CTC Erie Overview
CTC Erie is listed by the Pennsylvania DOC Bureau of Community Corrections as a Region 3 Community Contract Facility. Its official address is 1928 Wager Road, Erie, PA 16509-4057, and its phone number is 814-825-0373. The research uses the spelling "Wager Road" because that is the official spelling captured from the PA DOC BCC contact page.
This facility belongs to the community corrections and reentry side of the custody map. It is not a county jail and not a state prison like SCI Albion. A person under a fresh Erie County arrest should be checked through Erie County Prison. A person under state custody or supervision may require the PA DOC locator, the BCC contact page, or direct contact with CTC Erie.
The relevant image source is the PA DOC BCC contact list, which shows both Erie CCC and CTC Erie in the official community corrections directory.
The BCC directory source supports the facility's address, phone number, and classification as a community contract facility rather than a jail.
CTC Erie Population
PA DOC does not publish a separate CTC Erie capacity or resident population on the BCC contact page used in the research. The May 31, 2026 PA DOC Monthly Population Report aggregates community contract facility counts by region. It lists CCF-Western at 184 population and 184 capacity, but that regional count is not a facility-specific CTC Erie total.
The report's community corrections notes include SIP, parole violator center cases, and halfway back categories. Those regional figures show why CTC Erie should be described as a reentry or contract supervision site, not as a jail with a public roster, booking gallery, or daily inmate count.
Search CTC Erie Records
CTC Erie lookup should start with the person's likely custody status. If the person was just arrested in Erie County, call Erie County Prison. If the person is a state inmate, parolee, or DOC-supervised person, use the PA DOC Inmate and Parolee Locator or contact BCC. If the question is whether CTC Erie itself has a resident or can confirm contact rules, call the facility number listed by PA DOC.
- Search the PA DOC locator by last name or inmate number for state custody or parole status.
- Review whether the result points to DOC supervision, parole, or a facility assignment.
- Call CTC Erie at 814-825-0373 for facility-specific contact and resident questions.
- Use Erie County Prison at 814-451-7500 only for county jail custody after arrest.
- Use UJS Case Search for charges, docket events, bail entries, dispositions, and court dates.

CTC Erie Contact
The BCC contact page is the official source for CTC Erie's address and phone number. The research did not locate a separate CTC Erie public schedule, office hours table, facility director page, resident handbook, or visit sign-up portal. Facility staff or BCC should be contacted before a visit, delivery, or records request tied to residence at this location.

CTC Erie Visit Rules
No Erie-specific visitor schedule, visit length table, approval form, or resident movement schedule was published on the BCC contact page found in the research. The lack of a public schedule should not be filled with Erie County Prison rules or SCI Albion rules. CTC Erie is a community contract facility, so its resident contact rules may be tied to reentry programming, employment, supervision status, and contract facility procedures.
| Item | Public detail found | Correct handling |
|---|---|---|
| Visiting days | No public CTC Erie schedule found | Call 814-825-0373. |
| Visitor approval | No CTC-specific public approval rule found | Ask facility staff what is required. |
| Resident movement | No published schedule found | Confirm with CTC Erie or BCC. |
| County prison pods | Not applicable | Use only for Erie County Prison visits. |
CTC Erie Mail and Money
No CTC Erie-specific mail format, commissary vendor, money deposit fee table, resident phone vendor, or package rule was located on PA DOC's public BCC contact page. Because CTC Erie is not the county jail, Erie County Prison's Smart Communications, JailATM, Oasis, and SmartJailMail information should not be copied onto this facility's instructions. Because CTC Erie is not SCI Albion, state prison mail and JPay instructions also should not be assumed without confirmation.
| Service | Published CTC Erie detail | Practical step |
|---|---|---|
| No CTC-specific format found | Call CTC Erie before mailing items. | |
| Phone contact | No resident phone vendor found | Ask the facility how contact is handled. |
| Money | No public deposit fee schedule found | Do not send funds without facility instructions. |
| Packages | No public package rule found | Confirm approved items first. |
CTC Erie Reentry Intake
CTC Erie should not be described with jail booking terms such as mugshot, bail, pod, arraignment holding, or current jail roster. The facility is tied to reentry and community contract supervision under PA DOC Bureau of Community Corrections direction. A resident's status may connect to parole, state custody, program placement, halfway back placement, or other BCC category rather than a fresh criminal booking.
That distinction helps avoid bad lookup paths. A person who was arrested last night should be checked through Erie County Prison. A person sentenced to state prison may be searched through PA DOC and may be housed at SCI Albion or another SCI. A person in a community corrections or contract setting may require BCC and facility contact. Court charges after any Erie County arrest are still searched through Pennsylvania UJS Case Search and the Erie County Clerk of Courts.
CTC Erie may therefore appear in a custody search only after the question is framed correctly. For a local booking question, the answer is the county prison phone line. For a state custody or parole question, the answer is PA DOC locator and BCC contact information. For a court-record question, the answer is the court docket, not the contract facility.

About CTC Erie Records
CTC Erie fills a different role from the other Erie County detention and corrections facilities. Erie County Prison is the local jail. SCI Albion is a state prison. Erie Community Corrections Center is a state-run community corrections center. CTC Erie is a community contract facility under BCC direction. Each uses different records and contact channels, so a single "Erie County inmate search" does not cover all four settings in the same way.
The public research did not include CTC Erie-specific capacity, schedule, fees, mail format, or resident handbook material. The accurate record-access position is contact-first. Use the PA DOC locator for state inmate or parolee status, the BCC contact page for official facility information, and the CTC Erie phone line for residence and contact questions that the public directory does not answer.
Note: Confirm resident status and contact rules with CTC Erie before travel, mail, funds, or deliveries.
