Garden State Youth Correctional Facility

Garden State Youth Correctional Facility offers video visits Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Plan ahead—VTC requests must be faxed to the facility's VTC coordinator (or designee) at least 48 business hours before your requested day. You'll need to be on the incarcerated person's approved visitor list and complete the facility's preregistration process before scheduling. Most visits are monitored or recorded (attorney visits are typically exempt), and sessions can be denied or ended for safety concerns or rule violations. When demand is high, state-sentenced inmates get scheduling priority over non-state-sentenced inmates.

Garden State Youth Correctional Facility runs videoconferencing Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. To schedule a session, complete a VTC request form and fax it to the facility VTC coordinator (or designee) at least 48 hours (two or more business days) before your requested time. The form asks whether your agency will fax documents to the inmate on the day of the conference. Legal interviews use the Client/Attorney Interview reason code (code 25). Out-of-state agencies must confirm any Interstate Compact conflicts before proceeding. Video-link communications are privileged and confidential—state-sentenced inmates must be advised of confidentiality and sign an Inmate Consent Form. Inmates appear alone in a sound-dampened booth; no additional person may be present unless properly acknowledged. The VTC system can receive incoming faxes, but inmates cannot send faxes.

Looking up someone at Garden State Youth Correctional Facility? NJDOC offers two main routes: an official Inmate Locator Service phone line for agencies seeking inmate numbers and current locations, and a public inmate lookup available under New Jersey's public records framework. The public search lets you look up records using a person's first and last name or an institutional number. Online records update regularly, but statuses can change quickly—short-term movements like work release, furloughs, or community programs may not show up right away. Some offenders may be excluded from public listings at the discretion of corrections or law enforcement, so phone confirmation is sometimes necessary.

Need to set up or troubleshoot videoconferencing (VTC) for Garden State Youth Correctional Facility? NJDOC uses a centralized Videoconferencing Program Office as the statewide point of contact, with a mailing address, phone number, and fax for VTC-related inquiries. NJDOC also publishes a VTC coordinator contact list naming Lea Grant and Jessica Mariconda as Garden State Youth's facility contacts, with phone numbers and email addresses for each. For anything outside VTC—like finding a main line, reaching a specific unit, or getting directed to the right office—start with the facility or county contact page and use the unit directory. For forms, property pickup, or media requests, follow the submission method listed and call ahead when procedures require it.
