The Department of Corrections is organized into three separate divisions: Administration The Division of Administration is responsible for managing approximately one billion dollars and employing more than 9,000 persons, including 6,500 in custody positions. Roughly 27,000 individuals are under NJDOC jurisdiction in state correctional institutions, county jail and half- way houses. The division provides administrative services to support the departmental mission in such major areas as Budget and Fiscal Management, Personnel, Policy and Planning, and In- formation Systems. Operations The Division of Operations is responsible for 14 major institutions -- 12 adult male correctional facilities, one women’s correctional institution and a central reception/intake unit. These facili- ties collectively house inmates in minimum, medium and maximum security levels. They are diverse and unique in their operations. For example, New Jersey State Prison is the state’s only facility in which all inmates are classified as maximum security. The Adult Diagnostic and Treatment Center operates corrections’ rehabilitative programs for habitual sex offenders. Northern State Prison contains the Security Threat Group Management Unit, which houses gang members considered a threat to the safety of the institutions and individuals. The offender population at Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women is comprised of females at all lev- els of security. Programs and Community Services The Division of Programs and Community Services provides institutional and community- based program opportunities for offenders, including community labor assistance, academic and vocational educational programs, recreational programs, library (lending and law) services, sub- stance abuse treatment and transitional services. Other specialized services include victim assis- tance, chaplaincy services, stress management for employees and their families, county assis- tance quality assurance and liaison to the Intensive Supervision Program. Additionally, the divi- sion contracts with private and non-profit providers throughout the state to provide community- based residential treatment programs for offenders under community supervision. Public safety is enhanced through the development, coordination, administration and delivery of these institu- tional and community-based programs and services. 3 You Are Viewing an Archived Copy from the New Jersey State Library UNDER COMMISSIONER HAYMAN, NJDOC CONTINUES TO MOVE FORWARD George Hayman was con- prisons in April, provides of- Initiative at Garden State firmed as commissioner of fenders nearing their release Youth Correctional Facility. the New Jersey Department with a structured and detailed The six-week class was de- of Corrections on January 8, approach to addressing these signed to impact the inci- 2007.

  • Testimonies of Torture in New Jersey Prisons
    Testimonies of Torture in New Jersey Prisons EVIDENCE OF HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS A collection of testimonies from prisoners in New Jersey prisons, documenting uses of physical, chemical, and no-touch torture, among other human rights abuses. American Friends Service Committee Northeast Region Healing Justice Program Edited by: Bonnie Kerness Director, Prison Watch Program 89 Market Street, 6th floor Newark, NJ 07102 (973) 643-3192 Editorial Assistant Jessica Gonzalez Intern, Prison Watch Program Torture in New Jersey Prisons ǀ Evidence of Human Rights Violations February 2015 INTRODUCTION The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) is a Quaker faith based organization that promotes lasting peace with justice, as a practical expression of faith in action. AFSC’s interest in prison reform is strongly influenced by Quaker (Religious Society of Friends) activism addressing prison conditions as informed by the imprisonment of Friends for their beliefs and actions in the 17th and 18th centuries. AFSC has spoken out on behalf of prisoners whose voices are all too frequently silenced. Drawing on continuing spiritual insights and working with people of many backgrounds, we nurture the seeds of change and respect for human life that transform social relations and systems. For over two decades, the Prison Watch Program of the American Friends Service Committee, located in Newark, NJ, has been collecting testimonies in the form of letters from prisoners across the United States. These letters document various human rights abuses in US prisons, including, but not limited to, physical, chemical, and no-touch torture at the local, state and federal levels. It is clear that the concepts of international human rights law need to find their way into the US law enforcement, judicial and prison systems.

  • “From the Inside Out”
    “FROM THE INSIDE OUT” A report by the Prison Watch Community Oversight Initiative December 2016 Issue #1 This report was created by Program Director Bonnie Kerness (973-410-3978/ [email protected]), Interns Rachel Frome and Marshall Justice Rountree, and with further assistance from Jean Ross, Esq. and CLASP’s Kunal Sharma, Esq. and Billimarie Lubiano Robinson. Prison Watch Program 89 Market St, 6th Floor Newark, NJ 07102 (973) 643-3192 Dear Friends, This first issue of Inside Out: The Prison Watch Community Oversight Initiative, was suggested by the people confined in the NJ penal system a number of years ago to provide people in the community with specific examples of conditions in our state’s prisons. Their feeling - and ours - has been that this kind of initiative will enable more people to better understand the prison system, which is expensive, dysfunctional and largely concealed sector of our society. We believe that such understanding will enable and motivate communication and collaboration in order to more effectively address the problems emerging from these inside reports. We also hope that the connections we create will enable us to eventually serve as an Emergency Response Network, with the capacity to counter individual as well as systemic instances of harm, when the need arises. We think that the information that we distribute should prompt formal legislation that decrees independent prison oversight. The voices reflected in the reports below are those who have agreed to stay in touch with community-based advocates on a regular basis. They are giving us information regarding what is happening to and around them.

A-1 Executive Summary Criminal street gangs have long been recognized as a threat, not just to society at large, but to the safety, security and integrity of the prison system. Over the years, New Jersey’s Department of Corrections (DOC) has taken steps aimed at managing and containing that threat as it impinges upon the 14 prison institutions for which the agency is responsible statewide. Among other things, DOC established a process to identify gang members entering the system and serving time. It maintains a program designed to fracture gang hierarchies by isolating known gang “core members” from the general prison population and targeting them for special rehabilitative attention. It monitors inmate telephone calls, examines their mail and regularly searches for and confiscates contraband. Custody officers, moreover, receive a measure of gang-awareness training, and internal investigations are conducted to gather intelligence on, and to curtail, suspected gang activity.
