Locate Mid-State Correctional Facility Inmates

Mid-State Inmate Overview

Mid-State Correctional Facility is operated by the New Jersey Department of Corrections. The facility appears in Burlington County research as an NJDOC state correctional facility in the Fort Dix area, with a mailing reference of P.O. Box 866 in Wrightstown. It should not be described as a county jail, and its inmate lookup process should not be tied to county bail, county commissary, or county roster assumptions.

Mid-State holds sentenced NJDOC incarcerated persons. That means the facility is part of the state prison layer in Burlington County's correctional geography. An arrest in Burlington County may begin at a police department or the Burlington County Detention Center, but a person at Mid-State has moved into state prison custody. Once that transfer occurs, NJDOC controls facility placement, visits, mail, money, and most public custody display.

Mid-State Inmate Population

The research did not locate a current official capacity figure for Mid-State Correctional Facility. The strongest sourced population point in the Burlington County research is the NJDOC 2018 Annual Report, which listed Mid-State Correctional Facility with a population of 674 as of December 31, 2018. Use that as historical state-prison context, not as a current count or rated capacity.

A dated annual report figure can help distinguish Mid-State from nearby facilities, but it cannot answer whether a specific person is there now. For that, the NJDOC Offender Search is the controlling public lookup tool.

Mid-State Inmate Lookup

Use the NJDOC Offender Search to locate a person at Mid-State Correctional Facility. The county jail roster is not the controlling record for this facility. NJDOC says its offender search provides selected offender information, is updated biweekly, removes most offenders one year after the custodial term ends, and may exclude certain offenders when NJDOC or another law-enforcement agency determines exclusion is required.

1. Search the NJDOC locator by legal name, SBI number, or DOC number when an identifier is available.
2. Compare name, age, identifiers, and sentence information before assuming a match is the right person.
3. Check the current facility or location field. Use Mid-State rules only if the profile places the person at Mid-State.
4. For written questions about posted offender information, use the NJDOC correspondence process rather than phone inquiries to the locator office.

The NJDOC offender information page connects state prison search, VINE, and family resources.

That state resource is the correct starting point when a Burlington County case has moved from local detention to NJDOC custody.

Mid-State Visiting Schedule

Mid-State's researched schedule is more specific than the general state-prison instructions. NJDOC lists scheduling by phone at 609-723-4221 ext. 8407, Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Contact visits and non-contact visits have separate registration and visit windows. A contact visit allows approved physical contact within facility rules. A non-contact visit uses separation, often because of housing, status, or security rules.

The NJDOC visitation source includes Mid-State scheduling contacts and visit windows.

Registration windows are part of the schedule, so arriving only for the visit window may not be enough to complete entry processing.

Mid-State Mail and Money

Mid-State uses NJDOC statewide mail, phone, money, and communication systems. Burlington County Access Corrections, county Access Securepak rules, and county bail account procedures do not control state-prison deposits. Research identifies ViaPath and ConnectNetwork as the NJDOC deposit path and GettingOut as a state communication tool. NJDOC also announced changes connected to the transition away from JPay deposit services in 2025.

Confirm the inmate's current facility before sending funds or mail. State prison transfers can change the address, the visit office, and the relevant housing unit without any update to Burlington County jail pages.

Mid-State Custody Search Limits

Mid-State inmate search results are state correctional records. They do not show county booking charges, county bail payments, or a Burlington County jail housing wing. If the case is still in pretrial status, the person may be in the county detention center or another local holding arrangement. If the case is federal, the BOP locator is the better path. If the issue is immigration detention, ICE ODLS is separate from both NJDOC and county resources.

State sentence

A court disposition that places the person under NJDOC custody rather than county jail custody.

Contact visit

A visit type that may allow limited approved contact under facility rules and staff supervision.

Non-contact visit

A visit where the visitor and incarcerated person remain separated.

Facility location

The NJDOC profile field that tells whether Mid-State is the current placement.

Mid-State Facility Context

Mid-State's current research includes NJDOC PREA audit material and state-prison visitation records. PREA stands for the Prison Rape Elimination Act, a federal framework for preventing, detecting, and responding to sexual abuse and harassment in custody. Those audit materials are a better source for facility compliance and conditions context than county jail pages because Mid-State is in the NJDOC system.

For a Burlington County resident trying to sort out custody, the practical path is simple: county jail questions go to county correctional resources, sentenced state-prison questions go to NJDOC, and federal prison questions go to BOP. Mid-State belongs in the middle category.

That routing also affects family tasks. A county records office may help with a recent booking, bail confirmation, or local release question, but it cannot approve a Mid-State visit, change a state prison account, or update the NJDOC locator. When the facility field shows Mid-State, use the state prison phone, scheduling extension, and NJDOC family service channels.
