How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Planning ahead matters for attorney visits at East Jersey State Prison. Attorneys and their representatives must give at least 24 hours' notice—either written or by phone—to the incarcerated person's housing facility administrator. Include the attorney or representative's name, the incarcerated person's name, which attorney the representative is acting for (if applicable), and your requested date and time. Missing details can delay acceptance. Bring appropriate identification; staff will check it at admission, and anyone on the Departmental "banned" list will be turned away. Contact visits can be limited or denied for safety reasons—behavior concerns or a security threat, for example. If that happens, staff will try to arrange a non-contact visit when possible.
