“We want to make sure that everyone housed in the Essex County Correctional Facility has access to first-class health care and is treated fairly and justly. We appreciate members of the public sharing their experiences and the county and jail administrators for their cooperation,” Task Force Chairperson and former Gov. Jim McGreevey said.

This is the fifth public meeting scheduled by the civilian task force. The previous four meetings focused on the medical services and mental health services provided at the ECCF and the experiences shared by former residents of the facility, their family members or representatives.
