Curran-Fromhold Jail Overview

Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility, often shortened to CFCF, is operated by the Philadelphia Department of Prisons. Philadelphia County is the same place as the City of Philadelphia, and its jail system is not run by the Sheriff. PDP is the local correctional agency for people accused or convicted of illegal acts in Philadelphia. CFCF is one of the main State Road custody buildings and is the public-facing primary jail address used in the research source set.

The facility holds adult men and functions as a city and county jail intake and housing site. Housing assignment still depends on PDP classification. A person booked after a Philadelphia arrest may be listed at CFCF, the Detention Center, Philadelphia Industrial Correctional Center, Riverside Correctional Facility, Alternative and Special Detention, or a temporary code that tells the public to call for assistance. For a broader view of the Philadelphia County inmate population, the monthly system reports are more useful than a single building count.

The official PDP facilities page identifies the State Road facilities as separate buildings with different roles. CFCF should be treated as one building within that larger system. That matters because mail, visits, and release timing can be affected when a person is moved after classification or court action.

The official PDP facilities source shows the State Road jail complex and its building names.

The facilities page is useful after the locator returns a CFCF result because it helps confirm that the person is in a PDP jail building, not a state prison or federal detention center.

Curran-Fromhold Custody Population

PDP public pages reviewed for this build did not publish a current official rated capacity for CFCF as a stand-alone building. The reliable population figures are systemwide. The May 2026 Philadelphia prison population report listed 3,251 people in the jail system on May 31, 2026 and a 2026 average through May of 3,336. Those figures count the Philadelphia jail system as a whole, so they should not be read as a CFCF headcount.

The jail census is dynamic. A CFCF assignment can change when classification moves a person, when a court orders release, when a detainer keeps the person in custody, or when a sentenced person transfers to the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections. For CFCF questions, the public locator and Classification phone lines are better current-location tools than an old population table.

Curran-Fromhold Inmate Lookup

Current CFCF custody is searched through the official Philadelphia Incarcerated Person Locator. The locator is narrow by design. It does not publish a public mugshot, charge list, bail amount, court date, arresting agency, or housing pod. It returns the person's name, PID, facility assignment, and last updated time when a match is found. For the full Philadelphia jail roster process, see the Philadelphia County jail inmate records page.

The locator accepts either a six or seven digit Police Identification Number, or a full first name, full last name, and date of birth. A last-name-only search is not supported. If the result shows CFCF, the person is assigned to Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility. If the result shows OJ or no facility available, PDP directs the public to call for help.

1. Open the Philadelphia Incarcerated Person Locator and choose the PID route if the PID is known.
2. Use the name route only when the full first name, full last name, and date of birth are available.
3. Read the facility field. CFCF means Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility.
4. For no match, check spelling and timing, then call Classification or search court, DOC, BOP, ICE, and VINE channels if needed.

The official locator page shows the Philadelphia custody search fields and the limited public result style.

Use the locator result as a custody-location lead, then use court dockets or phone confirmation for facts that the locator does not show.

Curran-Fromhold Address and Contact

CFCF is on the State Road jail campus. PDP routes public custody-location help through Classification, Movement, and Registration, which operates at all hours. Spanish-language help has its own number. The broader Community Justice and Outreach office is a weekday support path, but immediate location problems should start with Classification.

Community Justice and Outreach is listed by PDP for weekday help from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at cjo@prisons.phila.gov and through staff phone lines. Formal records not available online should use the City of Philadelphia Open Records Policy and the statewide Right-to-Know form, not an informal phone request.

Curran-Fromhold Visit Schedule

The official PDP visitation page lists CFCF weekday visit slots. The source captured for this build shows Monday through Friday visits at 9-10 a.m., 1-2 p.m., and 3-4 p.m., with 12 visits per slot for CFCF. Visitors should confirm before travel because lockdowns, staffing, court moves, discipline, illness, and emergency orders can change access.

Visitors should expect identity checks and screening. PDP's public directions do not provide a parking fee in the research set, so parking should be confirmed with the facility before arrival. The State Road campus contains several jail buildings near each other, which makes the locator's facility field important.

Curran-Fromhold Mail and Money

CFCF mail and commissary rules follow PDP systemwide instructions. The official mail page should be checked before sending letters, photos, books, or any item that might be rejected. Include the person's name and PID when known. Do not send legal papers, checks, cash, or property to a housing unit unless PDP instructions specifically allow that route.

Money for commissary is separate from bail. Bail may require court paperwork or surety steps, and a person can remain held on a probation detainer, denied bail, revoked bail, another agency hold, federal matter, or immigration detainer.

Curran-Fromhold Court Release Steps

Charges and court dates after a Philadelphia arrest are not displayed in the PDP locator. Use Pennsylvania UJS Case Search for Municipal Court and Common Pleas docket records. Philadelphia Municipal Court initially processes every criminal arrest in the city. Felony cases can later connect to a Common Pleas docket, so the cross-court docket number is a key field.

Release is not controlled by CFCF alone. A court may set cash bail, deny bail, revoke bail, dispose of a case, or order release subject to other conditions. PDP still must process the release, verify identity, check for detainers, and complete internal movement. The PAePay Bail portal can be used when electronic bail is available, but the portal warns that payment timing is not the same as immediate jail release.

PID

Philadelphia police identification number used by the PDP locator.

Detainer

A hold from probation, another court, another jurisdiction, federal custody, or immigration authorities.

Cross-court docket

A UJS field that can link a Philadelphia Municipal Court docket to a Common Pleas docket.

Curran-Fromhold Programs and Conditions

PDP's public materials describe systemwide reentry and support services, including workforce development, educational services, parenting classes, substance-abuse services, behavioral-health therapy, counseling, group therapy, and vocational training. Those programs are PDP-wide, so availability for a specific CFCF unit should be confirmed through PDP rather than assumed from a general service list.

Philadelphia also publishes jail population reports and monitor materials tied to the Remick jail-conditions settlement. Those materials are better sources for system trends than unsourced claims about one housing unit. The May 2026 population report is especially useful because it explains confinement categories such as pretrial cases, probation detainers, other holds, sentenced people, and sentence-deferred cases.
