Middlesex County Quick Facts
Middlesex County Inmate Search Tool
Middlesex County is one of the few counties in New Jersey that offers a full online inmate search. The Middlesex County inmate search page lets you look up anyone who is or was in county custody. Each inmate has a public summary that shows their ID data, case details, housing, and release information. This tool is free and open to everyone.
The county also puts out daily booking and release lists. These show who came in and who left the jail each day. An alphabetical roster gives you the full list of current inmates. If a name does not appear on the active roster, that person may have been released. The daily release list will show the exact date they left. All of this is run by the Middlesex County Sheriff's Office.
Below is the Middlesex County Sheriff's inmate search page, which provides public access to released inmates data and current custody records.
The inmate search tool covers the Adult Correction Center at Apple Orchard Lane in North Brunswick. The jail is a multi-custody facility with a capacity of over 1,400. It holds both males and females from local and state agencies. The phone number for the jail is 732-297-3636 and the fax is 732-951-3322.
Released Inmates Data in Middlesex County
Each released inmate from Middlesex County has a record that the Sheriff keeps on file. The public summary for each person held at the Adult Correction Center includes a set of key details. This data is what you will see when you use the online search tool or file a records request.
A released inmate record from Middlesex County may show:
- Full name, date of birth, and ID number
- Charges and case description
- Booking date and arresting agency
- Housing assignment while in custody
- Release date and type of release
- Court dates and case status
Convicted and pretrial inmates both go through the same system. The records do not differ much in format. What changes is the outcome. A pretrial inmate may be released on bail or after charges are dropped. A sentenced inmate leaves after serving their time. Both types of release create a record in the Middlesex County system.
Note: Middlesex County has no state-run or federal jails, so all local inmates go through the county facility.
Middlesex County Records Requests

You can submit your OPRA request through the OPRA Central portal or mail it to the Sheriff's Office at PO Box 266, North Brunswick, NJ 08902. The county has seven business days to respond. They can give you the records, extend the deadline, or deny part of the request with a reason. If you think the denial is wrong, the Government Records Council will review it.
