Cumberland County Jail Custody

The Cumberland County Department of Corrections operates the county jail in Bridgeton. County records identify the office address as P.O. Box 717, 54 W. Broad Street, Bridgeton, NJ 08302, with the main phone at 856-453-4883 and fax at 856-453-9501. The current county corrections page lists Warden Floyd Cossaboon, Assistant Warden Ronald Tomlin, and separate captain, shift, medical, social service, and commissary contacts. The jail is not run by the sheriff's office for ordinary inmate services. For jail records, visits, accounts, mail, and medical or reentry contacts, the county Department of Corrections pages are the more direct source.

The facility holds adults arrested in Cumberland County, people awaiting court action, county-sentenced inmates, and some people whose housing status may be affected by farm-out or shared-service arrangements. That last point matters locally. The BlueHorse profile inventory includes a Farm-Out Loc field, and the county has reported using shared-service housing when the Bridgeton facility cannot hold the full daily count. A person can be tied to a Cumberland County case and still have a housing note, transfer, detainer, or outside-county placement that makes a single roster screen incomplete.

Cumberland County Jail Population

Cumberland County does not publish a current rated-capacity number on the county pages reviewed. The population record is still well sourced. A U.S. Department of Justice investigation described the Bridgeton jail as a building first constructed in the 1940s and expanded several times, with a typical investigation-period population of about 300 to 350 prisoners. County 2025 press material later described an average detainee count of about 400 and said the local facility lacked capacity to hold all locally, which led to shared-service housing such as Hudson County placements.

Cumberland County Jail Roster Lookup

The official online path begins at the county incarcerated-person services page, which links to the BlueHorse incarcerated-person lookup. During research, the county-linked BlueHorse interface loaded as an HTTP roster while the HTTPS endpoint showed a certificate problem. Use the county page as the starting point, then treat BlueHorse as the county roster for current Cumberland County Jail custody. It is not the locator for South Woods, Bayside, FCI Fairton, or ICE custody.

The BlueHorse current-inmate interface shows first-name and last-name fields for current inmates. A clicked result can open profile areas for the photo block, demographics, charges, detainers, bonds, court, and incarceration information when those fields are public. The past-inmate side supports name, Perm ID, State ID, date range, Search, Clear, and Books 24hr controls if the public setting is enabled.

1. Open the county incarcerated-person services page and use the Search button to reach the BlueHorse jail-management interface.
2. Start on the Inmates tab for current Cumberland County Jail custody, using last name, first name, or both.
3. Click the result name and check charges, detainers, bonds, court, and incarceration information instead of relying on the name list alone.
4. If no match appears, check the past-inmate tab, call the jail, or use OPRA for records not shown online.

The BlueHorse current-inmate screen captured in the project manifest shows the public first and last name search fields at the county roster interface.

This is the correct lookup context for local county jail custody, not for state prison or federal prison records.

Cumberland County Inmate Record Fields

A roster result is a custody snapshot. It may show arrest or booking charge text, but it is not a final court judgment. The public profile inventory found in the research includes a booking photo area, name, demographics, booking number, jacket number, state identifiers, charges, detainers, bonds, court information, housing data, and release or farm-out fields when enabled. For charge history after an arrest, pair the jail profile with court records rather than treating the roster as the final case record.

For broader custody help, the local roster workflow is covered in the Cumberland County jail inmate records page.

Cumberland County Jail Visits

Cumberland County publishes separate visit rules for virtual, professional, main jail, annex jail, and pastoral visits. Off-site virtual internet visits use CCDOCVisit/ViaPath, and the ConnectNetwork facility page also points users to visitation scheduling and video visitation. Attorney and professional visits are handled by appointment only. The county states that no walk-ins are accepted for those visits, so the visitor should call before arriving.

The ViaPath visitor login screenshot shows the web portal used to schedule and manage Cumberland County video visits.

The portal image belongs with visit scheduling only. It does not replace the roster or confirm custody status.

Cumberland County Jail Mail and Money

County mail rules use the term incarcerated person and require a specific name and county number format. All mail except legal mail from an attorney or law firm is searched. Books must be softcover and sent directly from the authorized publisher. The county allows up to seven pictures, each up to 5 by 7 inches, with no nudity. No colored envelopes or magazines are accepted. Contraband can lead to investigation and prosecution.

The county accounts page screenshot documents the Keefe commissary contact, deposit methods, and $3.00 vending fee.

The account rules are local jail rules. They should not be used for NJDOC or BOP deposits.

Cumberland County Jail Search Fallbacks

If BlueHorse does not find the person, the next step depends on custody type. Call the Department of Corrections main number for urgent local custody questions. Use Cumberland County OPRA and NextRequest for local booking or jail records not displayed online. Search NJDOC for sentenced state prisoners at South Woods, Bayside, or another state prison. Search the BOP locator for FCI Fairton or other federal custody. Use ICE's detainee locator for immigration custody and VINE for custody or case notifications.

Detainer

A hold from another agency that can keep a person in custody even when one charge appears resolved.

Farm-out

A housing placement at another facility through shared service or transfer, a known Cumberland County capacity issue.

County number

The local identifier used in the jail mail format for an incarcerated person.

Note: Confirm custody, visit approval, and mail rules with the jail before traveling or sending funds.

Cumberland County Jail Background

The local jail has a documented building and conditions history. DOJ described the Bridgeton jail as originally built in the 1940s and expanded several times. The DOJ investigation also reported that CFG Health Systems had provided medical and mental-health services at the jail since 2013. County incarcerated-person services list medical leadership contacts and a reentry coordinator, including Eugenio Portalatin for reentry at 856-453-4549. The county also has an internal affairs page for complaints about officers, including mail and email submission channels.

Cumberland County's current jail story is tied to space. The 2025 county statement says an earlier new-jail effort was abandoned in 2020, and later boards used shared-service agreements while pursuing a long-term solution. This context helps explain why a roster profile may show farm-out language, why a person may be associated with a Cumberland County case but not housed in the expected place, and why phone confirmation is still useful after an online roster search.
