The Coleman Center is classed as a residential reentry center (RRC), also known as a halfway house, located in Philadelphia, PA. This housing unit assists inmates who are nearing release in their final 3-12 months depending on the length of their original sentence. There is no security level other than voluntary compliance but there is a strict adherence to the rules of the house. Residents of the RRC submit to random drug and alcohol testing, sometimes daily. The RRC is a structured, supervised environment, as well as employment counseling, job placement, financial management assistance, and other programs and services until the inmate is officially released from custody - the food is a lot better too. Inmates are allowed to leave the RRC to go to work, shop for clothing or food, and go to religious services. Inmates in the RRC may become eligible for house-arrest or home detention with a monitoring bracelet.

Coleman Center is a state prison operated by the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections (DOC), serving as a facility to house and rehabilitate criminals sentenced by a judge for a specified period. Funded by state tax money, these institutions provide necessities like food and clothing while employing staff to ensure efficient operations. Inmates are under strict rules and regulations, facing additional punishments for violations, while still retaining certain rights granted by state and federal constitutions. Resembling a self-contained community, the prison has its own governance, law enforcement, judiciary, and amenities such as a commissary, housing, medical facilities, library, and places of worship. Inmates are assigned tasks to contribute to the facility's functioning. Privacy is minimal, with communal facilities and strict regulations governing personal space and possessions. Visitation privileges are granted to inmates in good standing, but contact is limited, and all communications, aside from legal calls, are monitored closely.
