Visitation at SCI Benner Township

How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements

Overview

SCI Benner Township's inmate handbook directs visitors to the Pennsylvania DOC visiting policy (DC-ADM 812), so visit types and rules follow statewide guidance. Pennsylvania DOC offers both in-person and video visits. Scheduling and identity verification are handled through the Inmate Visitation System (IVS) using Keystone authentication. Before you can schedule anything, the inmate has to add you to their authorized visitors list, and you need to create an IVS account. Each adult needs their own account. Minors are added under a parent or legal guardian. For video visits, you join through the IVS link or interface close to your scheduled time. Sessions run back-to-back, so being on time matters. Keep in mind that visit availability can vary by housing unit or custody status.
