Find Someone at SCI Fayette

A state sentence doesn't move a man the same week a judge hands it down. He stays in county custody until the state receives him, and the record updates only after that handoff. If it's been longer than a few weeks, try his middle name and other spellings, then call SCI Fayette at (724) 364-2200 to ask whether he's been received at 50 Overlook Drive.

SCI Fayette opened in August 2003 as the Commonwealth's 26th correctional facility, built to replace two older prisons with a more energy-efficient design. If your documents predate that, the institution named on them may be closed, and the man you're looking for was moved somewhere else years ago. Call (724) 364-2200 if the current record still doesn't make sense.

Pennsylvania Department of Corrections (PA DOC) doesn't publish a custody level for SCI Fayette the way it does for some other institutions, and the locator never lists one anyway. If you need to know how restricted his housing is before planning a visit, ask him directly or call (724) 364-2200.

No. Fayette runs a PA Correctional Industries license plate factory that produces PennDOT plates, plus a metal shop making furniture and security equipment for state agencies, but job assignments stay out of the record. He can tell you in a letter, or you can call (724) 364-2200.

Fayette County holds people before sentencing, and SCI Fayette doesn't. The prison at 50 Overlook Drive receives men only after a state sentence, so anybody awaiting trial is in the county's system with its own separate lookup.
