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.
