Atlantic County Jail
Atlantic County Jail was first built in 1985, with the purpose of housing approximately 350 offenders. Through multiple expansions over the years, the Atlantic County Justice Facility is now able to house approximately 1250 inmates. The jail houses both male and female offenders. Additionally inmates are housed temporarily while awaiting trial, long term offenders who have been sentenced by the county, and occasionally state sentenced offenders.

The job of the classification unit is to monitor the inmate and design a program of rehabilitation that addresses the mental and physical care of the offender, as well as ensure the safety of both the inmate and the staff. After completing the classification process, offenders will be moved to their housing unit.
