SCI Greene

SCI Greene participates in the Pennsylvania DOC visitation program and supports both in-person visits and video visits through the Inmate Visitation System (IVS). Check the IVS visitor guide for facility-specific instructions. For video visits, your connection details appear in the automated confirmation email and under Upcoming Visits in your IVS account. Click the visit URL, and you'll be directed to Zoom. Select Launch Meeting and enter your name or email (the Meeting ID fills in automatically). On Windows, Mac, or Linux, you can join through the Zoom app or a web browser, and you're allowed to connect up to five minutes early. On-site, all visitors and visitor vehicles are subject to search and must pass through a metal detector. Secure your vehicle and equipment on prison property. There's no waiting area, so anyone not on the approved visitor list must leave the grounds.

SCI Greene provides DOC-approved tablets, but the incarcerated person must order the device through the facility commissary. If you want to help fund a tablet or paid features, send money to the inmate (a JPay account is required). ViaPath Technologies is the tablet vendor and offers a customer-service phone line for friends and family who need help. On the tablets, inmates can send and receive email, listen to music, play DOC-approved games, and read e-books using link units. Link units work like pennies. They're purchased through commissary, and funds can also be added at an in-facility Lobby Kiosk. The tablets have no Wi‑Fi or camera and must be synced at an in-prison kiosk at least every 30 days, or they'll lock. After release, the person keeps the tablet but must send it to ViaPath to remove the timer and enable Wi‑Fi/camera functions where applicable.

SCI Greene accepts inmate account deposits through JPay. Every transaction includes the sender's name, and there's no way to fund an account anonymously. You can add funds by credit card, money order, or MoneyGram walk-in service. Credit card deposits are limited to $300 per card every 72 hours. Each money order caps at $999.99, though you can send more than one. MoneyGram walk-ins allow up to $5,000 per transaction. The DOC doesn't set an overall limit on how much can be added to an inmate's account and may accept estate bank checks when the inmate ID is referenced. Inmates receive a monthly statement and a receipt when JPay posts funds. JPay also offers phone support, including help completing money order forms.
