Bucks Men's Community Corrections Inmate Search
Bucks County Inmate Search: Finding Someone on the Doylestown Jail Campus
Adults arrested anywhere in this county start at the Main Correctional Facility, 1730 South Easton Road, Doylestown, PA 18901, where every new arrival is booked and classified and men stay at medium and maximum security. Every woman is housed in the Women's Correctional Facility, a connected building at 1730 South Easton Road, Doylestown, PA 18901. The Men's Community Corrections Center, 1270 Almshouse Road, Doylestown, PA 18901, is low-security work release for men. Read on to locate someone, then sort out visits, deposits, mail, court dates and release.
Your first stop is the county's official inmate lookup page. Its phone line, 267-915-4072, reads out a person's bail, housing unit, ID number and visiting hours. Someone booked or released in the last few hours may not come up yet. Filed charges appear on the state court portal.
Then phone the jail at 215-345-3700, the line for all three buildings. Keep the legal name and birthday next to you. Ask three things: what the charges are, how much bail is, and when court is next. For getting them out, open our bail page; for what comes after, try the court guide.
1. How does the Bucks County phone lookup work, step by step?
The county's lookup works by phone and covers people now in custody. Follow these steps:
- Open the official inmate lookup page for the current instructions.
- Call 267-915-4072 and follow the voice prompts to search for the person.
- Listen for the bond amount, the housing location and the visiting hours for that unit.
- Write down the BCP number. That is the person's Bucks County Corrections ID. It goes on every letter and deposit, and staff ask for it on calls.
- To see the charges and court dates, search the person's name on the UJS case portal.
The main jail takes in over 7,432 people a year and holds about 727 on an average day, so new names appear often. With questions the phone line can't answer, call the Department of Corrections at 215-345-3700.
↑ Back to the question list2. Why might the lookup line come up empty?
Several things can keep a name off the line:
- Booking is still going on. The person may be waiting for the preliminary arraignment, which often happens within hours.
- They are already out. The judge may have released them on their own promise, or someone posted bail.
- They were never booked. Police sometimes release people at the station and mail court papers later.
- A transfer. Another county, the Marshals or ICE may now have the person.
- Age. Anyone under 18 is sent to the Youth Center instead.
- Spelling. Search again with a middle name, an old last name or another spelling.
For a quick answer, ring the jail at 215-345-3700. A name search on the state court portal also shows whether charges were filed.
↑ Back to the question list3. Which jail or building could be holding them?
The county runs three adult buildings on one campus in Doylestown. One phone line, 215-345-3700, serves them all, so ask staff which building holds the person.
- Main Correctional Facility, 1730 South Easton Road, Doylestown, PA 18901. Every new arrival, man or woman, is booked and classified here first. Men waiting for trial and sentenced men stay here at medium and maximum security, in 752 bunks across 11 living units.
- Women's Correctional Facility, 1730 South Easton Road, Doylestown, PA 18901. This building is joined to the main one and opened in 2023. Its 304 beds hold every woman committed in the county, women on work release included.
- Men's Community Corrections Center, 1270 Almshouse Road, Doylestown, PA 18901. This is the minimum-security work release center for men, with about 270 residents. Its entrance is on Almshouse Road between South Easton Road and Turk Road.
- Youth Center, 1750 Easton Road, Doylestown, PA 18901, 215-340-8300, for youths only.
Picked up near the county line? Check these neighbors too:
- Montgomery County Correctional Facility, 60 Eagleville Road, Eagleville, PA 19403, 610-635-7100
- Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility, 7901 State Road, Philadelphia, PA 19136, 215-685-7843
- Lehigh County Jail, 38 North Fourth Street, Allentown, PA 18102, 610-782-3270
- Northampton County Prison, 666 Walnut Street, Easton, PA 18042, 610-829-7400
4. Can I see Bucks County mugshots?
The county's lookup is a phone line, so it reads out custody details. Whether booking photos are handed out depends on the county and on recent Pennsylvania court rulings. A reporter or relative can ask the jail at 215-345-3700 or the arresting department.
