JOINT BASE MDL, NJ Fort Dix FCI View

It is operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons and primarily holds sentenced male federal inmates in a low-security setting, with an adjacent minimum-security satellite camp.

Its role is to house people convicted in federal court and assigned to Bureau of Prisons custody, rather than to process most local pretrial detainees.
Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Fort Dix FCI
Members of the public can use the official inmate search link on this page to look for someone held at the facility. County jail rosters often list a person’s name, booking date, charges, and custody status, but federal inmate searches usually show identifying details such as name, register number, age, sex, location, and release information. Records may not appear immediately after a transfer or booking because processing can take several hours or longer. If the person was recently arrested locally in New Jersey, also check the appropriate county jail or court, because the facility mainly houses sentenced federal inmates.
FAQs
How do I visit an inmate at Fort Dix FCI?
Visits are generally allowed only after the inmate adds you to an approved visitor list and the facility approves you. Check the current visiting schedule and rules before traveling, because hours and procedures can change.
What do I need to bring when visiting Fort Dix FCI?
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, state ID, or passport. Follow the dress code and property rules, and leave items not allowed in the visiting area at home or in your vehicle.
How do I make phone or video calls with an inmate?
Inmates usually must place outgoing calls through the approved phone system; families cannot call directly into housing units. Video or electronic communication options, if available, must be set up through the approved provider and are subject to facility rules.
How do I send mail to an inmate?
Use the inmate’s full committed name and register number on all mail, along with the correct facility mailing address. Mail is screened, and items such as cash, contraband, or unauthorized enclosures may be rejected.
How does the commissary work?
Commissary allows inmates to buy approved items such as hygiene products, snacks, and writing supplies. Family and friends may be able to deposit funds through approved Bureau of Prisons payment methods, subject to limits and processing times.
How is bail set and how do I post bond at Fort Dix FCI?
The facility mainly houses sentenced federal inmates, so bail is usually not handled here. If a person has a pending case, bond decisions are made by the court, and payment instructions should be confirmed with the court clerk or the agency holding the person.
What happens during the intake process at Fort Dix FCI and when will the inmate appear in the system?
During intake, staff verify identity, review records, complete screening, assign housing, and explain facility rules. Search records may take several hours or longer to update, so a newly transferred inmate may not appear in the system right away.
