Depending on various factors, the inmates could then stay in the Salem County Jail or go to one of 4 counties: Cumberland, Camden, Essex or Burlington. The Adjusted State Total removes Gloucester from the State Total after May 3, 2013 so that the inmates are not counted twice in the total. The Hunterdon County Jail was closed and the inmates were moved to Somerset on September 8, 2015. This table removes the Hunterdon inmates from Somerset and only counts them in Hunterdon after September 8, 2015. The Burlington County Jail female inmates were moved to Atlantic. This table does not show the Burlington females in Atlantic but shows them in Burlington. In April and May 2017 nonsentenced pretrial jail population data was reviewed by the county jails and feedback was given. We will continue to use the nonsentenced pretrial jail population numbers in reports.
