Salem County Correctional Facility Overview
Salem County Correctional Facility is a county adult secure detention facility operated through the Salem County Sheriff's Office - Department of Corrections. For Gloucester County users, its most important role is regional intake and possible housing for adult arrestees. Gloucester County's Classification Unit states that all Gloucester County arrestees are transported and admitted into Salem County Jail. After processing and classification, a person may remain at Salem or may be transferred to another housing facility named by Gloucester County, such as Atlantic or Essex.
Salem's official corrections page identifies Sheriff Charles M. Miller, Undersheriffs Brian Facemyer and Michael L. Peterson, Warden John S. Cuzzupe, Deputy Warden Darren P. Pearce and Captain Charles J. Angelus. The same official page lists Warden Cuzzupe at 856-935-7510 ext. 7700 and says he directs 143 sworn personnel and 24 civilian employees with responsibility for a $21 million budget. Those staffing and budget details come from Salem's corrections page, not from a Gloucester roster.
The official Salem corrections home is the source for the facility leadership and corrections links. See the Salem County Sheriff's Office Corrections page for the original facility page shown below.
This source matters for Gloucester County because it is the official Salem facility page, while Gloucester's own pages explain why adult jail questions often move from Woodbury to Salem.
Salem County Correctional Facility Capacity and Population
The current official Salem page reviewed for this project did not publish a current rated operating capacity. Research notes identify a 2024 regional consolidation report that referred to a 900-bed jail facility plan involving Salem, Gloucester and Cumberland counties, but that news figure should not be treated as a current official rated capacity for daily lookup purposes. The better Gloucester-specific population fact is operational: Gloucester does not house adult males, adult females or juveniles locally, and official county bill lists show substantial inmate-housing payments to Salem County.
Gloucester County bill lists are useful as a public indicator of regional housing use, not as headcounts. Research located Salem County Treasurer inmate-housing entries for January 2024, January and February 2025, and April 2026, including an April 2026 inmate housing entry of $1,190,560. Those invoice amounts do not reveal exact bed-days without the current contract rate, so they should be read as evidence of regional housing reliance rather than a roster count.
How to Look Up an Inmate at Salem County Correctional Facility
For a Gloucester County adult arrestee, start with the official Salem corrections path because Gloucester says all arrestees are admitted into Salem County Jail. Salem's corrections navigation links an official "Inmate LookUp." The linked lookup could not be inspected through the research browser, so the exact field labels and result details are unverified. Use the lookup first, then call Salem if the person does not appear or if the profile does not clearly confirm current custody.
- Open the official Salem County Corrections page and use the Inmate LookUp link from the corrections navigation.
- Search with the person's full legal name, date of birth if available, and any booking or court number known from family, police or court paperwork.
- Confirm that the person is currently held at Salem County Correctional Facility rather than transferred to Atlantic, Essex, NJDOC, federal custody or release.
- If the online lookup is unavailable or incomplete, call Salem County Sheriff's Office / Corrections at 856-935-7510 and ask for current custody, visiting and bail-routing instructions.
If the person has already been sentenced to state prison, the correct search changes to the New Jersey Department of Corrections Offender Search. NJDOC is not the first stop for a brand-new Gloucester booking, and it updates on a different schedule. For custody alerts, New Jersey VINE at VINELink can supplement the facility call, but it should not replace direct confirmation before travel or bail action.
Salem County Correctional Facility Address and Contact
Use Salem for facility-level questions when a Gloucester adult arrestee is being processed or housed there.

Visiting Someone at Salem County Correctional Facility
Salem personal visitation has several limits that matter before a family member travels. Personal visits are 40 minutes. An inmate becomes eligible for a personal visit only after 90 days of incarceration, and each eligible inmate is allowed one personal visit per month. Visitors must be on the inmate's Authorized Personnel List. The allowed combinations are one or two adults, two adults and one child under 18, or one adult and two children under 18.
Appointments are made by telephone at 856-769-4300 ext. 7790 on the Wednesday night before the inmate's designated Saturday or Sunday visiting weekend. Calls are accepted only from 7:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Appointment order follows the order calls are received, with five appointments per 40-minute slot. Salem also links iWebVisit for video visitation, but personal visit eligibility and scheduling remain facility-controlled.
The official Salem visiting page is the source for the 90-day eligibility, monthly personal visit limit and Wednesday scheduling window. Review the Salem County visiting schedule before calling.
The screenshot reinforces why a Gloucester visitor should not assume walk-in access. The schedule depends on the inmate's eligibility, approved visitor status, housing assignment and the Wednesday phone appointment window.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Salem County Correctional Facility
Salem's official corrections navigation links Access Corrections for money deposits and iWebVisit for video visitation. The research file also notes an official Salem mail requirements page in the corrections navigation, but detailed mail rules were not fully harvested. Because mail screening, photo rules, envelope rules and vendor rules can change, use Salem's current instructions before sending anything.
| Service | Provider / Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail Address | Use Salem County Correctional Facility's current mail requirements and include the inmate's full name as directed by the facility. |
| Phone / Video | Salem links iWebVisit for video visitation; newly admitted county inmates also have telephone-call rights under N.J.A.C. 10A:31-21.5. |

Booking and Intake at Salem County Correctional Facility
The Gloucester County booking path begins with the arresting agency, but the regional jail step is Salem. Gloucester's Classification Unit says all Gloucester arrestees are transported and admitted into Salem County Jail. After admission, the person is processed and classified. Gloucester's local classification duties include making sure each prisoner is legally incarcerated, seen by a judge and legally discharged, along with video court coordination, housing assignments, programs, time credits, transport requests, parole and work details.
That workflow explains lookup delays. A person may be in transport, intake, medical screening, classification, video court or transfer review before a public-facing record is useful. N.J.A.C. 10A:31-21.5 requires newly admitted county inmates to be permitted at least two local or collect long-distance calls as soon as practicable during admission, with monitoring exceptions for legal and Internal Affairs calls. Family members may hear from the person before any roster is updated.
About Salem County Correctional Facility
Salem's mission statement focuses on safely and securely confining people committed to the Sheriff's Office - Department of Corrections for alleged or adjudicated violations of local, state or federal law. The listed goals include protecting society, maintaining a safe environment for staff and offenders, meeting physical and mental-health needs, protecting constitutional rights, maintaining trained staff, and offering programs and services that support reintegration after release.
For Gloucester County, Salem also sits inside a larger regionalization story. Gloucester's own pages say adults and juveniles are no longer housed in Gloucester County, bail is accepted at the current housing facility, and adult arrestees are admitted into Salem before possible transfer. That makes Salem a necessary facility page even though the building is outside Gloucester County.
Note: Confirm custody, visit eligibility and bail routing with Salem before traveling, because Gloucester arrestees may be transferred after classification.
