The Erie PA Community Corrections Center is a state prison located at 137 West 2nd St in Erie, PA in Erie County. This Reentry security prison is operated by the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections to hold inmates who have been convicted to and sentenced for a crime in the state of Pennsylvania.

The inmates housed at the institution are placed according to their custody level (determined by a number of factors including the past criminal history and the length of their sentence). There are ample educational and vocational training programs for all inmates, especially ones that show a willingness to learn new things that will prepare them for a better life when they are released. Pennsylvania's mission is to promote and prepare the offender to leave in better shape than when they arrived, giving them the best chance to never come back and thus lower the state's recidivism rate.

State facilities provide basic living standards to meet most of the inmate's needs, including dietary, health, fitness, education, religious practices, entertainment, and many others. Conditions in these prisons vary within the PA DOC depend on many intersecting factors including the age of the buildings, the security level of the inmates and budget.
