Monmouth County Inmate Population Overview
The MCCI is located at 1 Waterworks Road, Freehold, NJ 07728. It houses both male and female inmates across minimum, medium, and maximum security levels. The facility holds pretrial detainees, sentenced inmates serving up to 364 days, and federal and ICE detainees. This mix creates a diverse inmate population with varying custody needs.
Monmouth County spans a large area along the northern New Jersey shore. Freehold is the county seat. Other major towns include Asbury Park, Red Bank, Long Branch, and Middletown. The county's size and population mean the jail sees a steady flow of new admissions. The Monmouth County inmate population reflects arrests from dozens of municipalities and multiple law enforcement agencies.
The MCCI holds accreditation from both the American Correctional Association and the National Commission on Correctional Health Care. These accreditations confirm that the facility meets national standards for operations, safety, and health services. Few county jails in New Jersey hold both certifications.
