Medical and mental health are contracted services. Educational services are funded by the New Jersey Department of Education through local school districts.

Mountainview Youth Correctional Facility is a New Jersey Department of Corrections state prison young adult offenders ages 18-30, located in Clinton Township in Hunterdon County, situated on 747 acres of rolling hills in Annandale NJ. The Main Compound includes inmates classified as low medium and minimum custody. The facility’s close Custody Units are utilized for inmates who require temporary maximum security status. Those inmates housed in the Full Minimum Custody Unit work on the facility’s farm, on highway details and in local communities.

From at least 2008, Mountainview has had a difficult history. Two inmates have been murdered inside in recent years (Carl J. Epps, Jr. in August 2010, and Joshua Jones in August 2012), amid a long litany of assaults, drugs offenses, and inappropriate romantic relationships.
