Bucks MCCC Resident Overview
Bucks County's Men's Community Corrections Center page describes a community-corrections facility for male residents, including men in work release and shared treatment programming. Phone routing goes through Bucks County Corrections at 215-345-3700. The building is at 1270 Almshouse Road in Doylestown, and the county notes that the community corrections entrance is on Almshouse Road between S Easton Road and Turk Road.
The center opened on July 28, 1991. It replaced the original Rehabilitation Center opened in 1963, which Bucks County describes as the first stand-alone work-release facility in the country. That history makes this facility different from the Main Correctional Facility. The main jail receives and classifies new commitments, while the Men's Community Corrections Center is built around lower-security custody, treatment links, and approved work-release movement.
The county identifies the center as nationally accredited by the American Correctional Association and says the Men's Community Corrections Centers have attained a fifth consecutive three-year Community Corrections Accreditation. The accreditation point belongs on this facility page because it is specific to this community-corrections operation and is not the same as sheriff accreditation or court accreditation.
The official county source for the Men's Community Corrections Center provides the address, capacity, opening date, and work-release role used here.
The screenshot is tied to the facility itself, so it is a better fit than a generic jail or court image for this resident lookup page.
Bucks MCCC Capacity
The Men's Community Corrections Center houses 270 male residents. Research describes it as a medium and minimum custody community-corrections setting, not a maximum-security central receiving jail. The April 2026 oversight source also references a small community-corrections count and 79 male minimum-custody residents in the same reporting context, but the research does not provide a full stand-alone daily population table for this building.
Because the center is part of the county corrections system, its resident count can be affected by court orders, work-release eligibility, treatment placement, classification, and movement back to the main jail. A resident may have a county custody record, a court docket, and work-release conditions at the same time. Those records serve different purposes and should not be treated as duplicates.
MCCC Resident Lookup
Bucks County has not published a separate Men's Community Corrections Center roster page. Use the Bucks County Corrections IVR lookup at 267-915-4072 for active county offenders and residents. The IVR can return bond, Corrections identification number, housing location, visiting hours, and other pertinent information. If the result is unclear, call Corrections at 215-345-3700 and ask whether the person is housed at MCCC or has a work-release schedule that affects visits.
Do not use the PA DOC locator for a current MCCC resident unless the person has been sentenced and transferred out of county custody. The PA DOC locator is for state-sentenced inmates and parolees, not people incarcerated in a county facility. Federal and immigration custody are also separate systems, checked through BOP or ICE when the case has moved outside the county correctional system.
- Call the Bucks County IVR and search for the resident by full legal name or known BCP number.
- Listen for housing location and visiting-hours details, since the result may distinguish the community corrections center from the main jail.
- Call 215-345-3700 when a work-release schedule, treatment movement, or recent transfer may affect access.
- Check UJS court records separately for charges, docket events, sentence status, and bail history.
MCCC Address and Contact
The MCCC address is different from the main jail address, even though both are part of Bucks County Corrections in Doylestown. The county's direction note is important: the entrance to the Men's and Women's Community Corrections Centers is on Almshouse Road between S Easton Road and Turk Road. People going to court, bail posting, sheriff services, or records offices may need a different destination.

MCCC Visit Rules
Use Bucks County corrections visitation rules unless staff provide resident-specific instructions. The official visitation page says visitors must be on the approved list, and the inmate or resident manages that list. Visitors over 16 need photo ID. Visitors under 16 must be accompanied by a legal guardian, while visitors ages 16 through 18 need legal guardian approval.
The work-release context makes confirmation more important for this facility than for a standard jail housing unit. A resident may be away for an approved work or program schedule, may have movement restrictions, or may be temporarily housed elsewhere after a rule violation, court order, classification change, or treatment need. Confirm custody and visit timing by IVR and phone before traveling to Almshouse Road.
| Visit Issue | Bucks County Rule | MCCC Practical Point |
|---|---|---|
| Approved visitor list | Required | Resident must manage list changes |
| Photo ID | Required for visitors over 16 | Bring acceptable ID and leave property outside |
| Visit limit | 30 minutes | Applies to in-person and video visits |
| Visitor count | Two visitors at one time | Plan small visits |
| Work release | Confirm by phone | Schedule may affect availability |
MCCC Mail and Money
Shared Bucks County mail rules apply unless staff give a resident-specific instruction. Effective March 1, 2024, personal mail from family and friends goes to the scanning mail center: Bucks County, PA; Inmate Name, BCP #; P.O. Box 247; Phoenix, MD 21131. Personal letters, pictures, and drawings sent directly to the correctional facility are returned. Legal mail, privileged mail, money orders, publications, and reading material may still use the facility address when permitted.
Bucks County communication rules identify GTL, GettingOut, and ConnectNetwork for phone, messaging, tablet, and video services. Money orders must include the resident's name and BCP number, and the county does not accept personal checks or cash. Care packages use Oasis Commissary or JailCanteen, with a $100 per inmate per week maximum and support at 770-889-9191.
| Service | Provider or Address | Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Personal mail | P.O. Box 247, Phoenix, MD 21131 | Use Bucks County, PA plus name and BCP number |
| Money orders | c/o Bucks County Correctional Facility | No cash or personal checks |
| Care packages | Oasis / JailCanteen | $100 weekly maximum per inmate |
| Phone and video | GTL / GettingOut / ConnectNetwork | GTL support: 888-949-3303 |
MCCC Work Release Records
Work release means a resident remains in custody while approved to leave for employment or structured community programming under correctional rules. It does not mean the resident has been released from the criminal case. The person may still have custody restrictions, reporting duties, housing assignments, program participation, and a court docket that continues to show sentence or bail conditions.
For records, the Bucks County IVR answers current active-offender status. Court dockets answer charge and sentence status. Corrections records beyond the IVR require the Department of Corrections records process. A current or former inmate may authorize release with the proper DOC-LD form in person with valid photo identification, while subpoenas can be submitted by mail. Family members should not assume that work-release status gives them access to a complete correctional file.

MCCC Programs and Accreditation
The Men's Community Corrections Center provides shared treatment programming for males and houses the male work-release program. Bucks County oversight materials also describe institutional job hours and drug and alcohol group participation across the correctional system. March 2026 reporting, for example, listed 95 offenders completing 8,079 institutional job hours and D&A group participation by minimum- and medium-custody offenders.
The ACA accreditation detail gives the MCCC page a distinct local point. The county states that the Men's Community Corrections Centers are nationally accredited and have reached a fifth consecutive three-year Community Corrections Accreditation. Accreditation does not replace custody verification, but it shows that this facility is a specialized county corrections operation rather than an informal halfway-house listing.
Note: Confirm resident housing and work-release availability before traveling, since schedules and custody placement can change.
MCCC in Bucks County Custody
The MCCC is one of three Bucks County Department of Corrections facilities. The Main Correctional Facility handles central receiving, intake, and higher-security classification. The Women's Correctional Facility houses females committed to Bucks County. The Men's Community Corrections Center holds male residents in a work-release and community-corrections setting. Together, those facilities form the official county detention footprint.
A person can move among county custody categories as classification, court status, work-release eligibility, program needs, and conduct change. If an IVR result, court docket, or family report does not line up with the expected MCCC placement, call Corrections. For a broader custody workflow, the Bucks County jail record process is summarized on the Jail Inmate Records page.
