South Woods State Prison, located on 85 acres in Bridgeton, is the states newest prison and the facility with the largest inmate population. The prison complex consists of three medium custody housing facilities and a minimum custody housing unit. There is a medical facility called the Extended Care Unit that houses infirmary cases, a Palliative Care Unit, inmates on specific types of watches for mental health concerns and inmates with chronic diseases or handicaps that preclude housing in general population. An additional unit contains detention beds. Each housing facility has its own administrative and support services that include medical and mental health staffing, academic and vocational education, social services and religious resources.
