Scranton Community Corrections Center Overview
Scranton Community Corrections Center, often shortened to Scranton CCC, is listed by the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections Bureau of Community Corrections. The listed address is 240 Adams Avenue, Scranton, PA 18503-1602, and the listed phone number is 570-963-4215. Its operator is the PA DOC Bureau of Community Corrections, not Lackawanna County Prison and not the Lackawanna County Sheriff's Office.
The facility is physically in Lackawanna County, so it belongs on the county facility map. It should not be described as a county jail, a public booking roster, or the place to call first for a person just arrested by local police. Local arrestees normally route to Lackawanna County Prison if county custody is ordered. Scranton Community Corrections Center is tied to state-supervised community corrections, reentry, or work-release style custody and supervision.
The distinction matters for search accuracy. A family member may know that someone is in Scranton and assume the county prison has the record. If the person is under Pennsylvania DOC supervision or placement, the better first route is PA DOC's locator and the Bureau of Community Corrections contact path. If the person was arrested that day in Scranton, Dunmore, Carbondale, or another local municipality, Lackawanna County Prison is still the county custody starting point.

The BCC listing is the official source that separates Scranton Community Corrections Center from the county prison roster path.
Scranton CCC Capacity Status
Facility-specific capacity for Scranton Community Corrections Center was not located in official sources reviewed for the research file. That gap should not be filled with an estimate or with Lackawanna County Prison numbers. The county prison's Vera capacity and ADP figures apply to the county jail population, not to this state community-corrections facility.
The safe way to discuss Scranton CCC is by facility type and operator. It is a state community corrections center for DOC-supervised people. The public research did not locate a daily population count, bed count, public roster, sample record, facility-specific visit rules, commissary schedule, or mail policy for Scranton CCC. Those are not omissions to smooth over. They define the correct records route.
Scranton CCC Inmate Lookup
The correct lookup route for Scranton Community Corrections Center is the state DOC path. The PA DOC locate-an-inmate-or-parolee service says it covers incarcerated or department-supervised individuals and is updated daily. It also says people incarcerated in county facilities are not included. That means the same search tool can be right for a DOC-supervised person and wrong for a new county jail detainee.
- Confirm whether the person is under Pennsylvania DOC custody or supervision instead of local county jail custody.
- Search the PA DOC locator by last name or inmate number, with first name used to narrow common names.
- If the locator is unclear, call Scranton Community Corrections Center at 570-963-4215 and ask what information can be released.
- Use UJS Case Search for the court docket, sentence order, or Lackawanna County case history that may explain the transfer.
- If the person was just arrested locally, switch to Lackawanna County Prison at 570-963-6639.
A DOC community corrections placement does not work like a county booking profile. The county prison's mail vendor, OffenderConnect Site ID, and video visit instructions belong to Lackawanna County Prison. They should not be used for Scranton CCC unless the Bureau of Community Corrections or the facility gives the same instruction.
| Question | Correct Starting Point |
|---|---|
| State-sentenced or DOC-supervised person | PA DOC locator and BCC contact |
| Recent Lackawanna County arrest | Lackawanna County Prison |
| Charges, docket, bail, or sentence | UJS Case Search |
| Federal custody | BOP locator or USMS Middle District |
| Immigration custody | ICE Online Detainee Locator System |
Scranton CCC Contact
The official PA DOC BCC contact page supplies the facility address and phone number. No separate public hours block was located for Scranton CCC in the official research sources. Call before visiting or mailing anything, because a community corrections center may have rules that differ from county jail, state prison, and contract facility rules.

For county custody questions, use Lackawanna County Prison instead. For court-record questions after a Lackawanna County arrest, UJS and the Clerk of Judicial Records are the better route. Scranton CCC is relevant when the person is under DOC community corrections supervision or placement.
Scranton CCC Visits
Facility-specific visitation rules for Scranton Community Corrections Center were not located in official public sources. Lackawanna County Prison video visitation rules should not be borrowed for Scranton CCC. Do not assume the state prison visitor-approval process applies in full either, because a community corrections center is not the same facility type as a state correctional institution.
| Visit Topic | Public Source Status | Best Action |
|---|---|---|
| Public visit schedule | Not located in official sources | Call 570-963-4215 |
| Video visits | Not located for Scranton CCC | Ask the facility or BCC |
| Visitor approval | Not located for Scranton CCC | Confirm before travel |
| Identification rules | Not located for Scranton CCC | Ask what ID is required |
For a person coming from Lackawanna County Prison into DOC custody, the public search and visit route can change after sentencing. The court docket may show the sentence or transfer context, but the facility controls current visit instructions. That is why the phone confirmation step matters here.
Scranton CCC Mail and Money
No facility-specific mail format, commissary table, trust deposit vendor, or phone-account provider for Scranton Community Corrections Center was located in the official sources reviewed. PA DOC and BCC channels should be used for current instructions. The Lackawanna County Prison mail address in Phoenix, Maryland, and OffenderConnect Site ID 18 are county jail instructions, not Scranton CCC instructions.
| Service | Scranton CCC Public Status |
|---|---|
| Mail address format | Facility-specific format not located |
| Commissary or trust deposit | Facility-specific vendor not located |
| Phone account provider | Facility-specific provider not located |
| Package rules | Facility-specific rules not located |
When rules are not public, the most useful request is narrow and practical: ask the facility where to send approved mail, whether the person can receive mail at that location, whether a DOC number or other identifier is required, and whether money accounts are handled at the facility level or through a DOC-wide process.
Scranton CCC Placement Records
Scranton Community Corrections Center is not a street-arrest booking point like the county prison. The likely records trail starts with a DOC placement, parole or reentry supervision context, and a court sentence or supervision record. Use UJS Case Search to understand the Lackawanna County criminal case, then use DOC channels to determine whether the person is in a DOC facility or under DOC supervision.
Public records can show different parts of the same case. UJS may show charges, docket entries, sentence orders, and dispositions. PA DOC may show a department-supervised person. BCC may confirm facility-level routing if release of information is allowed. None of those tools should be treated as a public county jail roster for Scranton CCC.

Scranton CCC Records Limits
The main records limit for Scranton CCC is lack of facility-specific public detail. The research located an official BCC listing with address and phone, but not an official public roster, sample record, capacity, visit table, mail policy, commissary schedule, or money-deposit rule for the facility. That gap matters because inventing county jail procedures would send readers to the wrong system.
For state custody, the PA DOC locator is the primary public search route. For Lackawanna County court records, UJS is the public docket route. For county jail custody, Lackawanna County Prison is the custody phone route. Scranton Community Corrections Center fits between those systems as a state community corrections location in Lackawanna County.
Note: Confirm Scranton CCC custody, visit, mail, and account rules with PA DOC or the facility before relying on any outside listing.
