MORRIS TOWNSHIP, NJ (Morris County) – In August 2024, the Morris County Correctional Facility (MCCF) underwent an inspection by the New Jersey Department of Corrections (NJDOC). This annual inspection examines the physical structure of the facility and ensures that policies are applied to the high standards required by the NJDOC.
Recently, Sheriff James M. Gannon and the MCCF Administration were informed that the audit determined a 100% compliance rating in all NJDOC standards.
Christel Jackson-Lee of the NJDOC conducted the inspection and praised the staff for their high level of professionalism, the courtesy displayed during interactions, and the job knowledge she witnessed while touring the facility. She was also extremely impressed by the cleanliness and overall management of the jail.
“A 100% compliance rating is a testament to the hard work and dedication of all facility staff members. I would like to thank each of them for their continued efforts in making the MCCF one of the best in the country and congratulate them on a job well done, all while working the toughest beat in Morris County,” Gannon said.
The 2024 average daily population at the MCCF is 325 inmates. From January to August, inmate management has seen 1,752 individual admissions and 1,656 individual discharges.
