The Central Reception and Assignment Facility (CRAF) located on Stuyvesant Avenue in Trenton, NJ, serves as a key intake and processing center for the New Jersey Department of Corrections. Its primary function is to receive, classify, and assign individuals who have been newly sentenced to the state’s correctional system. Upon arrival, inmates undergo a thorough evaluation process that includes medical, psychological, educational, and social assessments. This information helps determine the most appropriate facility and security level for each individual based on their needs and background. CRAF also temporarily houses inmates during this assessment phase before they are transferred to other long-term correctional facilities. It plays a crucial role in managing inmate placement and ensuring the safety and security of the correctional system in New Jersey.
