Bellefonte, Pennsylvnia, PA

Visitation at Bellefonte, Pennsylvania is managed through the Pennsylvania DOC Inmate Visitation System (IVS). You'll need to schedule your visit in IVS at least two days in advance. Each adult visitor needs their own IVS account, authenticated through Keystone Login for identity verification. Video visits are available too. You can join from the IVS interface, by clicking the emailed Video Call URL, or through the Zoom app using the meeting ID and password provided. For in-person visits, Pennsylvania DOC policy allows up to four contact visits per month per inmate, including one weekend visit. Each visit lasts at least one hour and may allow up to four visitors. Bring a current government-issued photo ID showing your date of birth, and make sure the address you provide matches what's on your ID.

Bellefonte handles remote communication through an IVS and Zoom workflow for video visits. You can join by logging into your IVS visitor account, clicking the emailed Video Call URL, or opening Zoom and entering the meeting ID and password provided. Plan ahead: visits must be scheduled at least three days in advance, and you can't book more than 60 days out. Getting started typically means creating a visitor account with the approved vendor, completing identity verification, requesting facility approval, and purchasing any required vendor credits before your session. For tablets, the incarcerated person orders through the DOC commissary. If you'd like to help, you can send money so they can purchase one. JPay is the referenced vendor for sending funds. The department also lists a DOC Central Office contact for visitation and scheduling questions.
