Warren County Jail Overview
Warren County Correctional Center is an adult correctional facility at 175 County Route 519 South, Belvidere, NJ 07823-1950. It is operated by the Warren County Corrections Department under the Warren County Board of County Commissioners. The facility is the key jail for Hunterdon County users because Hunterdon County contracted with Warren in January 2020 to house all Hunterdon County inmates after local processing. That makes Warren the place where most practical custody rules apply after a person leaves Hunterdon County Correctional Facility.
The direct command officer is Warden Daniel Broesder. Warren describes the building as a podular facility operated through both remote and direct supervision. People are classified when they enter so staff can assign minimum, medium, or maximum security housing. The jail holds adult offenders from Warren County and contracted Hunterdon County inmates. It also runs alternative custody programs that affect the broader local jail population, including a County Labor Assistance Program and electronic monitoring.
Warren's separate public pages cover bail, visits, mail, telephone privileges, inmate accounts, directions, statistics, and immigration-enforcement cooperation. Those topics matter for Hunterdon County families because the person may be reported first by Hunterdon but served day to day by Warren after transfer.
Warren Jail Capacity
Warren County Correctional Center opened in 1986 with an original design capacity of 76 adult offenders. Internal renovations later raised the operating capacity to 176 adult offenders. Warren reports a typical daily population between 145 and 155 male and female adult offenders. The facility also reports about 20 people in the County Labor Assistance Program and electronic monitoring capacity or use of up to 6 adults and 6 juveniles. These are Warren total facility figures, so they should not be read as a Hunterdon-only count.
| Population Item | Reported Figure | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Original design | 76 adult offenders | Historical capacity |
| Current operating capacity | 176 adult offenders | Facility capacity reference |
| Typical daily population | 145-155 adult offenders | Warren total ADP range |
| Labor Assistance | About 20 adult offenders | Alternative sentence program |
| Electronic Monitoring | Up to 6 adults and 6 juveniles | Detention alternative |
Warren County Inmate Lookup
For a Hunterdon County arrest, Warren County Correctional Center inmate lookup starts with the Hunterdon current-population PDF because Hunterdon creates the public active-charge report and HC number. After that, Warren should be contacted to confirm that the person has been transferred and is physically housed in Belvidere. The Hunterdon report is a corrections snapshot, while Warren controls visit, mail, phone, account, and bail logistics after transfer. Users searching more broadly can compare the jail workflow with the Hunterdon County jail inmate records lookup route.
- Search the Hunterdon Current Population and Active Charges PDF for the person's name or HC number.
- Read the active charge description and bail or no-bail notation shown by Hunterdon.
- Call Warren County Correctional Center at 908-475-7900 to confirm transfer and housing.
- Ask which Warren rules apply for visits, account deposits, phone setup, mail, and bail posting.
- If the person is sentenced to state prison, switch to the NJDOC locator instead of the county jail path.
Lookup distinction: Hunterdon reports the local active-charge population; Warren manages the contracted jail housing after transfer.
Warren Jail Contact
The Warren phone number is the practical confirmation line for transferred Hunterdon inmates. It should be used before a visit, before posting bail, before mailing money, and before sending property-sensitive mail. Warren also publishes a fax line, but urgent inmate status should be verified by phone.

Warren Jail Visits
Warren County Correctional Center visits are controlled by the inmate's visitor list and facility security rules. The inmate completes the visitor list during intake. A visitor who is not on that list should not expect entry. Warren states that visitors must arrive at least 15 minutes before the visit for screening, visits last 30 minutes, and a maximum of two visitors may visit an inmate at one time. Visit access can be denied for a specific visit, and the visitor must leave facility property if denied.
| Visit Item | Warren Rule | What To Do |
|---|---|---|
| Visitor list | Visitor must be on the inmate's approved list | Confirm listing before travel |
| Arrival | At least 15 minutes early | Allow time for screening |
| Duration | 30 minutes | Plan a short visit window |
| Visitors | Two visitors per inmate at one time | Do not bring extra guests |
| Schedule | Assigned by housing area | Call for the person's current housing schedule |
Note: Warren rules make the housing assignment important, so confirm the visit day after the inmate has been classified.
Warren Mail Phone Money
Warren County Correctional Center publishes detailed jail service rules. Mail should include the sender's full name and address plus the inmate name and number. Books and magazines must be sent directly from the publisher. Money orders are allowed by mail if they contain sender information, while personal checks and cash should not be sent. Inmate phone access begins in intake with broad calling access and then shifts to a PIN and approved-number system.

Warren Bail Posting
Warren County's bail page gives the practical posting route for a Hunterdon inmate housed in Belvidere. The first step is always verification. Bail status can change after court action, and a separate hold can block release even when money is posted. During normal business hours, bail may be posted at the municipality or Superior Court where the charges originated. The payment receipt must then be taken to the correctional center for verification before release. On a 24-hour basis, bail may be posted onsite at Warren by money order.
| Bail Item | Warren Rule |
|---|---|
| Verify first | Call 908-475-7900 before attempting to post |
| Court posting | Municipal or Superior Court during normal business hours |
| Jail posting | 24-hour onsite money-order posting |
| Cash | Not accepted at the correctional center |
| Superior Court filing fee | $50 nonrefundable fee for Superior Court criminal charges |
Warren Booking Intake
Hunterdon inmates arrive at Warren after local processing in Flemington. Warren then classifies each person to determine the supervision level and housing area. Classification is a jail safety process that reviews risk, custody status, behavior, and facility needs. It affects where a person is housed, which visit schedule applies, and how staff supervise the housing unit. Warren's minimum, medium, and maximum areas support different supervision levels inside the same correctional center.
The phone and visitor-list systems also begin during intake. Warren allows unlimited telephone calls for 72 hours while a person is in intake or until movement to general population, as long as the person cooperates with correctional and medical staff. The inmate then receives a PIN for continuing phone use, and family, friend, and attorney accounts are set up through the phone provider. The visitor list is completed by the inmate during intake, so early contact may be needed before the first visit can occur.
Warren Programs Conditions
Warren County Correctional Center's operating history and standards matter for Hunterdon County because this is where contracted Hunterdon inmates are housed. The jail reports annual NJDOC inspection for state correctional standards and a record of 100 percent compliance. It also reports National Commission on Correctional Health Care accreditation, which is relevant to jail conditions and medical care. Those facts do not answer a single inmate's medical question, but they identify the standards Warren says govern the facility.
Programs include the County Labor Assistance Program, which is an alternative to weekend or straight jail time for eligible court-ordered participants. Warren also uses an Electronic Monitoring Program for adults and juveniles as an alternative to traditional detention. Warren's immigration-enforcement page says the county cooperates with DHS and ICE and has worked on transfer of custody to Homeland Security. That is a transfer and cooperation point, not proof that Hunterdon has a separate ICE detention center. For the full local custody map, the Hunterdon County inmate population overview explains how Hunterdon, Warren, NJDOC, BOP, ICE, and VINE fit together.
Note: Call Warren before visits, deposits, mail, or bail because housing and court status can change quickly.