- ICE handles requests for its photos on its records request page.
- The federal government keeps most booking photos private. The Marshals Service sometimes makes an exception for a fugitive.
5. Will someone tell me when they get out or move?
Yes. The county's corrections pages link to PA SAVIN, the state's free alert service on VINELink. Besides alerts, a VINELink search reports custody status and the holding facility. Registered users hear by phone, text or email about a release, a transfer or an escape. Coverage takes in county jails, state prisons and state parole.
- Sign up on VINELink for Pennsylvania or with the VINELink app.
- Or call 866-972-7284 at any hour. TTY users can dial 866-847-1298.
- The person in jail won't learn that you registered.
You must register yourself, since alerts are not sent on their own. To check today's status, the county's phone lookup at 267-915-4072 is quicker.
↑ Back to the question list6. How is bail set and paid after a local arrest?
Bail is decided at the preliminary arraignment by a magisterial district judge, often by video, within hours of booking. The judge can release the person on a promise, add rules, or ask for money (Pa.R.Crim.P. 524).
- Pay at the Clerk of Courts in the Justice Center, 100 North Main Street, Doylestown, PA 18901, 215-348-6389, on weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
- Or pay at the jail from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays. At other hours, call the jail at 215-345-3700 first.
- Bring cash or a certified check. The county keeps a fee of $25 plus a small share of the bail.
- Each case needs its own release. A second warrant or an immigration detainer still blocks the door.
Our bail page explains each step, including refunds and bondsmen.
↑ Back to the question list7. Where can families read the exact charges?
A copy of the complaint is handed to the person at the first hearing. Relatives can see the same list online. Enter a name and pick the county on the state's UJS case search to open the docket.
Each charge carries a grade. F1, F2 and F3 are felonies, with F1 the most serious. M1, M2 and M3 are misdemeanors. "S" stands for summary, the bottom grade, which covers many traffic tickets.
Final charges are the District Attorney's call. Prosecutors can add or drop counts later. The office is at 100 North Main Street, Doylestown, PA 18901, 215-348-6344. Copies of court records come from the Clerk of Courts at 215-348-6389.
↑ Back to the question list8. What steps lead to a free defense lawyer?
The Public Defender has staff in an office inside the jail. They meet new inmates and can start a request to lower bail. Family can also call the main office at 100 North Main Street, Doylestown, PA 18901, 215-348-6473.
- Ask for an application while the case is open.
- Complete the emailed application, sign, and return it by email.
- Next, a paralegal phones with the decision on eligibility.
The applicant must swear to their income in writing. The county sets its own income test (16 P.S. § 9960.1 and following). A private lawyer is another choice.
↑ Back to the question list9. What are the Bucks County jail visiting rules?
In-person visits take place on Saturdays only. They are non-contact, first come first served, and limited to two visitors per inmate. Each housing unit has its own half-hour slot between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. The phone lookup at 267-915-4072 tells you the person's unit and its hours.
- Only people the inmate has added to an approved list may visit. The inmate controls who is on it.
- Check in at the lobby. Visitors 16 and up must show photo ID: a driver's license, a state non-driver ID, a job or school ID, or a passport.
- Children under 16 come with a legal guardian. Visitors aged 16 to 18 need a guardian's OK.
- Follow the dress code. Bring only your ID and keys inside.
- Bringing in contraband is a crime that can lead to prison time.
Each inmate also gets a tablet for paid video visits. See our visiting guide for tips.
↑ Back to the question list10. Which deposit options fund an inmate account?
Deposits reach a jail account by kiosk, internet or mail:
- Lobby kiosk, daily from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., at 1730 South Easton Road, Doylestown, PA 18901. Cash in $5 to $100 bills costs $2.50 per deposit, up to $300. A card costs $2.95 for up to $20 and $11.50 at the $300 top. Pick the general account or the phone account.
