Who to Call About an Inmate at Monmouth County Corrections (quick guide)

Call during regular business hours for the best chance of reaching someone on the first try. Monmouth County offices are open Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., unless a specific office lists different hours. No answer? Try again within that window - and double-check whether the office you need keeps a different schedule.

Can't get through to the Correctional Institution? Not sure which office handles your question? Call the county's main line at 732-431-7000. It's the best catch-all option when you need to be routed to the right place.

You can also try Monmouth County Public Information at 732-431-7310. This line is helpful when you're not sure where to start - especially if you keep getting bounced between offices.
