Hudson Correctional Center Overview
The Hudson County Adult Correctional Center official page identifies the Kearny facility and correctional-center contact route. For Passaic County, Hudson is the primary partner facility for female inmates after Wayne processing. Passaic's corrections page also says some male Passaic County population may be housed at Hudson depending on operational needs. That means Hudson should be checked when the person is female, when Passaic says the person was sent there, or when a male inmate is not found in the Bergen County Jail lookup.
Hudson is operated by the Hudson County Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. The research did not locate a current official capacity figure in the accessible Hudson page text, so no bed count is used here. The facility page does support practical custody tasks: visitation, video visitation, commissary deposits, phone and tablet funding, mail instructions, bail extension routing, social workers, medical and mental-health contacts, property release, and 24-hour releases.
The Hudson correctional-center page is the source image for the facility overview and corrections navigation.
That source anchors Hudson as a real housing destination in the Passaic County transfer system, not a generic jail listing.
Hudson Facility Custody Population
Hudson's role in the Passaic County inmate population is defined by function rather than a published Passaic-specific count. Passaic County transfers female adult inmates to Hudson, and some male inmates may also be housed there when operational need requires it. No official Hudson capacity number was located in current accessible research text, and no Passaic-only Hudson headcount was found. The safe statement is that Hudson is a regional partner facility for part of the Passaic County transferred jail population.
| Custody group | Hudson role |
|---|---|
| Passaic County females | Primary partner housing after Passaic processing. |
| Some Passaic County males | Possible housing based on operational need. |
| Hudson County inmates | Local county correctional-center population. |
| State-sentenced prisoners | Search NJDOC after state-prison transfer. |
Hudson Inmate Lookup Steps
No official universal Hudson public inmate roster field table was located in the research. Hudson's official pages instead provide facility contacts, visitation rules, commissary and phone links, mail instructions, and FAQ extensions. For a Passaic County inmate search, this makes the lookup path different from Bergen. Start with the Passaic inmate-search assistance number when custody location is unclear, then use Hudson's main line and relevant extension once the person is believed to be in Kearny.
- Confirm whether the person is a Passaic County female inmate or a male inmate who may have been sent to Hudson.
- Call Passaic inmate-search assistance if the transfer has just happened or the facility is unknown.
- Use Hudson's main correctional-center phone and ask for the correct records, bail, visitation, or service contact.
- Check NJDOC for sentenced state prisoners, BOP for federal custody, ICE ODLS for immigration custody, and VINE for notifications.
This contact-led method avoids a common error: assuming that every county jail has a public name-search roster. Hudson's researched official pages did not provide one.
Hudson Facility Address Contact
Hudson's address appears in official materials as 30-35 Hackensack Avenue or 35 Hackensack Avenue in Kearny. The main phone line is the entry point for custody and service questions. Research from the Hudson FAQ and contacts identified specific extensions for bail information, social workers, medical concerns, mental-health concerns, Internal Affairs unwanted-call complaints, and video-visit questions. Use the main line first if the correct extension is not known.

Hudson Inmate Visit Rules
Hudson requires advance registration and scheduling for visits through GTL VisitMe. Adult visitors and minors must meet identification rules. Minors need a birth certificate each time and must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. All visitors, including minors, must clear metal detectors. Visitors may not exchange property with inmates, and people who are under the influence, unruly, profane, or noncompliant can be denied entry. For Passaic County families, schedule only after confirming the inmate is actually at Hudson.
| Visit type | Scheduling | Key rule |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visit | GTL VisitMe registration and scheduling | Advance scheduling, ID, minor birth certificate, metal detector screening. |
| Video visit | GTL VisitMe, with on-site kiosk option if no internet | Must be scheduled during the inmate's recreation time. |
| Legal or professional visit | Use Hudson professional/legal routing | Confirm current rules with the facility before arrival. |
The Hudson in-person visitation page documents the GTL registration path, ID rules, minor rules, and screening requirements.
Those requirements help explain why a confirmed custody location is not enough by itself; the visitor must also meet Hudson's scheduling and entry rules.
The Hudson video visitation page is the source for GTL video scheduling and the recreation-time rule.
Video visits are still controlled by facility scheduling, so missed recreation-time windows can prevent a visit even when the account is set up.
Hudson Mail Money Phone
Hudson's mail format requires the inmate name and ID number, followed by the correctional-center address in Kearny. Incoming mail is subject to search, and the FAQ states that incoming mail is scanned. Commissary deposits use Access Corrections, with a lobby kiosk option. Phone service requires touch-tone acceptance. Tablet funds are separate from commissary and may be used for messaging under tablet and electronic-message rules.
| Service | Hudson detail |
|---|---|
| Mail format | Inmate Name and ID number, 30-35 Hackensack Avenue, Kearny, NJ 07032. |
| Mail rule | Incoming mail is subject to search; FAQ says mail is scanned. |
| Commissary | Access Corrections deposits and lobby kiosk option. |
| Phone and tablet | Touch-tone phone acceptance; tablet funds are separate from commissary. |
The Hudson commissary and phone page is the source for Access Corrections deposits, phone setup, and tablet funding context.
This distinction is useful because putting money on commissary does not necessarily fund tablet messaging or other electronic services.
The Hudson inmate mail page gives the mail address format and search notice.
The inmate ID number is part of the required mail format, so confirm it before sending time-sensitive legal or family correspondence.
Hudson Bail Release Property
Hudson's FAQ gives a bail information extension and says releases occur 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Property can be released to family or friends only after the inmate completes a property-release form through the social worker. Property release is Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and government-issued photo ID is required. Hudson also states that no items may be brought in for inmates except trial clothing under specified circumstances once trial is scheduled.
For a Passaic County inmate at Hudson, jail release status and court case status are related but not the same. A court may set conditions, a hold may delay release, or a different agency may have a detainer. Court records after arrest should be checked through New Jersey court channels when charges, first appearance, complaint numbers, or later case events are the issue.
Hudson Booking Transfer Timing
A Passaic County female inmate may be arrested in Passaic County, processed through Wayne or another local custody step, then transferred to Hudson. During that interval, phone confirmation may be more reliable than online search. The research also notes that Hudson's FAQ says an inmate has 48 hours to be seen by or have the arrest reviewed by a judge, called the first appearance hearing. Whether the person appears the next day or the following day depends on several factors.
- First appearance
- The first court review after arrest, tied to release, detention, and charge status.
- Property release
- A facility process that requires an inmate form and ID from the person receiving property.
- Detainer
- A hold from another court or agency that can affect release timing.
About Hudson Facility Services
Hudson's researched pages show strong service routing for families. Social workers handle property-related steps and can be reached through several extensions. Medical and mental-health concerns have separate extensions. Commissary, phone, tablet, mail, and visits are handled through specific pages and vendors. Those details matter because Hudson does not provide the same public roster path that Bergen does, so the facility-service pages carry much of the practical information.
Passaic County users should also remember that Hudson custody is not NJDOC custody. If the person has been sentenced to state prison, search NJDOC instead. If a federal or immigration case is involved, use BOP, U.S. Marshals context, or ICE ODLS as appropriate. The Passaic County inmate population overview gives the broader local map for Wayne, Bergen, Hudson, state, and federal channels.
Note: Confirm the inmate is at Hudson before scheduling visits, sending mail, or placing money in an account.
