How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Most visitors to Schuylkill County Prison schedule in-person and video visits through Pennsylvania's Inmate Visitation System (IVS), which requires a Keystone-authenticated account. Visits are a privilege, and available options can vary by housing unit and custody status, so follow the prompts you see in IVS. Before you can be approved, the inmate has to add you to their authorized visitors list. Adults need their own IVS account, while minors are added under a parent or guardian. For video visits, open the IVS link or interface close to your start time. Sessions often run back-to-back, and late arrivals may lose their slot. Bring a current government-issued photo ID showing your date of birth, and make sure the address in IVS matches your ID to avoid verification issues.
