Find Someone at Bucks County Department of Corrections

Bucks County's lookup runs by phone, not on the web. Search by name to confirm someone is at Bucks County Department of Corrections and start sending letters, photos, and money.

Quick Facts

  • 1 Bucks County publishes no online roster. Its automated Interactive Voice Response line at 267-915-4072 is the county's own lookup, and it answers around the clock without going through staff.
  • 2 That one call returns the bond amount, the person's Bucks County Corrections ID number, their housing location, and the visiting hours that apply to them.
  • 3 The Doylestown campus is 3 separate buildings: the Main Correctional Facility, the Women's Correctional Facility, and the Men's Community Corrections Center. Which building someone sits in changes the visiting schedule, so the housing answer matters.

Why Someone Might Not Show Up

A booking from the past few hours may not have reached the Interactive Voice Response system yet, so a call that comes up empty in the morning can turn up a record by that afternoon. Bucks County also holds mostly pretrial defendants, which means someone can post bond and be gone from the system within a day. Two other possibilities: the arrest happened in a different county, or the person was sentenced to state time and moved into a Pennsylvania Department of Corrections (PA DOC) prison, and once that transfer happens Bucks County’s records no longer follow them.

If You Can’t Find Them

Try the automated line at 267-915-4072 again later in the day, with the full legal name spelled the way it appears on court paperwork. If it still has nothing, the main Bucks County Department of Corrections line at (215) 345-3700 reaches staff who can check further or tell you the person was never in Bucks custody. One thing the automated line won’t do is take money: it reports a bond amount, but posting that bond goes through the Bucks County Clerk of Courts or a licensed bail bondsman. Because housing assignments move between the 3 buildings, recheck the line close to a visit instead of trusting an answer from last week.

Which of the 3 Bucks County buildings is my family member in?

The housing location the 267-915-4072 line reports tells you: the Main Correctional Facility, the Women's Correctional Facility, or the Men's Community Corrections Center. It's worth writing down, because visiting schedules differ by building. Call (215) 345-3700 if the answer isn't clear.

Q

Q

He was sentenced to state prison. Why is he gone from the Bucks County system?

Bucks County holds people awaiting trial and people serving short county sentences. A state sentence moves someone out to a PA DOC prison, and the 267-915-4072 line stops carrying them. Call (215) 345-3700 to ask where he was sent, then track him through PA DOC's statewide locator.
