Pennsylvania Department of Corrections Secretary John Wetzel announced today that four additional facilities have finalized plans to reimplement in-person visitation.

The latest facilities to confirm dates to welcome back visitors are SCI Smithfield (permanent population only), July 8; SCI Somerset, July 8; SCI Frackville, July 9; and SCI Mercer, July 9.

Reopening dates for additional facilities will be announced when they are available.

Visitors are reminded that visits must be scheduled online at least three days in advance. To comply with reduced visiting room capacity limits, visitors who arrive at a facility without an appointment will be turned away.

Information on scheduling an in-person or video visit and the reopening of DOC facilities is available at cor.pa.gov. Visitors may begin scheduling in-person visits via the inmate visitation system seven days before the start date. Dates are subject to change.
