Burlington County Detention Center Inmate Search

Burlington County Detention Center Overview

Burlington County Detention Center is operated by the Burlington County Department of Corrections. The county staff directory places the facility at 54 Grant St. in Mount Holly, while the corrections department uses P.O. Box 6000 for mail. The county corrections page names Teechey Blango as Warden-Corrections and presents the jail as the county agency responsible for detention, judicial sanctions, public safety, humane custody, rehabilitation support, and correctional programs.

This is the county jail path for adult male county custody, local booking, bail confirmation, visiting, mail, inmate phone accounts, commissary, and correctional programming. It is not the statewide New Jersey Department of Corrections locator and it is not the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Burlington County specifically states that female offenders are no longer housed locally, so female-offender bail and visiting inquiries may be routed to Atlantic County. Youth are also not housed in Burlington County juvenile detention; county youth placement is a separate juvenile system and should not be treated as an adult jail roster issue.

The county's Department of Corrections main page is a useful source for the official corrections contact block, current notices, and linked inmate-resource pages.

The page is important because it confirms the jail is under the county Department of Corrections and gives the correctional contact context that should be used before relying on unofficial roster pages.

Burlington County Detention Center Capacity and Population

No current rated capacity was located in the inspected official county pages. The best available population figures are dated reference points, not a live jail count. The Prison Policy Initiative table reports 526 people for "Burlington Co. Det. Ctr., Corr. Ctr. & Work Release" from the 2013 Census of Jail Facilities survey dated December 31, 2013. Burlington County's isolated-confinement quarterly report lists a total facility population of 370 on June 30, 2022, including 324 male and 0 female in that report. Because the demographic rows in that report appear incomplete or internally inconsistent, the safest use is the total count and male/female entries with the report date attached.

Use those numbers to understand scale, not to decide whether someone is currently held. The active question still needs a custody confirmation through the facility, the records/bail numbers, New Jersey VINE, an OPRA request, or the correct state or federal locator after transfer.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Burlington County Detention Center

The inspected Burlington County pages did not reveal a verified public desktop jail roster. That means the correct workflow starts with official contacts and fallback channels rather than a promised online inmate list. Start by confirming the person is likely in adult Burlington County custody. If the arrest is recent, use the person's full legal name, date of birth if known, arresting agency, approximate arrest date, and complaint or case number if available. For a broader county-custody guide, use the local Burlington County jail inmate records page.

1. Check the Burlington County Department of Corrections and detention-center directory pages to confirm the correct facility and agency.
2. Call the detention center or Department of Corrections for county custody questions, especially when no public roster result exists.
3. For bail, release, or holds, call Records Office confirmation at 609-265-5801 or 609-265-5802 before traveling or posting money.
4. If the person is female, follow the county female-offender routing to Atlantic County Department of Corrections rather than assuming local housing.
5. Use New Jersey VINE as a notification supplement, and use NJDOC Offender Search or the BOP locator only when the person has moved into state or federal custody.

New bookings may not be immediately visible through public online tools, and Burlington County did not publish a roster refresh interval in the inspected material. A release question is time-sensitive because additional charges, out-of-county warrants, or another agency hold can change the practical result even after a bail amount is known.

Burlington County Detention Center Address and Contact

The detention-center address and contact block should be kept separate from the Sheriff's Office and other county offices. The Sheriff's Office, Prosecutor's Office, county administration, historic prison museum, and modern detention center are all associated with Mount Holly government locations, but they do not serve the same function for custody lookup.

Visiting Someone at Burlington County Detention Center

Burlington County says the jail offers both contact and non-contact visiting. Contact visiting is a privilege, not an automatic right. After an inmate has been incarcerated for 90 days, the inmate may request contact visits and administration reviews the file before approving or denying the request. The temporary non-contact booth schedule captured in county material uses rotating housing-wing assignments, so visitors should confirm the person's current wing, eligibility, and the current schedule before leaving for Mount Holly.

The county's Visiting and Calling page explains child-visitor restrictions, state-of-emergency cancellations, and the GTL calling account path.

Those rules matter because visitor eligibility, identification, children, and emergency cancellations can affect a visit even when the person is confirmed in custody.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Burlington County Detention Center

Mail must use the inmate's full name and jail ID number, which is one reason a phone confirmation may still be needed even when family knows the person's name. Burlington County lists P.O. Box 6000 in Mount Holly for inmate mail. The county also publishes package restrictions, including a one-package-per-month rule as of May 1, 2021, and a rule that Amazon Prime packages are not accepted. Confirm the current item list before ordering clothing or property because package rules can change.

The county's Inmate Money and Commissary page identifies Access Corrections for deposits and Access Securepak for commissary packages.

The money page is separate from bail. Deposits support an inmate account or commissary access; bail questions should go through the records/bail confirmation numbers because bail can be changed by new charges, holds, or other jurisdictions.

Booking and Intake at Burlington County Detention Center

A person arrested in Burlington County may first be held briefly by a municipal police department, sheriff/court warrant unit, or another arresting agency before transport to the detention center. At intake, the jail process normally includes identity confirmation, search, property inventory, fingerprints and photograph where applicable, medical and mental-health screening, classification, jail ID creation, and housing assignment. Burlington County's mail rules confirm the jail ID is operationally important, and the temporary visiting schedule confirms public housing labels such as B-Wing through I-Wing.

After intake, court status controls much of what happens next. New Jersey's pretrial system may lead to release conditions, detention review, or continued custody. Burlington County still publishes bail-posting rules for cases where monetary bail applies, but the county warns that total bail may change as additional charges or other jurisdictions are lodged. That is why the Records Office numbers should be used before anyone posts cash, a certified or cashier's check, a postal money order, a credit-card payment, property bail, or a surety bond.

County Jail, State Prison, Federal Custody, and Outside Housing

The Burlington County Detention Center handles county-level adult detention. A sentenced state-prison case belongs to New Jersey Department of Corrections, where the NJDOC Offender Search is the lookup path and county jail mail or money rules no longer apply. A federal sentence belongs to the Bureau of Prisons, where the BOP locator shows limited federal identity, location, and release-date data. Immigration detention uses ICE ODLS, not a county jail roster. Female offender housing is a separate local routing issue because Burlington County states female offenders are no longer housed in Burlington County and directs inquiries to Atlantic County Department of Corrections.

About Burlington County Detention Center

The detention center sits in the Mount Holly government area near other county offices, which can create confusion for visitors. The modern custody address is 54 Grant Street. County administration, the Sheriff's Office, and the Prosecutor's Office use 49 Rancocas Road for separate functions. The Historic Burlington County Prison Museum at 128 High Street is a different site and should not be used for modern inmate lookup or visiting questions.

Burlington County also publishes local correctional program information. The Home Electronic Detention System is an alternative-to-incarceration program that depends on eligibility and Warden approval. The Community Service weekend program allows certain court-sentenced inmates to work off sentences on weekends under jail-administrator discretion. The county PREA page states a zero-tolerance policy for sexual abuse and sexual harassment and lists Captain R. Inman as PREA coordinator at 609-265-5947.
