The Philadelphia Prison System (PPS) operates six major correctional facilities on State Road in Northeast Philadelphia. The PPS correctional facilities confine adults who have been committed by the courts and juveniles who have been remanded to the adult penal system through either direct file or certification. In addition, prisoners from other correctional jurisdictions are detained within the PPS while attending court proceedings in Philadelphia. As a county correctional system, the PPS houses inmates with sentences of two years or less. Some inmates with multiple consecutive sentences are incarcerated longer. About 60.5 percent of PPS inmates are awaiting trial, and the remaining 39.5 percent are convicted. PPS is conveniently located to all areas of Philadelphia and the New Jersey suburbs with easy access from Interstate 95.
