public criminal case searches.

Gather the correct defendant information Use the full legal name from the jail or court paperwork rather than an informal nickname.
Open NJ Courts Find a Case Select the criminal case-search option for indictable criminal matters.
Use one search type at a time PROMIS/Gavel supports searches using information such as defendant name, county, complaint number or indictment information.
Select Camden County when applicable This helps narrow people with common names.
Review the court record separately from the booking Court data may show later filings or activity that is not reflected in an initial jail booking entry.
Confirm a hearing with the Criminal Division Before traveling to court, verify the current date, time and courtroom.

Defense help

Camden County Public Defender office and application basics

A person charged with an indictable offense who cannot afford private counsel may seek court-appointed representation. The court determines eligibility for the New Jersey Office of the Public Defender.

Camden, NJ 08103

Phone: 856-614-3500

Fax: 856-614-3503

Camden County inmate programs, education, work and recovery support

Release and transfer

What to do when the inmate is released or moved elsewhere

Status says released Confirm that outgoing processing has actually finished before arranging pickup.
Status changes suddenly Call 609-299-1694 rather than assuming the person is free or missing.
State transfer confirmed Move your search to the New Jersey Department of Corrections offender locator.
Another county received custody Use the receiving county’s jail system rather than Camden County’s phone line for future status.
Phone/deposit account no longer works Verify transfer or release before putting more money into a facility-specific service.
Court case is still open Continue tracking the case through NJ Courts even if the person is no longer incarcerated.
Search NJ state-prison custody

Camden County reentry support after release

Camden County maintains a reentry initiative designed to connect people returning from incarceration with employment, health coverage, housing, treatment and other community support.

Transformative Justice Initiative

Ibrahim Sulaimani: 856-800-4825

Antonne Henshaw: 856-209-0290

Email: transformativeji@gmail.com

What reentry assistance can address

County reentry materials describe support involving employment, health insurance, housing, treatment, documentation, essential needs and behavioral-health connections.

Use before release when possible: Employment, medication, identification, transportation and housing are easier to solve when planning begins before the person exits custody.

Booking records, arrest reports, fingerprints and OPRA requests

“Inmate record,” “arrest report,” and “court record” are not interchangeable. Ask the office that actually controls the document.

Which Camden County or New Jersey source should you use?
Record needed Best source Why
Current jail status Camden County Corrections The county’s 24/7 inmate-status service is designed for current facility status.
Indictable criminal case NJ Courts PROMIS/Gavel Shows public criminal court case information.
Municipal complaint or traffic matter NJ Municipal Court Case Search Municipal matters use a separate judiciary portal.
State-prison incarceration New Jersey Department of Corrections County custody and state-prison custody are separate systems.
County government record not otherwise available Camden County OPRA OPRA provides the process for requesting eligible government records.
Sheriff criminal identification information Camden County Sheriff’s Bureau of Criminal Identification BCI maintains fingerprint, photograph and criminal-contact files used by law enforcement.
OPRA is not an instant inmate locator: Use the 24/7 custody line for current status. Use a public-record request when you need an eligible underlying government record that is not already available through the jail or court system.
Submit Camden County OPRA request

Victim notification and custody-change monitoring

New Jersey provides VINE victim-notification resources for custody information. This can be useful when a release or transfer matters for personal safety.

Use notification as a backup

Automated alerts are helpful, but they should not replace direct safety planning or emergency contact with law enforcement.

Recheck custody independently

When an alert affects travel, court attendance or personal safety, verify the custody change through the responsible agency.

Immediate danger: Use 911 for an active emergency. Do not wait for a website update, voicemail or automated custody notification.

Practical Camden County inmate-search tips that save time

Call before searching random roster sites

The county itself publishes a 24/7 inmate-status telephone route.

Get the housing location

Camden visitation days depend on floor or modular unit, making housing information especially useful.

Schedule visits Friday–Sunday

The Visiting Desk books appointments during those days for the following week.

Arrive early, not on time

The county requires arrival 15 minutes before the visit and rejects late visitors.

Use Mailroom hours exactly

Mailroom service is split into three separate daily windows rather than one continuous period.

Use postal money orders when appropriate

Camden County specifically lists cash and postal money orders for Mailroom inmate-account deposits.

Do not guess the physical-mail address

Call first because the public county pages reviewed do not publish a complete current family-mail addressing guide.

Move to NJ Courts after custody

The jail tells you where the person is; the judiciary tells you where the criminal case is going.

Use NJDOC only after state transfer

A state offender search is not a replacement for Camden County’s current jail-status service.
