Review available deposit, commissary, money order, and online payment information for sending money to an inmate at Sci Somerset Pennsylvania.
To add money for someone at SCI Somerset, you'll need a JPay account. Tablets must be ordered by the inmate through the DOC commissary—there's no process for families to order them directly. Deposits are commonly made online, by phone, at lobby kiosks, or by mailing a money order. Confirm which methods SCI Somerset accepts before sending anything. Deposited funds typically go into specific balances (commissary/trust, phone/prepaid, or tablet) and cover commissary purchases, phone time, tablet access, and medical co-pays. Always include the inmate's full name and DOC/ID number so funds post correctly.
