Men's Center Placement or Release
The Bucks County Men's Community Corrections Center is a community-corrections and work-release facility. Residents remain under Bucks County Department of Corrections authority. Some may leave the center for approved work or programming and return under set rules. That movement is part of custody. It does not establish discharge, sentence completion, or release to the community.
A transfer from the Bucks County Correctional Facility to the center is a change in placement or custody level. A final departure may follow completion of the custodial term, a court order, county parole, or another authorized disposition. Some departures can still lead to another custodian. The county administrative record should identify the date, event code, and destination. The underlying docket or parole record supplies the legal authority.
This distinction is central to every lookup. Someone can be absent from the secure Easton Road jail because the person moved to community corrections. That fact cannot be restated as release. Likewise, a person can leave the men's center for another institution. Confirm the final status before describing the outcome.
Confirm a Men's Center Release
Bucks County has no separate public release feed for this center. It also publishes no facility-specific web roster or photo feed. The official active-offender lookup is a telephone IVR for Bucks Corrections as a whole. Its current information can include bond, local corrections ID, assigned location, and visiting hours. An active match supports present Bucks custody. An absent result cannot identify whether the person completed custody, moved, transferred, or fell outside the search because of timing.
- Call 267-915-4072 and follow the active-offender prompts. Record the Bucks Corrections ID and assigned-location detail when a match appears.
- Search Pennsylvania SAVIN through VINELink for the specific person. Read release and transfer events as different outcomes.
- Review the UJS Bucks County docket for the court order, sentence, bail, parole, or later change related to custody.
- Ask Bucks Corrections for the actual community-corrections departure record when the date, reason, or destination is needed.
Use the PA DOC locator only when state custody or state parole is plausible. It excludes a person held solely in a county facility. A positive supervised-person result can establish current state field supervision, but it does not prove full sentence discharge. For county parole or probation, Bucks Adult Probation is the relevant local agency, though it offers no public name-by-name probation search.
Note: PA SAVIN is an event-notification system, not a certified record of final discharge from every form of custody.
Men's Center Release Records
A useful request names the person, the likely date range, and the relevant community-corrections placement. Include the Bucks Corrections number if the IVR or another record supplies it. Ask for existing admission or placement date, commitment or docket identifier, actual departure date and time, event code, release reason, and destination or receiving authority. A request for exact fields helps the custodian find the event without creating a new narrative.
| Record detail | Why it matters at the men's center |
|---|---|
| Placement date | Shows when the person entered community corrections, not when county custody ended |
| Bucks Corrections ID | Separates the correct resident from similar names |
| Departure date and time | Identifies when the recorded center stay ended |
| Event or release code | Distinguishes completion, parole, court action, transfer, or another disposition |
| Destination or receiving authority | Shows whether the person entered the community or remained in custody elsewhere |
A transfer code needs its code key and receiving authority. Community release should not be inferred from a general “release/transfer” count in an oversight report. Those reports combine distinct movements. The record for the individual event is the proper source.
Men's Center Records Contact
The center is at the county's documented Almshouse Road location. Its entrance is described as between South Easton and Turk Roads. The official sources do not document a dedicated release exit, waiting area, shuttle, or transportation process, so none should be assumed. Use the county's stated entrance and call Bucks Corrections for current facility instructions.

Bucks Corrections main phone: 215-345-3700
Active-offender IVR: 267-915-4072
Entrance: Almshouse Road between South Easton and Turk Roads
The Bucks Corrections records page directs a current or former person's self-file request to the Records Department at 1730 South Easton Road. DOC-LD Form 1 and valid photo identification must be presented in person. Published records hours are Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Saturday from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. Only subpoenas may be mailed under that process.
Protected treatment, security, victim, investigative, or criminal-history material may be withheld or redacted. A custodian certification or CHRIA disclosure can accompany the response when applicable. The process concerns records held by county Corrections. State prison and state parole files belong to the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections.
