SCI Coal Township in Northumberland County takes inmate deposits through JPay, the same provider the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections (PA DOC) uses at all of its state prisons. That statewide setup means the payment methods, the caps, and where a money order gets mailed are identical here and everywhere else in the system. You can find each one laid out in Send Money to SCI Coal Township. For an account hold or a question the facility handles, call SCI Coal Township’s business office at (570) 644-7890.
