About the Middlesex County Correction Center
New Brunswick, Middlesex, has a long history of progressing and leading the way in the jails that they built. The unified Department of Corrections was created in 1978, and the new Adult Corrections Center opened shortly after, in 1984. The facility uses the direct supervision method which has officers directly within the housing units and in direct contact with the inmates. The sprawling building has several housing units and meets the needs of more than one security level, allowing for each inmate to have their specific needs met. Within the facility the staff focus on integrity, safety, security, efficiency, and preparedness. Each law enforcement officer wears a body camera which holds both the staff and the inmates responsible for their own actions, and helps to improve the sense of safety within the location. Phone calls are provided by gtl.net, and an account can be created to allow friends and family to receive calls from an inmate while they are incarcerated, but they will be unable to call the inmate directly. Visits are also provided to help inmates to stay in contact with their loved ones, and these must be planned ahead to ensure that the inmate will be available at the correct time. Visiting hours are posted on the website and video visits are available Wednesday and Friday from 12:30 pm to 3:15 pm and again from 5pm to 7:20pm, while Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday the hours are 8am to 10:30am and 12pm to 2:30pm. Two visits are permitted for each inmate each week, and the hours are for all inmates with no restriction based on housing or last names. Visits are 15 minutes or longer, and video visitation is available within the lobby of the jail for those who are unable to visit from home, and on video from a remote location for those who are unable to attend the jail.

Recent Bookings & Arrests

How do I find out if someone has been arrested and booked into the Middlesex County Correction Center?

To find out if someone you know has been recently arrested and booked into the Middlesex County Correction Center, call the jail’s booking line at 732-297-3636.

There may be an automated method of looking them up by their name over the phone, or you may be directed to speak to someone at the jail. Sometimes the jail staff may ask you the offender’s date of birth to ensure privacy of the offender’s status.

Keep in mind that after an arrest, the information on an offender may not be publicly available for several hours.

If you don’t want to check up on an offender by calling the jail, you can also try looking up people recently booked online.

Middlesex County Correction Center Booking Roster

What happens during booking in Middlesex County?

After being arrested and taken into custody, and after being read their Miranda Rights, an offender will next be transported to the local police or department or the Sheriff’s Department in Middlesex County for booking.

Booking is very involved and requires multiple steps in the process, however, keep in mind that most attorneys will advise that an offender remain silent and not offer any additional information about the crime they have been arrested for because anything they do say may be recorded and may very well be used against them in court.

What is the booking process like at the Middlesex County Correction Center?

Booking includes having their photo (mugshot) and fingerprints taken, as well as being asked a lot of questions about their personal history and state of mind. If it’s a serious felony, their DNA may also be taken. They will also be checked for warrants in Middlesex County and other New Jersey and USA jurisdictions.

If the offender was arrested for a DUI offense, and has refused a breathalyzer test, they may also be forced to have blood drawn by a doctor or nurse.

It is also very likely that the offender will undergo a humiliating full body search while in the nude. This includes bending over, spreading their cheeks in the direction of an officer, and coughing. They will also be walked through a metal detector or x-ray machine, like those used at an airport.

What kind of questions are asked during booking?

The arresting jurisdiction will ask about gang affiliations, tattoos, medical conditions, prescribed medication they are taking, recreational drugs they are on or addicted to, allergies, if they are suicidal, and other relevant information that will help with determining their cell assignment and special needs.

What happens to an offender’s personal property during booking?

During the arrest and booking process an offender will also have all their personal property confiscated and held for either their release from jail, or with the offender’s approval, released to a friend or family member.

Personal property includes the clothing they are wearing, money, wallets, purses, cell phones, jewelry, body rings, earrings, watches, and even glasses if they are deemed a security risk. If they are allowed to keep their shoes or sneakers, the laces are removed.

What happens after booking?

At this point the offender will be allowed to make a free phone call to a person of their choice to notify them of their arrest, and/or arrange a bond or bail for their release.

If the offender is being detained and housed while awaiting arraignment, the Middlesex County Correction Center will provide a jail garment and slip-on shoes, a blanket, sheets, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, and a towel.

Often, before they are dressed in the jail outfit and brought to their housing location, they will be forced to take a shower and undergo a disinfectant treatment for body and hair lice, scabies or other pests that may be residing on their person.

How long does the Middlesex County Correction Center Booking process take?

Booking can take anywhere from an hour to 24 hours or more. It all depends on the number of people that are awaiting processing, the number of staff on duty at the time, and the behavior of the offender.

If the offender is heavily intoxicated and/or violent, the Booking Officer may decide to stick the offender in a holding cell for several hours until they become more manageable.
