Facility types, population notes, and programs to expect
Support programs are often run locally, so what's available depends on the county facility. In Camden County, published materials describe Volunteers of America Safe Return reentry assistance, including housing help, employment services, education and legal assistance, benefits support, and linkage to substance use and mental health treatment. Camden County also offers Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) as a treatment option for incarcerated individuals.
Facility populations and transfers can shape where someone is housed over time. A New Jersey annual report abstract for Mountainview Youth Correctional Facility tracks inmate movement and characteristics, noting that some people received during the year were transferred directly from county jails. The abstract includes population counts for that institution during the covered period.
Common Questions
Q
Who can I contact for reentry help or treatment programs while someone is incarcerated?
Some county facilities publish reentry and treatment resources directly. Camden County materials describe Volunteers of America Safe Return reentry assistance, and Camden County also describes offering MOUD as a treatment option for incarcerated individuals. Camden County also lists a Reentry Coordinator contact by name and email in its materials.
Q
What should I do if I cannot find the inmate or their facility phone number?
Try contacting the county sheriff’s office or jail directly and ask for inmate information. Ocean County Jail, for example, lists a main number for help with inmate information like bail and charges, and the Hudson County Sheriff’s Office lists general phone numbers and an email contact. If you are using an inmate look-up site, some agencies require questions or corrections to be submitted in writing to the sheriff’s office division that manages classifications.
