Community Corrections Centers

The Bucks County Department of Corrections operates both a Men’s and Women’s Community Corrections Center.   These two centers are community-based, minimum security, work release facilities.  The philosophy for minimum custody and work release emphasizes personal accountability and treatment, while offering residents an opportunity to help themselves and their families.

The Men’s Community Corrections Center opened on July 28, 1991; replacing the original Rehabilitation Center opened in 1963 (this was the first stand alone work release facility in the country).  The building houses 270 male residents and provides shared treatment programming for both males and females.  Shared services offered to male and female residents include; intensive drug and alcohol treatment, adult basic education, case management, community service and work release.

The Women’s Community Corrections Center opened on July 28, 1992 using the old Rehabilitation Center.  This building offers 40 beds for female residents.  The opening of the Women’s facility offered the same levels of custody services and opportunities as the male population.

The Men’s and Women’s Community Corrections Centers are nationally accredited by the American Correctional Association.
