Prison Description

The Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility is named in honor of Warden Patrick N. Curran and Deputy Warden Robert F. Fromhold, who were murdered at Holmesburg Prison on May 31, 1973. They are the only PDP staff known to have been killed in the line of duty. Opening in 1995, the Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility (CFCF) is the largest PDP facility. CFCF consists of four housing buildings and an administration/ core building. Each building has eight housing units, or pods, four on each floor. Each pod consists of 32 cells, divided into two tiers, organized around a common living and dining area. Inmates housed on each pod have access to indoor and outdoor recreation, medical triage, law library, and program areas. The core building includes the administrative offices for the Commissioner of Prisons, central administrative staff, the warden, and facility staff. Facilities for intake and reception, along with industrial shops, educational classrooms, and program areas, also are included in the core building. A bail commissioner, court staff, and public defenders are on site, and lineups are conducted at CFCF. Occupying one full acre of the 25-acre facility is a cook-chill food production facility with the capacity to produce 40,000 meals daily. CFCF serves as a 24-hour intake center for adult males, and almost 30,000 males are processed through the facility´s receiving room on an annual basis. All new inmates undergo an admissions and diagnostics process, which includes classification; orientation; medical examination; issuance of an inmate handbook, clothing, and personal care items; and social service assessment.

Hi Lourdes, we are a private website that provides basic information about jails
and prisons. Call the prison directly, request the prison chaplain, who probably
can help you. If you still have difficulty, let us know.

My grandson although being 20 years of age was sent to CFCF last night. He is in the Autistic Spectrum having an intellectual disability. I let all the arresting personnel aware of this. He has to spend the night as I cannot get his bail money until tomorrow will he be safe in there? Who can I contact to see how he is doing? I’m beyond nervous

Hi Theresa, your best option, provide the bail, so that he can be released pending trial.
Additionally, if he does not have an attorney, we can recommend an excellent Pennsylvania criminal defense attorney, with
extensive exp erience located in the Philadelphia area.
