Salem County Correctional Facility Overview

Salem County Correctional Facility is operated by the Salem County Sheriff's Office through its Department of Corrections. The jail is the only official detention facility identified in the Salem County facility map for this project. Municipal police departments in Salem City, Pennsville, Penns Grove, Woodstown, Carneys Point, Elmer, Lower Alloways Creek, and other local towns may make arrests, but long-term adult detention moves to the county facility after booking or commitment. The sheriff's site treats the same jail as the location for inmate lookup, visitation, mail, commissary, programs, and custody contact.

The facility holds people lawfully committed into sheriff custody for alleged or adjudicated violations of local, state, or federal law. That wording is broad on purpose. A Salem County Correctional Facility roster profile can involve a pretrial defendant, a sentenced county inmate, a warrant hold, a person held for another county, or a person with another-agency detainer information. The public roster inspection found a profile with Current Location listed as MAIN and County listed as Gloucester County, which fits Salem's shared-service and regional jail role.

The sheriff corrections page identifies Warden John S. Cuzzupe, Deputy Warden Darren P. Pearce, and Captain Charles J. Angelus as facility leadership. It also states that the warden directs 143 sworn staff and 24 civilian employees and is responsible for a $21 million budget. The current official rated capacity was not published on the sheriff pages reviewed, so public users should not treat any older capacity figure as a current bed count.

Salem County Facility Population

The most concrete public population figure for Salem County Correctional Facility is the live roster count captured during research. A blank current-inmate search in the official lookup returned 366 current results on June 22, 2026. That number is a live roster result, not an official average daily population report. It can rise or fall as people are booked, released, sentenced, transferred, or held for other agencies.

Capacity must be handled carefully. Research found 2024 regionalization reporting and county-action context for a 900-bed regional jail plan in Salem County, tied to Salem, Gloucester, and Cumberland jail populations. That is a plan or renovation target, not a confirmed current rated capacity in the sheriff pages. Gloucester County has used Salem jail services since its jail closed in 2013, so a facility count may not equal the number of Salem County defendants alone.

Look Up Facility Inmates

Current Salem County Correctional Facility custody is searched through the official Salem County inmate lookup, an older DSI-ITI web application linked from the sheriff website. The tool supports name searches and identifier searches. It also has an Include released inmates checkbox, which helps when a person may have left custody and the public system still has a released record available.

The lookup is strongest when the searcher has a last name plus one added point, such as first name, date of birth, booking number, permanent number, State ID, County ID, FBI number, or ICE number. The ICE Number option is a local roster quirk worth noting. It does not replace the ICE detainee locator, but it can help if the person is temporarily in the county jail and an immigration identifier is known.

1. Open the official Salem County inmate lookup from the sheriff site or direct roster URL.
2. Search by first name, last name, and date of birth, or switch to identifier search when a booking or ID number is known.
3. Use Include released inmates if the person may have been booked and released before the search.
4. Click the result row to open the public profile and confirm the Current Location, County, bond, charge, detainer, and hearing sections.
5. Call the facility if a recent arrest does not appear yet, a name spelling is uncertain, or release timing needs confirmation.

The county roster covers jail custody. Sentenced state prisoners from Salem County move to the New Jersey Department of Corrections offender search. Sentenced federal inmates use the BOP inmate locator, and immigration detainees use ICE ODLS or the federal phone fallback.

Salem County Jail Contact

The corrections address is the address to use for jail visits, jail mail, and facility-specific custody questions. The sheriff's enforcement and county-government offices use separate Salem addresses, so requests should be routed to the right office. For jail status, visitation, mail, commissary, or phone questions, start with the correctional facility rather than the county administration building.

The sheriff contact page lists the corrections phone as 856-769-4300 and the corrections fax as 856-769-3578. Deputy Warden Pearce is listed at 856-935-7510 extension 7705, and Captain Angelus is listed at extension 7779. Confirm call routing by phone before traveling because jail entry rules, staffing, and visiting availability can change for safety reasons.

Visit Salem County Inmates

Personal visitation at Salem County Correctional Facility is narrow and unit-specific. The official visiting page states that personal visits are 40 minutes, that inmates are not eligible until they have been incarcerated for 90 days, and that each inmate is authorized one personal visit per month. Visitors must be on the inmate's Authorized Personnel List, and appointment calls are accepted only on the Wednesday night before the unit's designated weekend.

The visiting rules and dress code prohibit cell phones in the building and require visitors to leave phones in their vehicles. The rules also bar many clothing items, including see-through clothing, bare-midriff garments, hooded garments, camouflage or military style clothing, flip flops, open-toe shoes, shorts, pajama pants, and orange or dark green clothing subject to approval. A lobby locker may be used for some property at the visitor's own expense for $0.25.

Note: Call the jail before traveling because visits can be denied, changed, or canceled for security or rule violations.

Mail and Money Services

Salem County mail rules are specific. The official mail page says incoming letters must include the inmate's full name and the sender's full name and return address. Incorrectly addressed mail is returned, and mail with no usable sender information may be destroyed. All incoming mail is searched and inspected. Books, magazines, and newspapers are limited to direct orders from Barnes & Noble, along with legal materials listed by the facility.

The commissary and phone page says each inmate receives a personal account for commissary, telephone, and tablet use. The sheriff navigation also links iWeb Visit for video visitation, but the captured Salem materials did not publish a local video visit fee or full video schedule. Confirm remote visit rules with the vendor portal before paying a fee.

Salem County Booking Intake

Booking at Salem County Correctional Facility starts when an arresting agency, court, warrant process, or other authorized agency commits a person to the jail. The public record that follows can include a booking number, permanent ID, demographics, identifiers, commitment date, current location, county field, bond rows, charge rows, detainer information, alias information, and hearing information. Some fields may be blank in a public profile even when the jail has internal information.

New Jersey county correctional standards also help explain what intake involves. N.J.A.C. 10A:31 health-service standards govern county jail medical and dental services, and N.J.A.C. 10A:31-21.5 says newly admitted inmates may complete at least two local or collect long-distance calls as soon as practicable during admission. The sheriff mission also says the facility addresses basic physical and mental health needs, protects constitutional rights, and offers programs and services to support reintegration.

Booking

Administrative intake after arrest or court commitment.

Commitment date

The date the jail records the person as committed to facility custody.

Detainer

A hold or notice from another agency that may affect release.

Current location

A jail location field such as MAIN, separate from a full housing-cell detail.

Programs at Salem County Correctional Facility

The corrections programs page lists several local options that make the jail more than a holding site. Programs include the Sheriff's Labor Assistance Program, Sheriff's Detail, Medication Assisted Treatment, Academic Career Re-Entry Opportunity, SODAT substance-use counseling, Alcoholics Anonymous, anger management, diversity and multiculturalism, GED through Salem County Vocational Technical School, and religious programming.

The ACRO program is a useful local example because it runs for 10 weeks and covers job readiness, resumes, interview skills, financial planning, release planning, leadership skills, and ServSafe food and beverage certification. County legal notices in 2026 also referenced roof replacement and detention-control modernization work at the correctional facility, showing continuing capital and maintenance activity at the jail.

For custody records that do not appear in the live roster, use Salem County OPRA. The county OPRA process goes through the county custodian, not the DSI-ITI roster. OPRA can be relevant for historical booking records, mugshot copies, reports, or aggregate data, but exemptions and court-record limits can apply.
