Alternative & Special Detention (ASD) (Philadelphia)

The Alternative and Special Detention (ASD) division is comprised of Central Unit and several satellite facilities, some located on the PPS campus and others located elsewhere in Philadelphia. These facilities house minimum- and community-custody men and women; inmates serving sentences on weekends, ASD inmates may be selected by the PPS or ordered by the courts to participate in the work-release program.
