Visitation
SCI Huntingdon offers both in-person and video visits through the Pennsylvania DOC system. The DOC also provides a central email for visitation questions. Before scheduling or showing up, make sure you're on the inmate's authorized visitors list, set up a PA Inmate Visitation System (IVS) account authenticated with Keystone, and bring a current government photo ID showing your date of birth. Professional video visits work differently: call the Superintendent's Assistant to get added as a first-time professional visitor in the visitation system and coordinate the visit time. Need to cancel a professional visit? Call the Superintendent's Assistant, and an automated cancellation email goes to the address on file. One more thing: there's no visitor waiting area on facility grounds, so anyone not attending the visit must leave the property beforehand.

Send money to someone at SCI Huntingdon through JPay. Deposits aren't anonymous since JPay shares the sender's name with the Department. Want to help with a tablet purchase? The inmate must order the tablet through the DOC commissary system, but you can fund it by adding money to their account through JPay. If cash is confiscated at the facility, it goes into the Inmate General Welfare Fund (IGWF). For faster posting, use the facility's approved payment method, include the inmate's full name and facility ID or booking number, and use lobby kiosks or approved online or phone services when available.
