Warren County Correctional Center Releases
A person leaving Warren County Correctional Center may return to the community after bond, a pretrial order, dismissal, time served, or completion of a county term. Some exits are conditional. Probation can follow a court sentence, and electronic monitoring or the County Labor Assistance Program can keep legal conditions in place while the person spends time outside the building. The release entry and court judgment should be read together when the outcome is unclear.
Other exits are transfers. A state-prison commitment moves the person to New Jersey Department of Corrections custody. A detainer can send the person to another county, state, federal, or immigration authority. The Warren booking may close even though confinement continues. Ask for the release disposition and receiving agency. “Transferred,” “released to,” and “hold” should never be restated as a community release without checking the next custodian.
| Exit path | Best next record |
|---|---|
| Community release | Warren actual release entry and court disposition |
| NJDOC transfer | NJDOC offender history and receiving facility |
| Another local authority | Receiving jail or agency record |
| Federal or immigration hold | BOP, ICE, federal docket, or responsible federal office |
Confirm Warren County Correctional Center Releases
The official Warren County Sheriff FAQ directs current-custody, tentative-release, and hold questions to the Correctional Center. That phone channel is useful because no official Warren roster exists. A date quoted before the event remains tentative. Court action, processing, or another-agency hold can prevent the expected departure. Historical proof comes from the executed release entry rather than from a forecast.
- Call the Center at 908-475-7900 with the person’s full name and other known identifiers.
- Ask whether the person is currently held and whether any date given is tentative or an actual completed release.
- If the person left, ask whether the recorded disposition was community release or transfer.
- For written proof, request the booking-linked actual date, time, disposition, and receiving authority from County Public Information.
- Check NJDOC, BOP, ICE, VINE, or the court only when that system fits the recorded path.
The full Warren County released inmate search and records process explains how to reconcile those systems. Preserve the agency name, identifier, and time checked. If sources conflict, favor the office that owns the custody event and ask it to explain its record.
Warren County Correctional Center Records
The facility handles current inmate information, while Warren County Public Information serves as the government-records route for Corrections-held booking and release material. Do not send a jail record request to the Sheriff merely because the Sheriff publishes a separate OPRA page. The county identifies Corrections and the Commissioners as the jail operator, so the request should reach the custodian that controls the record.

The Warren County Sheriff’s Office has a different process for records that the Sheriff created. Its OPRA contact is at the county courthouse, 413 Second Street, Belvidere, with phone 908-475-6309. That channel can fit a Sheriff record, but it should not displace the county custodian for a Corrections booking or release entry. Send each request to the office that made or controls the requested record.
Warren County Correctional Center Profile
Warren County Correctional Center is an adult county correctional facility operated through the Warren County Corrections Department. The county assigns its care, custody, and control to the Board of County Commissioners. The published administrator is Warden Daniel Broesder. The Center houses male and female adults and also manages alternative-custody programs described by the county.
The facility was designed for 76 people and reached its current published capacity through internal renovation. Its podular layout uses remote and direct supervision. These are building and population facts. They are not annual admissions, release totals, average length of stay, or evidence of how many people left during a recent period. Warren’s published statistics do not supply a release-time distribution or annual release count.
Request Warren County Correctional Center Records
Use the Warren County government-records portal or form for an existing Corrections booking and release record. State the full name, identifier if known, and approximate booking dates. Ask for the admission date and time, actual release date and time, release reason or disposition, and receiving or transfer agency if recorded. A narrowly framed request seeks an existing record instead of asking the office to investigate or create a report.
The county form allows pickup, mail, on-site inspection, fax, and email. It lists paper copy rates of $0.05 per letter-size page and $0.07 per legal-size page, with other media and postage at actual cost. A deposit may be requested when reproduction costs exceed $5, and extraordinary work can carry a disclosed special-service charge. Electronic delivery can avoid paper-copy expense.
New Jersey OPRA generally calls for an ordinary complete request to be answered as soon as possible and no later than seven business days, subject to lawful extensions, storage rules, exemptions, and other circumstances. If material is withheld, the response should identify the legal basis. Court documents follow Judiciary rules instead of this county executive-branch process.
Warren Alternative Custody Status
The County Labor Assistance Program can let a court-authorized participant serve straight-time days on weekends while remaining in the community during the rest of the week. The county reports roughly 20 adults in that program as facility context. Electronic monitoring is another alternative to conventional detention, with published capacity for up to six adults and six juveniles. Those numbers describe program cohorts, not people released on a given date.
A person seen away from the Center may still have an active program obligation. Weekday presence in the community is not proof that the sentence is fully discharged. Confirm the court order, Corrections program status, and final completion entry. The same caution applies to electronic monitoring: physical location outside the jail does not necessarily end legal custody or supervision.
- Community release
- A completed facility exit into the community, with any separate court or supervision terms still possible.
- Alternative custody
- A structured program that permits time outside conventional detention while obligations continue.
- Transfer
- An exit from Warren County Correctional Center followed by custody under another authority.
Warren County Correctional Center Release Context
The Center opened in 1986 with a smaller original design and expanded its working capacity inside the existing structure. Its remote and direct supervision model, adult population, Labor Assistance Program, and electronic monitoring explain why a simple inside-or-outside assumption can fail. The correct question is not merely whether the person remains in the building. It is whether the specific custody episode ended, continued through an alternative program, or transferred to another agency.
Warren publishes no official release hours, public exit procedure, property-return policy, booking-photo gallery, mobile jail app, or archive window. Those gaps must stay explicit. Call the Center about current procedure rather than relying on a generic jail timetable. For a past event, seek the existing release record. A custodian response is stronger than a third-party page that may carry a stale name or wrong jurisdiction.
Warren County Correctional Center Transfers
A person sentenced in Warren Superior Court may enter NJDOC custody even though no state prison is located in Warren County. Search the statewide NJDOC Offender Search by SBI number or identifying name data. Current facility information shows the state location. Date Out-of-Custody can confirm the later end of a matched state correctional episode. Current Max Release Date and Current Parole Eligibility Date remain projections.
Federal cases use separate channels. BOP has no institution identified in Warren County, and no reviewed source establishes a current Warren jail contract with ICE or the U.S. Marshals Service. A Warren entry that says “released to ICE,” “detainer,” or “hold” indicates a custody handoff, not freedom from detention. Use the ICE locator or responsible field office for immigration custody, the BOP locator for a federal sentence, and federal court or USMS records for federal pretrial custody. Apply those systems only when the individual record supports the connection.
Note: A receiving-agency record can show that custody continued after Warren County closed its own booking.
