How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
SCI Greene offers inmate programming that includes vocational training in Carpentry and Heating/Air Conditioning/Refrigeration, plus correspondence courses and a Money Smart financial-education class. To send money, deposits are typically made through approved online or phone services, a facility lobby kiosk, or by mailing a money order. Confirm the facility's currently accepted methods before sending anything. Funds go into designated accounts (commissary or trust, phone or tablet balances) and can be used for commissary purchases, phone time, tablets, and possible medical co-pays. Accounts are created at intake. Inmates receive receipts or monthly statements showing deposits and transactions. Include the inmate's full name and facility-specific ID or booking number on any deposit paperwork, plus your return address.

Your first visit goes smoother when you handle the basics ahead of time: schedule through IVS, bring the right paperwork for kids, and show up ready for security screening and strict vehicle rules.
Before helping your loved one use any in-facility communication technology, there's one documented policy to be aware of: inmates and reentrants can be held financially responsible for losses, costs, or damages they cause to Department information technology systems if the damage is intentional or negligent. This policy can apply broadly to technology used inside the facility, including devices or systems for messaging, video communication, or other IT-based services. That's the only facility-specific communication detail covered by the evidence provided here. Phone numbers, vendor names, messaging rules, visiting or video schedules, fee amounts, and how charges are calculated aren't included. You'll need to confirm those details directly with the facility.
