How to send messages, photos, and packages
For general questions about Union County DOC, the county directory lists a public phone number (1-877-424-1234) and email (info@ucnj.org). For diversion-related requests, the Jail Diversion/Veteran Referral form includes instructions to submit by email or fax to the Special Offenders Unit. County records also publish contact information for the Division of Corrections, including the Officer in Charge (Lieutenant Anthony Davis) with a listed phone, fax, and mailing address. Staying in touch with someone in custody typically means using phone, video, or electronic messaging through third-party vendors. You'll need to open and activate the approved vendor account before paid phone or video services work. For desktop video visits, sign in early and check your connection.
