How to Search the Gloucester Township Jail Roster
To search for someone on the Gloucester Township jail roster, start with the Camden County Correctional Facility. Gloucester Township does not maintain its own public jail roster because all detainees are transferred to the county facility after arrest. Call the Camden County Correctional Facility at (856) 225-7635 to check if a person arrested in Gloucester Township is currently in custody. Staff can look up records by name and provide basic booking information.
Camden County also offers an online inmate search tool. This allows you to check the jail roster from any device without making a phone call. Enter the person's name to see if they are currently held at the facility. The online search pulls from the same system that corrections staff access, so results reflect the most current jail roster data available.
You can also call the Gloucester Township Police Department at (856) 228-4011. Officers at headquarters can confirm whether a person was recently arrested and whether they have been transported to the county jail. This is useful when the arrest happened within the last few hours and the person may still be at the police station awaiting transfer to the Camden County facility.
For people who have been sentenced and moved to state prison, the county jail roster will no longer list them. Use the New Jersey Department of Corrections inmate finder to search state facilities. This free tool covers all state prisons and is available online at any time.
What Happens After an Arrest in Gloucester Township
When Gloucester Township police arrest someone, the process starts at police headquarters on Chews Landing Road. Officers record personal details, photograph the individual, and take fingerprints. Charges are formally entered into the booking system. This information creates the foundation of the jail roster record for that person.
After processing at the Gloucester Township station, the person is transported to the Camden County Correctional Facility at 330 Federal Street in Camden. The county facility handles pretrial detention for all of Camden County. Corrections officers at the facility conduct their own intake procedure, which includes a medical screening, property collection, housing assignment, and formal entry into the county jail roster. The intake process can take several hours depending on facility activity.
Under New Jersey's bail reform system, a judge reviews each case to determine whether the person should be released or held. Risk assessments consider the severity of charges, prior criminal history, and the person's ties to the community. Some people arrested in Gloucester Township are released shortly after their court appearance. Others remain at the county jail through the duration of their case. The jail roster record persists on file regardless of whether the person is released or held.
Gloucester Township Jail Roster Records
Each record on the Gloucester Township jail roster includes the essential details of the arrest. The person's full legal name, date of birth, and home address are documented. All charges filed by Gloucester Township police appear on the record along with a unique booking number. The date, time, and location of the arrest are logged, as well as the name of the arresting officer.
Once the person arrives at the Camden County Correctional Facility, additional information is added to the record. This includes the housing unit assignment, bail status, and upcoming court dates. If a judge sets bail, the record shows the amount and whether it has been posted. Court scheduling information tells you when the person is expected to appear before a Camden County judge. All of these details are linked to the original Gloucester Township arrest.
The jail roster changes throughout the day as new bookings come in and releases occur. A listing on the jail roster does not mean guilt.