- Online by credit or debit card, through the phone company's website.
- By mail, money orders only. Address it with the person's name and BCP number, c/o Bucks County Correctional Facility, 1730 S Easton Road, Doylestown, PA 18901.
Never mail cash or a personal check. Business Office staff take no cash at the window. They work weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 215-345-3700. A care package, capped at $100 a week, can be ordered online too; for help, call 770-889-9191. Tips on deposits sit in our money guide; store items are covered in our commissary guide.
↑ Back to the question list11. How are calls, video chats and messages handled?
One company runs phones, video visits and messaging for the jail. Each inmate is given a tablet. Video visits and messages cost money.
- For accounts, billing or tech help, call the provider at 888-949-3303.
- Put money on a phone account at the lobby kiosk or online.
- Save case talk for the lawyer. Jail calls and messages are a poor place for it.
Our phone tips and messaging page say more. Staff at 215-345-3700 can answer other questions.
↑ Back to the question list12. What address do letters to a Bucks County inmate need?
Letters from family and friends go to an out-of-state mail center, which scans them. Write it like this:
- Bucks County, PA
- Inmate's full name and BCP number
- P.O. Box 247, Phoenix, MD 21131
Legal mail, money orders and books go to the jail itself: Department of Corrections, the person's name and BCP number, 1730 S Easton Road, Doylestown, PA 18901.
- Put your return address on the envelope. Mail without one goes to a dead letter file.
- Use plain paper and a plain envelope, not colored ones. Skip crayon, marker, gel ink and highlighter.
- Leave out postcards, photos, greeting cards, colored paper, stickers, stamps, clippings, staples, tape, cash and checks.
- Order books and magazines so they ship from the publisher or a bookstore. Each inmate may keep five books.
Refused mail is sent back whole. For general rules, open our mail guide.
↑ Back to the question list13. Where do their belongings and court clothes go?
The jail stopped taking bulk property at admission. A person may keep only the clothes they arrive in and a few personal items, such as a wallet, a purse, jewelry, glasses, dentures, prescribed medicine, one Bible or Koran, and county legal papers. Tobacco is not allowed.
Family can drop off clothes for court. The inmate must first file a written "green slip" naming you, at least 7 days ahead. Then come any day from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., except holidays, and give the Lobby Officer the inmate's name.
To pick up belongings after a release or move, call 215-345-3700 and ask what ID and paperwork you need. The jail is at 1730 South Easton Road, Doylestown, PA 18901.
↑ Back to the question list14. Who do I call about illness, injury or suicide risk?
Doctors, nurses, mental health staff and counselors all work in the main jail's inmate services. Worried about a health problem? Phone 215-345-3700 and say you have a medical concern. Keep a list handy of the person's medicines, doses and their doctor's number. Before bringing any pills, ask staff how drop-offs work.
If you think the person may be thinking about suicide, call the jail's suicide hotline at 215-328-8530 right away. Say clearly what you heard or saw. In any life-threatening emergency, call 911.
↑ Back to the question list15. How can I check for a Bucks County warrant?
Sheriff's deputies serve bench warrants from the Court of Common Pleas, and local police and constables serve other warrants. Ask the Sheriff's Criminal Warrants Division at 215-348-6126. Tips stay confidential. Online, start with the Sheriff's warrants page, its CrimeWatch posts, the county's child support warrants and its support most-wanted list. Wider lists: the PSP Ten Most Wanted (tips 800-472-8477), the Marshals' top 15 and the FBI's wanted page. To clear a warrant, have a lawyer or the Public Defender reach the court that issued it and plan a surrender. The Clerk of Courts is at 100 North Main Street, Doylestown, PA 18901, 215-348-6389.
↑ Back to the question list16. Which office has the next hearing date?
