Who to contact about visits and VTCs at South Woods State Prison (where to look and who to call)

For South Woods State Prison contact details - like the facility phone number and address - start with the New Jersey Department of Corrections website. NJDOC lists addresses and telephone numbers for all New Jersey prisons online, so you're not stuck relying on old screenshots, social media posts, or reposted directories that may be outdated. Need to call about visiting, confirm where to send paperwork, or figure out where to route a request? That NJDOC prison listing is your most dependable source for current official contact information.

Tip: Use NJDOC’s official prison listings as your “source of truth” for phone numbers and addresses, then verify details before you call or fax anything time-sensitive.

For videoconference questions and statewide coordination, contact the NJDOC Videoconferencing Program: P.O. Box 863, Trenton, NJ 08625; Phone: 609-826-5642; Fax: 609-984-8284. This is the office to call when you have VTC process questions or need help figuring out where to direct a request.

Who to contact about visits and VTCs at South Woods State Prison (where to look and who to call)

VTC requests are time-sensitive, and routing matters. NJDOC's instructions require that all videoconference requests be faxed to the appropriate institution and coordinator at least 48 hours (excluding weekends and holidays) before the requested day. Not 100% sure you have the right institution-specific coordinator or fax destination for South Woods? Take a minute to confirm before sending anything. A quick call to the NJDOC Videoconferencing Program can save you from a misdirected fax and a missed deadline.

  1. Pull South Woods’ main contact from NJDOC’s prison listings - use the official state listing for the most current phone/address information.
  2. Call the NJDOC Videoconferencing Program (609-826-5642) - confirm the correct institution/coordinator routing for South Woods before you fax your request.
  3. Double-check with the facility if needed - if you’re told the request must go to a specific coordinator or office, verify you’re using the right destination.
  4. Fax the request on time and keep proof - send it at least 48 hours in advance (excluding weekends and holidays) and keep your fax confirmation page for your records.

Warning: Don’t assume a generic VTC form automatically reaches the right person. Confirm the institution/coordinator routing first so your 48-hour window doesn’t get burned by a misdirected fax.

Coming up empty online? Don't guess or grab a number from a third-party directory. Go back to NJDOC's prison listings for official South Woods contact information, and use the NJDOC Videoconferencing Program office as your backup for VTC questions or help confirming where a request should go. Between the prison listing and the VTC program office, you can usually reach the right person without bouncing between outdated sources.
