MAYS LANDING - A six-day state inspection of the Atlantic County Justice Facility in Mays Landing has found the facility to be in 100% compliance with the state standards for adult county correctional facilities, Atlantic County Executive Dennis Levinson said in a news release Wednesday.
“The Atlantic County jail continues to operate at the highest standards which should bring great assurance to the public,” Levinson said. “The warden and his staff have my deep respect and appreciation. As correction officers, they have some of the toughest jobs in the country. We are extremely fortunate they do their jobs so well.”
The annual inspection was conducted in mid-June and included a thorough review of approximately 30 categories such as personnel, training and staff development, emergency procedures, security, records, sanitation, food service, sanitation, inmate services, inmate living conditions, medical, dental and health services, disciplinary procedures, security and control visitation, admissions, inmate services and programming, and access to courts.
NJ Department of Corrections Assistant Commissioner Christopher Holmes congratulated the team on this achievement and commended their efforts in preparation for the inspection.
The Atlantic County Justice Facility is located at 5060 Atlantic Avenue in Mays Landing. It houses male and female inmates who are pretrial, presentenced, county-sentenced, and occasionally state-sentenced and awaiting transfer or state inmates contracted to the county facility.
