Ocean County

Department of Corrections

The Community Work Program began under the direction of Warden Theodore J. Hutler. 

It utilizes minimum-security, minimum-status offenders to complete various projects in the community.  The Program has undergone many changes during its history.  It has won countless awards, including national recognition by the Association of County Governments and the State of New Jersey.

The Community Work Program remains a proactive function of the Department of Corrections, serving the community, local governments, non-profit organizations, etc.  It is our effort to return to the community via service of offender interaction.

 Please contact the Community Work Program at (732) 929-2117, to discuss requests for inmate work details.
