Finding Someone in Custody in Woodbury
The county jail, run by the Gloucester County Sheriff's Office, holds everyone kept in custody after an arrest in Woodbury, from every agency.
SearchSystems opened and checked the jail page of the Gloucester County Sheriff's Office at gloucestercountynj.gov/555/Sheriffs-Office (page title: Sheriff's Office | Gloucester County, NJ), phone 856-384-4600, 70 Hunter Street Woodbury, NJ 08096, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on October 11, 2026.
That page is the office's jail information page rather than a roster, so a search for a particular person goes through the office at 856-384-4600.
