Not sure how they do it today but years ago all adults sentenced to over a year in prison in NJ were first sent to Yardville. Thats where they processed you into the system and determined where you would go to serve your time....and the security level. They also determined if you had physical or mental problems.
Back then you would go from whatever county jail to Yardville and then to another state prison to serve out your sentence.
Yes that Is true. Nowadays they use CRAF for that. Straight hell hole. COs think they are tough and you are locked down eating state food and not getting out of your cell much. An hour in the yard every other day And an hour on the tier everyday which is pretty much a hallway.
