This is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release anyone, post bond, schedule a visit, or pull an official booking record. For those actions, use the official Cape May County, court, state, or federal contact listed for the record type.
Where to Ask for a Custody or Record Question
For current county jail custody, bail confirmation, and jail-record questions, start with the Cape May County Correctional Center. Sheriff Robert A. Nolan's office also lists a separate headquarters address and administrative line for Sheriff's Office business.

Cape May County OPRA Requests
Donna Doyle, Deputy Clerk of the Board
William E. Sturm, Jr. Administration Building
4 Moore Road
Cape May Court House, NJ 08210
Use OPRA for county government records when the Sheriff's records page does not route the request to the incident or accident report email.
Use the list below to choose the right starting point before calling or filing a request.
- For someone currently held at the county jail, use jail inmate records and then confirm urgent custody or bail details with Jail Records at 609-465-1233.
- For booking photos, use jail roster mugshots; Cape May County does not document a public online mugshot gallery, so an OPRA request may be the proper official path.
- For charges and case activity after booking, use court records after a jail arrest and the New Jersey Courts search tools.
- For a facility-specific question, review the Cape May County Correctional Center page linked in the footer.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the New Jersey Department of Corrections Offender Search rather than the county jail roster.
- For a federal prisoner or immigration detainee, use the BOP inmate locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
