Each one is manned by a separate staff, providing hundreds of jobs to the city. Reach out to South Woods State Prison using the details below.

How Can I Connect?

You may write letters to any inmate, including a prison pen pal. You are also able to visit as long as you get approved to do so. Inmates may also call you once your number gets added to their call list.

Sending Letters

In order to send letters, you need to have the inmate's name and ID number listed on the envelope. Address it as such:

Inmate Name and Number

South Woods State Prison

215 South Burlington Rd.

Bridgeton, New Jersey 08302

These letters must only contain traditional pieces of paper or cards. They should not have perfume, oils, lipstick, or anything else included. You are able to include photographs, but they must depict people fully dressed inappropriate attire. No racy photographs will be accepted.

Visiting

Visitation is typically offered on the weekends. You need to be approved to visit and then must still schedule your visit each time. Hours are either from 8:30 am to 10:30 am or 12:30 pm to 3:30 pm, although these are subject to change.

When illness is running rampant in the community or within the prison system, this means of communication may be canceled. Instead, video visits may be arranged. You still need to schedule these and follow the same protocols, i.e.:

• No wearing see-through, tight, or provocative clothing
• No clothes depicting violent, cruel, sexual, or drug-involved acts
• You may not show your cellphone, photos, or hold up any other items.
• You cannot wear a hat or sunglasses.

Waiting for a Phone Call

Your loved one can add your number to their call list. Once approved, they can then make outgoing calls as long as they have money in their account. Calls are only permitted in 15-minute increments. Although, the inmate may be able to add additional time and talk for another 15 minutes if no one else is currently waiting to use it.

Can I Send Money or Packages?

You are able to send money and packages. There are rules for both, though.

1. Money - Set up an account with JPay and add money for your loved one to use. You can use your debit or credit card to add funds. You can also download the deposit slip and send cash in the form of a money order. Make the order out to JPay, P.O. Box 170770 Hialeah, FL 33017.

2. Packages - Packages must be sent through an approved vendor. Access Securepak is one of the most common options for prisons throughout the nation. You can send personal care items, food, and more. It typically takes up to 10 days after your order is placed for it to arrive.
