Union County Inmate Population is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, schedule a visit, or pull official booking records. Use the office or locator that controls the record.
Where to Check First
Union County custody questions often start with the Sheriff's Office Division of Corrections, then move to Essex or Hudson if the person has been transferred for housing. The sheriff's headquarters is at 10 Elizabethtown Plaza, Elizabeth, NJ 07207, phone 908-527-4450 and fax 908-527-4455. Sheriff Peter D. Corvelli Jr. is the county sheriff.
The Division of Corrections intake hub is at 15 Elizabethtown Plaza, Elizabeth, NJ 07207. Its public phone is 908-558-2600 and fax is 908-558-2375. Captain Anthony Davis is listed as Officer in Charge. Questions about information shown on the Union County inmate lookup may be sent in writing to the Classification Unit at the same 15 Elizabethtown Plaza address.
For housing location, Union County's visiting instructions point readers to Essex County at 973-274-3001 and Hudson County at 201-395-5600. Essex County Correctional Facility also lists a main department phone of 973-274-7500. The official Union County pages reviewed did not publish a general public lobby schedule for every records function, so call before visiting a jail, sheriff, or OPRA office.
For sheriff or corrections records that are not posted in a public lookup, the sheriff's OPRA page routes requesters to Union County's OPRA process. Written requests are recommended, and ordinary OPRA timing in New Jersey is generally seven business days unless an exception, storage issue, or redaction rule applies.
- For a person in the county jail system, start with jail inmate records and the Union County corrections phone line.
- For booking photos, use jail roster mugshots and the OPRA path if the photo is not posted.
- For charges filed after an arrest, check court records after a jail arrest through New Jersey Courts.
- For a specific jail or detention center, use the facility page listed in the footer for its address and phone.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the New Jersey Department of Corrections offender search.
- For federal custody or immigration detention, use the BOP inmate locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
