Atlantic County Justice Facility Overview
Atlantic County Justice Facility is a county adult detention facility in Mays Landing operated by the Atlantic County Department of Public Safety, Division of Adult Detention. It belongs on a Burlington County facility list for one specific reason: Burlington County's Female Offenders page states that female offenders are no longer housed in Burlington County and directs inquiries to Atlantic County Department of Corrections. That makes the Atlantic facility a serving or routing facility for certain Burlington County custody questions, not the primary Burlington County jail.
The distinction matters. A Burlington County arrest does not automatically mean the person is housed at 54 Grant Street in Mount Holly. For male adult county custody, the Burlington County Detention Center is the normal local jail path. For female offenders, Burlington's own instructions point to Atlantic County for inquiries and visiting information. If the person has been sentenced to state prison, transferred to federal custody, or held under immigration authority, still use NJDOC, BOP, or ICE systems rather than treating Atlantic County as the final lookup answer.
The county's Female Offenders page is the source that connects Burlington County inmate research to Atlantic County Justice Facility.
That routing notice is narrow but important: it affects bail and visiting questions for female offenders and prevents a searcher from assuming every Burlington County jail case is housed locally.
Atlantic County Justice Facility Capacity and Population
Burlington County's female-offender page provides the Atlantic contact block but does not publish a Burlington-specific capacity or bed allocation for the Atlantic facility. Atlantic County's official adult detention information states that the facility houses an average of 650 inmates. Use that as an Atlantic facility average, not a Burlington County female-offender count. Burlington County did not publish the number of Burlington female offenders housed there in the research material, and the Burlington County ICRA report for June 30, 2022 listed 0 female in the local county corrections population.
The practical takeaway is to avoid converting an Atlantic facility average into a Burlington County jail statistic. For a specific person, the useful facts are current custody location, legal name, date of birth, active holds, bail status, and whether Burlington or Atlantic staff can answer the particular question.
How to Look Up an Inmate at Atlantic County Justice Facility
For Burlington County research, start by deciding whether the person is a female offender whose housing or visiting questions may be routed through Atlantic County. Burlington County does not expose a verified public desktop roster in the inspected county pages, so a Burlington arrest may require phone confirmation, VINE, OPRA, and the correct destination facility. Atlantic County controls its own facility procedures, so confirm the current lookup and visiting requirements directly with Atlantic County when the person may be housed in Mays Landing.
- Confirm the person is connected to a Burlington County case and may be a female offender housed outside Burlington County.
- Call Atlantic County Justice Facility at 609-645-5855 with the person's full legal name, date of birth if known, and the Burlington County case or arrest details.
- For bail questions, remember Burlington says female-offender bail may be posted at Burlington County Jail or Atlantic County Jail, so confirm the current total and accepted process before travel.
- Ask which facility currently controls visiting, mail, phone, and commissary instructions because those rules come from the housing facility.
- If Atlantic has no custody record, use Burlington Department of Corrections, New Jersey VINE, NJDOC Offender Search, BOP locator, or ICE ODLS depending on the likely custody layer.
Do not treat an Atlantic inquiry as proof that the original Burlington County case changed counties. The criminal case may still belong to Burlington County courts while the housing, visiting, and day-to-day detention questions run through Atlantic County staff.
Atlantic County Justice Facility Address and Contact
The Burlington routing page gives the Atlantic address, phone, fax, and agency reference. Use the Atlantic facility contact for female-offender visiting and housing questions. Use Burlington County Department of Corrections records/bail contacts when the question is about Burlington case bail, additional holds, or whether bail can be posted in Mount Holly.

Visiting Someone at Atlantic County Justice Facility
Burlington County's research file captured Burlington's routing statement and Atlantic's contact block, not a full Atlantic County visiting schedule inventory. That means the accurate approach is to identify the facility, call Atlantic County for the current visiting process, and avoid importing Burlington County's Mount Holly wing schedule into a Mays Landing facility. Burlington County explicitly directs all female-offender and visiting-information inquiries to Atlantic County Department of Corrections.
| Visit Question | Current Source to Use | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Female offender visiting | Atlantic County Justice Facility, 609-645-5855 | Burlington says female offenders are no longer housed locally. |
| Burlington male county custody | Burlington County Detention Center | The Mount Holly jail schedule does not govern Atlantic housing. |
| Bail before visiting | Burlington records/bail or Atlantic, depending on posting location | Charges, warrants, and holds may change release status. |
| Schedule, ID, dress, minors | Confirm directly with Atlantic before travel | The captured Burlington research did not include Atlantic's full rule set. |
| State or federal transfer | NJDOC, BOP, or ICE lookup channel | Those systems use their own visitation rules. |
Mail, Phone, and Money at Atlantic County Justice Facility
Mail, phone, and deposit rules generally follow the facility that physically houses the person. For Burlington County female offenders housed at Atlantic County Justice Facility, do not use Burlington County's P.O. Box 6000 mail format, GTL account instructions, Access Corrections deposit options, or Access Securepak package process unless Atlantic County confirms a compatible instruction. The Burlington rules remain useful for male county custody at the Burlington County Detention Center, but outside housing requires outside-facility confirmation.
