How to Contact an Inmate at McKean County Jail (PA)
Staying in touch with someone at McKean County Jail comes down to three main options: in-person visits, paid video visits, and approved money deposits. Here are the McKean County-specific details that matter most.
McKean County Jail resumed normal weekly in-person visitation on September 6, 2022. Visits happen on Tuesdays and Saturdays, with two windows each day: 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM and 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM.
As of September 6, 2022, the jail cancelled the two free video visits per week it had been offering. Video visits are still available, but they're now paid. To schedule one, create an account through ICSolutions and pick a time slot.
Note: The jail only accepts a few specific items from visitors: new white underclothing in original packaging, a watch valued under $50, and a wedding ring. Corrections officers will not accept money directly. Deposits must go through the lobby kiosk or online deposit options.
The jail is located at 17013 Route 6, Smethport, PA 16749. You can reach them by phone at 814-887-2333.
Steps to Follow
- ✓ Plan for in-person visitation on Tuesday or Saturday (1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, or 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM)
- ✓ If you want video visits, plan on paid video visits through ICSolutions (the two free weekly video visits were cancelled)
- ✓ If you are bringing allowed items, stick to what the jail accepts: new white underclothing (original packaging), a watch under $50, or a wedding ring
- ✓ Do not bring cash expecting staff to take it. Use the kiosk in the jail lobby, or deposit online through Access Corrections or ICSolutions
- Call the jail to confirm the current visiting schedule and any day-to-day changes (814-887-2333).
- Confirm the person can receive an in-person visit before you make the trip, since in-person visitation is run on set days and times.
- Go during the listed visiting windows on Tuesday or Saturday (1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, or 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM).
Before you make the trip, confirm that in-person visitation is still on Tuesdays and Saturdays (1:00 PM to 4:00 PM and 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM). Also double-check the video visit setup. The jail cancelled its two free weekly video visits as of September 6, 2022, and paid visits are now scheduled through ICSolutions.
Heads up: Policies can change quickly. Call ahead to confirm the current list of accepted items and the exact deposit process (lobby kiosk vs. online).