Men's Center Release Profile
The official men's center page describes a residential community-corrections operation for male residents. Its work-release setting differs from the medium- and maximum-security role at the main correctional facility. Both remain parts of Bucks County Department of Corrections. The distinction affects movement and daily activity, but not the need for an official record when someone claims that custody ended.
Capacity is not today's population. Nor is it a release count. The June 2025 oversight report combined men's community-corrections “releases/transfers,” listing 107 for May and 100 for June. A later report used the same combined label for other months. Since transfers and community releases share one column, those numbers cannot be presented as people freed. They do show why the individual event code matters.
A 2024 report separately listed average daily populations for the main facility, people housed elsewhere, and community corrections. Those categories describe custody load across the system. They should not be added into an invented release statistic. Search results and population tables provide context, while the person's record provides proof.
Men's Center Release History
The current Men's Community Corrections Center opened on July 28, 1991. It replaced a rehabilitation center opened in 1963 that Bucks County describes as the first stand-alone work-release facility in the country. That history is more than local color. It explains why older county records can use “rehabilitation center,” “work release,” or another community-corrections label for a role now tied to the current Almshouse Road center.
The center forms one era in a broader Bucks correctional history. The current main correctional facility opened in 1985. A new connected women's facility followed in 2023. Older oversight documents and current web pages may group populations differently as buildings and programs changed. When a record's facility label seems inconsistent, compare its date with the county's history and ask Corrections to identify the placement.
Historical names do not decide release status. A move from the secure facility to the earlier rehabilitation center, or to the current center, remained a custody placement unless the record says otherwise. The event code, receiving location, court order, and supervision terms must all align before a final release conclusion is made.
Note: The county's older work-release labels may describe a predecessor site rather than the current Almshouse Road center.
Men's Center Release Authority
A departure can depend on a Bucks court order or county parole decision. Magisterial District Court records may show early case and bail activity. Court of Common Pleas dockets may show disposition, minimum and maximum terms, probation, county parole, and later modifications. The docket explains legal authority, but the center record supplies the physical departure and destination.
- Work release
- Authorized activity outside while the resident remains in county correctional custody.
- County parole
- Conditional community release with part of a county sentence still under supervision.
- Probation
- A court-ordered community sentence or condition that is distinct from state parole.
- Transfer
- A move to another placement or authority without ending custody.
Bucks Adult Probation and Parole handles county supervision. The Pennsylvania Parole Board makes state parole decisions, and PA DOC performs state field supervision. Those systems cannot be treated as interchangeable. A person leaving the men's center under county parole should not be described as a PA DOC parolee unless a state record supports it. More context on this agency split appears in the Bucks County release-record search.
Men's Center ICE Transfers
Bucks County's February 2026 action opposed proposed warehouse-style immigration detention facilities. It did not identify an active ICE jail in Bucks County, and there is no ICE facility page to create. The resolution also cannot prove that no resident ever transfers from county custody to federal immigration custody elsewhere.
If the men's center departure record identifies ICE or an immigration detainer, label the event as transfer to immigration custody unless another record confirms a later release. Use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System with the nine-digit A-number and country of birth when possible. The alternative needs the exact first and last name and country of birth, with date of birth as an optional filter. The system is for current custody, not a historic list.
A missing ODLS result is not a release certificate. Exact spelling, timing, custody scope, or a later move can affect the search. ICE's information line is 1-888-351-4024, weekdays except holidays, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern. First get the county transfer event and receiving authority, then trace the federal stage. Leaving the men's center and leaving all custody are separate facts.
Men's Center Release Proof
The strongest conclusion joins three records. The center or county file shows the departure. The court or parole record shows legal authority. A receiving-system result shows whether custody continued elsewhere. Names alone are not enough. Match the Bucks Corrections number, docket, date, and agency whenever those details are available.
Public systems can lag or have limited scope. UJS omits sealed, expunged, and Clean Slate limited-access cases. PA SAVIN reports events rather than issuing certified discharge records. The active IVR focuses on people presently active. Treat each source as one part of the chain, and use the county administrative record for the exact men's center event.
