Philadelphia Industrail Correctional Center, PA

Visiting someone at Philadelphia Industrial Correctional Center (PICC) requires an appointment scheduled 48 hours to seven days ahead. Some visitors are prohibited: people on probation, parole, or conditional release; anyone incarcerated in a PDP facility within the last six months; or anyone considered a security threat. The person inside can also refuse a visit, so confirm they want to see you before making the trip. General Pennsylvania DOC guidance recommends setting up an IVS account (Keystone authentication) and bringing a current government-issued photo ID matching the address you provided. If you're bringing children, don't schedule during school hours, and check the facility's child visitation rules and required documentation first.

Philadelphia Industrial Correctional Center uses third-party video and tablet services. You'll need to complete identity verification before video visits. With GettingOut, you upload clear front-and-back images of a state-issued ID plus a selfie, then follow the vendor's registration steps. To start remote contact, create a visitor account with the approved vendor, request to connect with the person in custody, and wait for facility staff to approve available times. Scheduling and payments are handled in the vendor portal or app. The facility's discharge and reentry materials also list community resources, including RISE (Mayor's Office of Reintegration Services) and Community Behavioral Health (CBH) as a 24/7 treatment option. If you believe a search was improper, ask for a supervisor or contact the Office of Community Justice Outreach using the phone numbers in facility materials.
