Hope Hall Release and Discharge
Hope Hall is a male correctional-treatment RCRP operated by Volunteers of America Delaware Valley under NJDOC. A person may live at the Camden facility while state correctional jurisdiction continues. The placement can be a step toward reintegration, but it is not a public release list and does not prove sentence completion.
A later exit can take several forms. The person may receive parole and enter conditional community supervision. NJDOC may record a maximum release when the custodial term ends. The person may transfer to another state placement or another custodian. A parole revocation or new commitment can also change the expected path.
| Hope Hall event | Custody meaning | Verification |
|---|---|---|
| Arrival at Hope Hall | NJDOC residential correctional placement begins or continues | Current Facility and movement history |
| Authorized program activity | Program participation under correctional authority | NJDOC or program record |
| Parole release | Conditional community release | State Parole Board certificate or decision |
| Maximum discharge | NJDOC custody episode ends | Date Out-of-Custody or discharge record |
| Transfer | Custody or placement continues elsewhere | Receiving facility or movement record |
Confirm a Hope Hall Release
Use the NJDOC Offender Search Engine because Hope Hall is a state residential correctional placement. The Camden automated jail-status line does not cover it. Search by SBI number when possible. If only a name is available, use the filters and confirm the result through sentence, offense, age, county of commitment, and aliases.
- Match the correct NJDOC record with more than the name.
- Read Current Facility for a reported Hope Hall placement.
- Review sentence history, mandatory minimum, and case details.
- Read Current Max Release Date as a recalculated maximum estimate.
- Read Current Parole Eligibility Date as eligibility, not a decision.
- Check Date Out-of-Custody for a completed NJDOC exit.
- Seek NJDOC and Parole Board records when the public fields do not resolve the event.
Current Facility can change after a movement. The public search also may not retain every discharged record indefinitely. Save the SBI number and the date on which the entry was reviewed. If the result disappears, use the official public-record route rather than treating the no-result as proof of release.
Release warning: Leaving Hope Hall can mean parole, maximum discharge, or transfer. Confirm the event type and destination before calling it community release.
Hope Hall Official Date Fields
The NJDOC field-definition page uses precise labels. Current Max Release Date is the most recent calculated maximum date after authorized days earned and disciplinary additions. NJDOC warns that the estimate may change at month's end. It is not a guaranteed Hope Hall departure date.
Current Parole Eligibility Date is the expected eligibility date under State Parole Board calculation policy. Eligibility can lead to review, but it does not establish a grant. A mandatory minimum, the Board process, other sentences, a detainer, or later conduct can affect the actual event.
Date Out-of-Custody is the date released from NJDOC custody. It is the strongest historical date in the public state record for a completed custody episode. It still may not explain whether parole supervision followed. A separate Board record supplies that context.
- Current Facility
- The placement reported by NJDOC at the time of the update.
- Current Max Release Date
- The current maximum estimate after permitted credits and additions.
- Current Parole Eligibility Date
- An expected point for parole eligibility, not actual release.
- Date Out-of-Custody
- The date the person left NJDOC custody for that episode.
Note: County of Commitment: Camden identifies the sentencing venue and should not be confused with Hope Hall as the current facility.
Hope Hall Correctional Treatment Placement
Hope Hall's distinguishing role is correctional treatment for men approaching community release. It is not the male educational, vocational, and work-release program identified for Fletcher House. It is also not Garrett House's specialized gender-responsive women's placement. Keeping those roles distinct preserves the accuracy of the facility record.
Treatment participation does not change the legal status by itself. A person may be in a less restrictive residential setting and still remain under NJDOC authority. An approved outing, program milestone, or change in residence is not final discharge unless the state custody record says so.
Placement can change. NJDOC may transfer a resident to another RCRP, return the person to a different correctional setting, or later process a parole or maximum release. The Current Facility field and movement record show the location sequence. The parole or discharge document shows the legal transition.