The docket sheet lists each date and courtroom. Search the person's name and the county on the UJS case portal. Brand-new entries can lag behind.
- Early hearings happen at one of the 18 magisterial district courts. The court's number is on the docket. Call that court for its date.
- Later hearings take place in the Justice Center, 100 North Main Street, Doylestown, PA 18901. The Clerk of Courts answers at 215-348-6389.
- The Court Administrator handles schedules at 215-348-6700.
Our court guide lists every district court and explains each step.
↑ Back to the question list17. What if they are in federal custody?
The Eastern District of Pennsylvania takes federal arrests made here. Court sits in Philadelphia's James A. Byrne U.S. Courthouse, 601 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106, 215-597-7704.
- A detention hearing happens on day one in federal court. It decides home or a cell until trial (18 U.S.C. 3142).
- Before trial, they are U.S. Marshals Service prisoners. Call the Philadelphia office at 601 Market Street, Room 2110, Philadelphia, PA 19106, 215-597-7272, to ask where they are held.
- Many federal detainees stay at FDC Philadelphia, 700 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106, 215-521-4000.
- Following a federal sentence, track them with the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator by name or register number.
18. What happens once immigration agents step in?
Federal immigration agents may ask the county to turn someone over. The process tends to run in this order:
- First, ICE lodges a detainer with the jail. The paper is Form I-247A.
- Federal rules then let the county hold them for up to 48 hours after they would otherwise be released (8 CFR 287.7(d)).
- That is a request, not an order. The Third Circuit said so in a 2014 case, Galarza v. Szalczyk. The ruling adds that a county keeping a person on a detainer alone may be liable for that choice. So every county jail writes its own policy. Ask this one at 215-345-3700.
- After pickup, ICE's Philadelphia Field Office runs the case from 114 North 8th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107, 215-656-7164.
- Use the ICE Online Detainee Locator. The A-number gives the surest match. If you lack it, enter the full name and the nation where the person was born.
19. Which search shows a person serving state time?
State prison is where a sentence with a top term of 5 years or longer is served. Many 2-to-5-year sentences are too (42 Pa.C.S. § 9762). After sentencing, state staff test and classify each new prisoner at a reception center. That stage can run for weeks or months. Only then is a home prison picked.
- Look them up by name or inmate number on the Pennsylvania DOC inmate locator.
- The Pennsylvania Department of Corrections is at 1920 Technology Parkway, Mechanicsburg, PA 17050, 717-728-2573.
- Letters to state prisoners go through a central mail processor, not the prison itself.
- Our Pennsylvania state prisons section covers visiting and mail, prison by prison.
20. What if the person held is under 18?
Teens who are detained stay at the county's Youth Center, 1750 Easton Road, Doylestown, PA 18901, 215-340-8300, rather than with adults. The center has 36 secure beds. Juvenile court files stay off the public court portal.
Phone Juvenile Probation at 30 East Court Street, Floor 3, Doylestown, PA 18901, 215-348-6514. That office tracks each young person's location and hearing dates. Murder, and certain violent crimes using a deadly weapon, put teens 15 and older in adult court from the start (42 Pa.C.S. § 6302).
↑ Back to the question list21. Which Bucks County police force handled the arrest?
The District Attorney's Office counts 40 local police departments in the county. Not sure who made the arrest? Jail staff know the booking agency, so ask them first.

Every year Bucks County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain 28,280 offenders, and maintain an average of 1,414 inmates (county-wide) in their custody on any given day.
The weekly turnover rate of inmates is approximately 55%, meaning that every week more than half of these inmates are released and then replaced with new offenders being booked into jail.
The charts below break down the men, women, races, ethnicities and the types of crimes that people are arrested and incarcerated for in both Bucks County and state prisons throughout the country. This information is compiled from local police and the Bucks County Sheriff's Department, as well as the state of Pennsylvania and the United States Department of Justice and Census Bureau.
