PDP releases updated COVID-19 protocols

With the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency, the Philadelphia Department of Prisons (PDP) has released updated COVID-19 protocols, which include masking no longer being required within PDP facilities.

The department will continue to work closely with the Philadelphia Department of Public Health to maintain these protocols and align them with guidance from the Centers for Disease Control.

We’re hiring Juvenile Detention Counselors!
