Morris Leader

In August 2024, the Morris County Correctional Facility (MCCF) underwent an inspection by the New Jersey Department of Corrections (NJDOC). This annual audit evaluates the physical structure of the facility and ensures that policies meet NJDOC's high standards. Sheriff James M. Gannon and the MCCF Administration were recently informed that the audit determined a 100% compliance rating in all NJDOC standards.

Christel Jackson-Lee of the NJDOC conducted the inspection. She commended the staff for their professionalism, courtesy during interactions, and job knowledge observed during her tour of the facility. She was also impressed by the cleanliness and overall management of the jail.

Sheriff Gannon stated, “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 would like to congratulate them on a job well done, all while working the toughest beat in Morris County.”

The average daily population at MCCF in 2024 is 325 inmates. From January to August, there have been 1,752 individual admissions and 1,656 individual discharges.