The Burlington County Inmate Resources hub shows how the Mount Holly jail organizes mail, money, commissary, health, and tablet information for local county custody.
For the Atlantic page, that image helps show the contrast: Burlington publishes local-resource links for its own jail, while female-offender housing questions are routed to Atlantic County because the person may not be housed in Burlington County at all.
| Service | Provider / Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail Address | Confirm with Atlantic County Justice Facility before sending mail to a Burlington female offender. |
| Phone / Video | Use the Atlantic facility's current inmate communication instructions. |
| Money Deposit | Confirm the accepted deposit vendor and inmate identifier with Atlantic before sending funds. |
| Burlington-local services | Use Burlington's jail-resource pages only when the person is housed at the Burlington County Detention Center. |
Booking and Intake for Burlington Cases Routed to Atlantic County
A Burlington County arrest may begin with a local police department, sheriff or court warrant, surrender, or another law-enforcement agency. Adult county custody normally points to the Burlington County Detention Center in Mount Holly, where identification, property inventory, medical screening, classification, and jail ID creation occur. Female-offender housing is the exception highlighted in Burlington County's own public material. The person may have a Burlington County case, Burlington County bail issue, or Burlington County court appearance while day-to-day housing questions are handled by Atlantic County.
Because those responsibilities can split across agencies, ask separate questions when calling. One question is, "Where is the person housed right now?" Another is, "Which office can confirm current bail, warrants, and holds?" A third is, "Which facility controls visits, mail, phone calls, and money?" Keeping those questions separate helps avoid the common mistake of calling the housing facility for a court record or calling Burlington for an Atlantic visiting rule.
Bail, Records, and OPRA Fallbacks
Burlington County's bail page says people should check with the Records Office before posting because additional charges or other jurisdictions may affect the total amount needed. For female offenders, Burlington states bail may be posted at Burlington County Jail in Mount Holly or at Atlantic County Jail in Mays Landing. That statement is useful, but it does not replace a current bail confirmation. Call before traveling, and make sure the person posting understands all lodged charges, fees, warrants, and accepted payment methods at the chosen location.
If the question is about a public record rather than a live custody or visit issue, Burlington County OPRA may still be the correct fallback for Burlington County jail, arrest, booking, or bail records that are not available online. Write the request narrowly, identify the Burlington County Department of Corrections when relevant, and include the person's name, date of birth if known, date range, arresting agency, complaint number, and the specific record requested.
Custody-Type Distinctions for Atlantic Routing
Atlantic County Justice Facility is a county detention facility. It does not turn a Burlington County case into an Atlantic County court case, and it does not replace state or federal lookup systems. If a person is sentenced to state prison, New Jersey Department of Corrections controls the public offender search and facility policies. If a person is sentenced to federal prison, the Bureau of Prisons locator is the correct public search. If immigration custody is involved, ICE ODLS is the official detainee locator. New Jersey VINE can help with custody or case notifications, but it is a notification service rather than the jail record itself.
Those distinctions are especially important in Burlington County because the local facility map includes a county jail in Mount Holly, a serving county jail in Mays Landing for female-offender routing, state prisons in the Burlington area, and FCI Fort Dix as a federal prison. The first lookup question should always be custody level: county, outside county housing, state prison, federal prison, or immigration detention.
About Atlantic County Justice Facility
Atlantic County Justice Facility is located at 5060 Atlantic Avenue in Mays Landing. For Burlington County readers, the facility's role is limited and practical: it is the official inquiry point named by Burlington County for female offenders and visiting information. It should not be described as the Burlington County Detention Center, a Burlington County government building, or a facility physically located in Burlington County.
When planning a visit or trying to send money, use the housing facility's rules. When trying to understand the Burlington court case, bail, charges, or OPRA access to Burlington records, use Burlington County and New Jersey court channels. When no agency can locate the person, widen the search by checking VINE, NJDOC, BOP, and ICE according to the case type and likely transfer path.
Note: Confirm current housing, visiting, bail, and money rules with Atlantic or Burlington before travel or payment.
