Camden County Jail, NJ

All visits at Camden County Jail are by appointment only. Call the Visiting Desk to schedule—the jail posts specific times of day when you should call, and you must call Friday through Sunday to book visits for the following week. In-person scheduling is available on Fridays. Visiting days depend on housing floor or unit, so check which day applies to your loved one's floor before calling. Arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled time. Late arrivals are denied entry. Before scheduling, confirm you're on the inmate's approved visitor list and bring a valid government-issued photo ID. Visits are monitored and can be denied or ended for rule violations.

Sending mail to someone at Camden County Jail starts with timing and correct addressing. The mailroom operates daily in three time blocks: morning, midday, and evening. Beyond those hours, publicly available details don't spell out step-by-step processing—confirm current rules directly with the jail before sending anything other than a basic letter. Across New Jersey facilities, incoming mail is typically processed daily and opened for inspection. Legal mail follows separate procedures to protect attorney-client privilege. On every envelope, include your full name and return address, plus the inmate's full name and inmate number. For books and magazines, follow publisher/retailer rules.

Getting money to someone at Camden County Jail usually starts with the mailroom, which accepts deposits by cash or postal money order and handles inmate property releases. Deposit rules and approved services can vary, so confirm the jail's accepted methods and timelines before sending funds. Many facilities also offer online, phone, on-site kiosk, and mail deposit options—posting times and service fees differ by channel. If mailing a payment, include the required deposit form along with the person's full name and ID number. Don't send loose cash in an envelope. Deposits typically go into the inmate's personal account for commissary and communication services.

Match your question to the county's listed contacts. Victoria Nicolosi is the Reentry Coordinator for reentry referrals and program questions—the reentry newsletter points to the county Corrections service page for current details and links. For facility-level operational or population questions, the county lists Jail Population Manager Sharon Bean and the Special Services Unit (Sgt. Andrew Kelly). Beyond the jail, the county includes support options like Volunteers of America's Safe Return program (with posted phone hours) and a county addictions hotline for statewide referral resources.
