Get in Touch

Mercer County Released Inmates is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking or release record. Contact the agency that holds the record for those services.


Choose the Responsible Office

Custody records follow the agency that held the person. Mercer County Correction Center handles county-jail custody, while the New Jersey Department of Corrections handles state-prison custody. Courts own case and judgment records. The State Parole Board and Judiciary probation offices manage different forms of supervision. No one office can answer every release question.

Mercer County Counsel and OPRA

Phone: 609-989-6511

Use the county public-documents page to request an identifiable existing MCCC release or transfer record. Ordinary OPRA copy fees are $0.05 for letter-size and $0.07 for legal-size pages unless another law controls.

Use the route that matches the record or service:

  • County release or transfer: Call MCCC for routing, then use Mercer County OPRA for the maintained booking, release, or movement transaction. The home page describes the full person-search and records-request path.
  • State-prison custody or discharge: Contact NJDOC Central Office, Whittlesey Road, P.O. Box 863, Trenton, NJ 08625, at 609-292-4036. File record requests through New Jersey OPRA Central and select the Department of Corrections.
  • Parole or probation: For parolee information, email SPB-Public-Info-Office@spb.nj.gov or use the State Parole Board OPRA form, P.O. Box 862, Trenton, NJ 08625-0862. For probation process help, call 609-815-3810 extension 16357 or email ProbationHelp.Mailbox@njcourts.gov. The Post-Release Supervision page explains which agency applies.
  • VINE custody alerts: Use VINELink, call 1-877-846-3465, or use TTY 1-866-847-1298. VINE is an alert service, not a certified release archive.
  • Mercer criminal case records: Mercer Criminal Courthouse is at 400 South Warren Street, Room 109, Trenton, NJ 08650-0068. The listed criminal-record and expungement contact is 609-571-4200 extension 74048.
  • Federal or immigration custody: Use the official BOP Inmate Locator for federal prison records and the ICE Online Detainee Locator for covered immigration custody. Neither replaces an MCCC transfer record.
  • Release timing or same-day records: Use Release Date Lookup for date terminology, VINE Inmate Check for alerts, or 24-Hour Releases for the exact-date daily-log request route.