No public Hope Hall release feed was identified. The program contact can address current facility questions within its authority, but official status should be verified through NJDOC and the Board.
Hope Hall Contact and Records
Hope Hall is located in Camden, but it is not operated by Camden County Department of Corrections. The program can be contacted at its listed number. NJDOC remains the proper records route for state placement, movement, and discharge. Parole records belong to the State Parole Board.

Male correctional-treatment NJDOC RCRP
A useful NJDOC request names the existing offender face sheet, movement record, release or discharge date, or certificate sought. Include the full name, aliases, SBI number, and approximate Hope Hall placement dates. Do not ask the custodian to calculate a new date or write a narrative.
For parole, identify the parole certificate, decision, supervision status, or final discharge record. The Board may protect parts of a file. A narrow purpose-neutral request reduces ambiguity and keeps the question focused on the release event.
Camden Hope Hall Transfer Status
Hope Hall is one of three NJDOC RCRPs in Camden County, even though Camden has no operating state prison. The NJDOC residential program directory places Hope Hall within that state correctional network. A person can therefore be “back in Camden” geographically and still be in an NJDOC placement.
This local fact makes language important. Transfer to Hope Hall means correctional placement continues. Parole means conditional release under Board authority. Maximum discharge means the NJDOC custody term has ended. A transfer to another agency means one custody episode may end while another begins.
Camden County Admissions cannot establish the Hope Hall event because it handles the adult county correctional facility. The two systems have different operators, record owners, and release paths. A call to the county jail may confirm only that the person is not in county custody.
Use the state movement record to identify arrival and departure from Hope Hall. Add the Board record if parole occurred. Add the receiving-agency record if a detainer or new custody transfer followed.
Hope Hall Sentence Date Changes
A projected release calculation begins with the judgment, sentence date, court-awarded jail credit, and any mandatory minimum. NJDOC then applies only those credits and additions allowed by law. Concurrent or consecutive sentences, disciplinary forfeiture or restoration, parole revocation, new commitments, and detainers can alter the result.
The No Early Release Act, N.J.S.A. 2C:43-7.2, requires an 85-percent parole-ineligibility term for listed first- and second-degree offenses. It is not a rule for every New Jersey sentence. The exact offense and imposed sentence control.
Primary parole eligibility generally follows a mandatory minimum or one-third of a sentence when no mandatory minimum applies, subject to the statute's credits and exclusions. Reaching that date starts the Board process. It does not guarantee that a Hope Hall resident leaves on that day.
No public worksheet gives an individual Hope Hall calculation. Seek the responsible state record and avoid making a date from sentence length alone.
Hope Hall Parole or Final Discharge
The State Parole Board's eligibility notices are prospective. They list people who may be considered or released within a future period, and Camden lists are organized by county of commitment. They are not Hope Hall release logs and do not report final decisions.
A parole certificate or Board decision is needed to establish a grant. Written reporting instructions identify the assigned office and conditions. The office may follow the person's residence or a specialized caseload, not Hope Hall's location. Parole supervision can continue after the person leaves NJDOC physical custody.
For final maximum discharge, seek Date Out-of-Custody and the state discharge record. If another agency took custody, record the destination. If the event was parole, keep the Board document with the state exit record. The combination explains both physical movement and legal status.
The Camden County released inmates home page covers broader checks when the next custodian is uncertain. Hope Hall verification itself remains a state corrections and parole task.
Build a Hope Hall Release Record
A complete, limited record set should identify the person, last reported facility, movement date, movement type, destination, state custody exit, and parole status. Each field serves a distinct purpose. Together they show whether Hope Hall was an intermediate treatment placement or the last state facility before release.
Do not infer final discharge from a residential address, program description, missing search result, or expected date. Verify with NJDOC and the State Parole Board. Record the source and check date because projected fields and placement can change.
If the final document is unavailable online, submit a focused request. Existing state records are stronger than a recreated timeline, and they preserve the distinction between transfer, conditional release, and completed discharge.
