GARDEN STATE CORRECTIONAL FACILITY

GARDEN STATE CORRECTIONAL FACILITY is a public high school that is part of the OFFICE OF EDUCATIONAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS school district, located in YARDVILLE, NJ with about 83 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade.

The **GARDEN STATE CORRECTIONAL FACILITY**, located on Highbridge Road in Yardville, New Jersey, is a medium-security institution operated by the New Jersey Department of Corrections. While the facility historically housed a younger population and focused on rehabilitation, its role and operational status have shifted over time as part of the state’s broader prison consolidation and reform efforts. The facility is situated within a larger correctional complex in Mercer County, which includes other state detention units.

It is important to note that the GARDEN STATE CORRECTIONAL FACILITY is **not a school** in the traditional academic sense. While the New Jersey Department of Corrections provides educational programming—such as GED preparation, vocational training, and life-skills courses—to help inmates achieve rehabilitation and prepare for reentry into society, the institution serves primarily as a correctional complex. Any "schooling" occurring within its walls is strictly internal and tailored to the incarcerated population.
