NJ DOC – Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women (EMCF) basic information to help guide you through what you can do for your inmate while they are incarcerated. The facility's direct contact number: 908-735-7111
This facility is for adult inmates.
The inmates housed at Edna Mahan Correctional located at 30 County Rd 513
in Clinton, NJ are placed according to their custody level (determined by a number of factors including the past criminal history and the length of their sentence). There are ample educational and vocational training programs for all inmates, especially ones that show a willingness to learn new things that will prepare them for a better life when they are released. The mission is to promote and prepare the offender to leave in better shape than when they arrived, giving them the best chance to never come back and thus lower the state's recidivism rate.
Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women houses about 1,000 state-sentenced female inmates on a campus-like setting with housing units and various support buildings located in Clinton NJ, in Hunterdon County. In terms of security designation, there are two compounds – minimum and maximum/medium. There is a third housing compound for inmates with varying classifications of special mental health needs. Programming includes counseling as well as education and vocational opportunities including counseling for substance abuse, and mental health treatments are also available.
The Bureau of State Industries operates clothing, telemarketing, and data entry program within the prison. EMCF also participates in the "Puppies Behind Bars Program" which allows inmates to train guide dogs.
