Cumberland County 24 Hour Booking on Bluhorse
Cumberland County uses a third-party system called Bluhorse for its public inmate search. This is different from what most New Jersey counties use. The Bluhorse inmate database for Cumberland County lets you search by first name, last name, or both. Results include current inmates and people who were previously held. This makes it a useful tool for checking both active and past booking records in Cumberland County.
Each result on Bluhorse shows detailed information. You can see the charges filed against the person, any detainers from other agencies, bond conditions and amounts, court dates and case numbers, incarceration dates, and housing assignment. The housing field tells you whether the person is at the Main Jail or the Annex in Cumberland County. Bond details show whether bail has been set and what conditions apply. This is one of the more complete inmate lookup systems in the state for a county of this size.
