Which system is holding them?

There is no single search that covers everyone in Union County. Match the situation to the right official locator — most families start with the first one.

If the arrest was recent

Start with the local jail

For a recent local arrest, check the arresting jurisdiction’s official jail roster or custody-notification service. Housing may be at a municipal, county, regional, or contracted facility. If no record appears, ask the arresting agency or jail how to confirm the booking; do not infer the destination from distance or a facility listing.

The current official source identifies Union County Sheriff Division of Corrections and publishes this contact. Ask about actual County custody, release, transfer and the responsible receiving facility. A very recent arrest may still be with the arresting agency. The County’s visiting instructions identify Essex and Hudson County jails as possible locations without a person-specific allocation; ask which facility actually holds the person.

Union County Sheriff Division of Corrections assistance

Call the named agency contact and ask which unit handles current custody or receiving-facility questions. For a recent arrest, ask the actual arresting agency where the person was taken. The number was not called.

Published agency assistance; no answered call, availability guarantee, individual custody status, automatic municipal intake or case-specific placement was tested.

Search New Jersey participating-agency custody — VINE name-search fields reached without signing in; participating-agency coverage must be verified

Local source reviewed 2026-10-05. This is published phone assistance; the number was not called.

If nothing appears, contact the arresting agency or the responsible jail to ask how to confirm booking. A missing record does not prove release, and an agency may limit what it can disclose.

If they were sentenced to prison

Use the correctional locator

For a state-prison sentence, use the New Jersey correctional locator. A short jail sentence may still be served in a local or regional jail. A sentence alone does not establish the housing location; confirm with the responsible agency.

New Jersey DOC custody; county facilities are separate

Official agency instructions and assistance

Existing DOC application returned an empty 200 page in this review

Search form availability was not confirmed in this review. An access restriction, CAPTCHA, or unavailable application may require a normal browser or agency assistance; missing records do not establish release.

Reviewed 2026-10-05. Search availability is unconfirmed or this is an instructions/phone route.

If the charge is federal

Search the Federal Bureau of Prisons

A federal charge does not tell you which building holds the person. The U.S. Marshals Service is responsible for federal pretrial detention and may use local, state, private, or federal facilities. Check the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator, but a missing result does not establish that the person is not detained. For a recent federal arrest, contact the arresting agency or the relevant U.S. Marshals district office to ask about the appropriate custody-information process. USMS is a contact route, not a public person locator, and disclosure of a location is not guaranteed.

Other kinds of custody

Immigration detention has a separate official ICE detainee locator. It does not search for people under 18, and a missing result does not prove release; use the official ICE field-office contacts. Search by A-number and country of birth, or the name/country/date-of-birth information requested by the service. Access and disclosure can be restricted.

Juvenile and tribal custody may have different agencies, privacy rules, and search limits. This guide does not provide a comprehensive juvenile or tribal locator. Contact the arresting agency or responsible juvenile or tribal authority to confirm the correct process.

For federal pretrial detention, use the U.S. Marshals district directory. Federal responsibility can include housing in a local jail.

Nearby counties in New Jersey

If the arrest happened just across a county line, these New Jersey counties are geographic navigation aids. Open a guide for official custody resources; these links do not establish detention or transport destinations.

If you need to bail them out in New Jersey

Finding the person comes first. Once you know where they are being held, this is how getting them out works in New Jersey.

Commercial bail available

Release depends on the court’s order. A payment is not required in every case. Ask the court which secured-bond options, if any, are permitted; a private commercial bond service has separate fees and conditions. Confirm the process before paying anyone.

The person’s rights. The person in custody has the right to talk to a lawyer about their case, and if they cannot afford one, the court can appoint a public defender.
