This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody or release status, release anyone, post bond, or pull an official booking or discharge record. Contact the agency that holds the original record for those services.


Choose the Correct Ocean Office

Ocean County Corrections operates the adult jail. Its office is at the Justice Complex, 114 Hooper Avenue, Toms River, NJ 08754, and the jail information number is 732-929-2043. No public records-counter hours were published. Use the county OPRA hub and address a jail-record request to OCDC Booking, Intake and Release. The Ocean County Sheriff is a separate custodian at 120 Hooper Avenue, P.O. Box 2191, Toms River, NJ 08754-2191, 732-929-2044, for Sheriff-created records.

  • For a released person or discharge record, the home page gives the full search and OPRA request sequence.
  • For post-release supervision, use the parole and probation contacts. Northern and southern Ocean County have different parole district offices.
  • For a recent county release, check the released-last-24-hours process. Ocean County does not publish a true daily feed.
  • For a calculated state date or alert, use the inmate release date and VINELink release check resources.
  • For juvenile detention, only an authorized parent, guardian, or attorney should contact Juvenile Services at 732-288-7708.
  • For a state prisoner, use the New Jersey Department of Corrections offender search and NJDOC records route.
  • For federal prison or immigration custody, use BOP or ICE; a USMS pretrial matter may also require the federal court.

Ocean Jail and Records Contacts

For the adult jail’s booking, commitment, and discharge file, contact the Ocean County Department of Corrections. Its jail information line is 732-929-2043. The Ocean County OPRA hub and county request form are the correct county routes. Name OCDC Booking, Intake and Release as the office holding the requested record. Ask for an identifiable existing record, not a new report or an answer to a broad question.
