Warren County Correctional Center and 24 Hour Booking

The Warren County Correctional Center is located at 175 County Route 519 South in Belvidere. The facility opened in 1986 with just 76 beds. Over the years, it has expanded to 176 beds to meet growing needs. The jail now holds an average daily population of 145 to 155 inmates. It operates at minimum, medium, and maximum security levels.

Warden Daniel Broesder runs the facility. The jail uses a podular design with both remote and direct supervision models. This means some housing units are monitored from a central control room while others have officers stationed inside the living area. The design helps staff manage different security levels under one roof. The Warren County Correctional Center has earned accreditation from the National Commission on Correctional Health Care and maintains 100 percent compliance on New Jersey Department of Corrections inspections.

Since January 2020, Warren County also houses inmates from Hunterdon County at this facility. This shared services deal means the Belvidere jail processes bookings for two counties. When someone is arrested in either Warren County or Hunterdon County, the arresting officers transport that person here for intake. Staff log charges, take prints and photos, and run a health screening. Every booking creates a permanent record under N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1.

Warren County 24 Hour Booking and Inmate Programs

The Warren County Correctional Center runs several programs for inmates beyond the standard booking and custody operations. These programs are part of the facility's broader mission to prepare inmates for release and reduce repeat offenses in the community.

The Community Labor Assistance Program, known as CLAP, allows eligible inmates to perform supervised work in the community. Participants work on public projects while serving their sentence. The Electronic Monitoring Program is another option for qualifying inmates. Under this program, an inmate wears a tracking device and lives outside the jail while following strict rules about location and curfew. The Clean Communities program puts inmates to work on litter cleanup and other environmental tasks across Warren County.

These programs are managed by the correctional staff under Warden Broesder's supervision. Eligibility depends on the charges, the sentence length, and the person's behavior record at the facility. Not all inmates booked at the Warren County jail qualify for these programs. The classification process that begins during booking helps determine who may be considered later for alternative supervision options.

Note: Program eligibility is determined after the initial booking and classification process at the Warren County Correctional Center.
