Finding information on inmates in the Coleman Center is easier than ever. You can find the updated inmate roster available on the Pennsylvania Department of Public Safety website.

The inmate roster is updated regularly, but it can sometimes not give out the most up to date information. If you feel this information is not current, you should contact the Coleman Center.

But, nonetheless, you can use the following pieces of information to search the roster with:

• Offender Status

• Inmate Name

• Offender Number

• Gender

• Race

• Ethnic Group

• Age Range

• Birth Date

If you are looking to brighten an inmate's day at the Coleman Center you can do so by sending them a letter.

If you really want to brighten their day, you can also send them books, magazines, and newspapers as well. However, these items will be required to be sent to the Coleman Center from the publisher. All incoming books are to be new and paperback. No used or hardback books will be accepted.

When sending anything to the Coleman Center, you will always need to have your return address on the envelope or package.

You can make out all mail to the following address:

Inmate Name, ID Number

Coleman Center

3950 D Street, Philadelphia, PA, 19124-4202

Just like nearly almost every other jail institution in the United States, the Coleman Center uses JPay. JPay is a service that makes it easier for you to deposit money into the inmate's account.

Inmates will need money in their account to buy supplies to write home, to use the phone, personal hygiene products, among other things.

You can use JPay by logging into your account online to deposit funds. If you do not have access to the internet, you can always call them over the phone to deposit funds as well as going to their kiosk in person.

Coleman Center contracts with Securtel for their phone needs. For an inmate to call home using Securtel, you will need to set up an account. When setting up an account, you can choose your payment method.

You will be responsible for ensuring there is money on the inmate's phone account, so they can make these calls home to you.

The Coleman Center does not allow walk-in visitations like other facilities. If you would like to visit an inmate who is currently in the custody of the Coleman Center, you will need to make an appointment.

You can make an appointment by contacting the Odom Correctional Institution at 215-203-1895
