Bayside Inmate Search

Search NJDOC

The NJDOC Offender Search lists people in New Jersey state custody. You accept a disclaimer, then search. Write down the person’s SBI number: letters need it on the first line.

Two Compounds

NJDOC describes Bayside as a medium compound and a minimum compound on more than 1,000 acres in Maurice River Township. The 2025 PREA audit counted about 1,280 men, ages 20 to 72, from close custody to full minimum.

Leesburg and Maurice River

NJDOC gives the address as Leesburg; the 2025 PREA audit lists the same road as Maurice River. Both describe the same prison on Route 47.

When Records Come Down

People drop off the search one year after their custodial term ends, except people on community or parole supervision for life. Data is refreshed every two weeks.

Writing to the Medium or Minimum Compound

Whether he’s in Bayside’s medium or minimum compound, the SBI number from the search is what his letters need on line one. Pigeonly takes that number and prints and mails the letter you type on your phone.
