Atlantic County officials are facing fresh heat over conditions inside the Gerard L. Gormley Justice Facility in Mays Landing, after Steven Young, director of the South Jersey chapter of the National Action Network, said the county shut down his request for a formal tour. Young had asked to inspect the jail following a wave of complaints about overcrowding, poor food and limited religious accommodations from inmates and community advocates. Hoodline.com reports Young sent a letter to the Atlantic County Board of Commissioners on June 16 asking for a walk-through that would include NAN members, county commissioners, the Atlantic County sheriff and representatives from each housing unit, according to NJ.com. He argued the visit was necessary after inmates reported overcrowding and deteriorating conditions, and he compared the jail to Delaney Hall, a privately run immigration-detention facility in Newark.
