The Mercer County Correction Center is located on Route 29 North (1750 River Road) in Hopewell Township. It is a short-term jail facility that confines men and women and has bed space for 871 inmates with Minimum, Medium and Maximum-security classifications.
The population comprises those who have been convicted and sentenced by the Municipal or Superior Courts, as well as those who are pretrial. State-sentenced inmates are housed while awaiting transfer to State Prison; inmates with sentences up to 364 days or less serve their time at the Correction Center.
Inmates are provided with medical, social services and mental health services, as well as educational opportunities during their incarceration. Selected inmates may be ordered by the court or assigned by the Correction Center, as a form of restitution, to participate in community service projects such as the Superintendent Labor Assistance Program (SLAP). Inmates classified as minimum security may work on supervised details mowing grass, trash collection and painting at county operated facilities, including the Correction Center building and grounds.
Sending packages to an inmate
Mercer County Correction Center now offers Access Securepak®, a comprehensive custom package program in the correctional industry. Access Securepak® is a program designed to allow family members and friends to send packages to inmates.
