Contacting someone at Salem County Jail is easier once you handle the setup and know the schedule. To schedule phone calls tied to visiting weekends, call between 7:30 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. on the Wednesday before the visiting weekend. Appointments are taken in the order calls come in. Each inmate has a single personal account covering commissary, phone, and tablet services, so all deposits go to that one account through the facility's approved vendor channels. To confirm someone's custody status, use the county's online inmate lookup by name or identifier. The jail is located at 135 Cemetery Road, Woodstown, NJ 08098. Set up and activate your vendor account early, and run app or connectivity checks before any desktop video visits or calls.
