UPDATE:

On Monday, March 7, 2022, the Philadelphia Department of Prisons (PDP) will resume in-person civilian visits. Registration will begin on Friday, March 4.

The PDP has reached this decision as both hospital and infection rates continue to decline in the city and region. PDP will continue its ongoing mitigation efforts to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission and to keep our workforce and incarcerated population safe.
