Quick Facts

  • 1 Pennsylvania Department of Corrections (PA DOC) records cover state-sentenced inmates and parolees only, not county jail or federal inmates.
  • 2 PA DOC dedicated SCI Greene on November 9, 1993, and the first men arrived January 3, 1994, so no Pennsylvania record places anyone here before that winter.
  • 3 About 65 men work in Greene's garment factory sewing jeans, coats, and every staff and garrison hat used across the state prison system, and work assignments never show up in a search.

Why Someone Might Not Show Up

Most of the time he hasn’t been received yet. A man stays in the county jail that held him through his case until the state takes custody, and county records sit in a separate system you’d have to check on that county’s own site. He also drops out of these results once he’s released or once parole ends. Two other possibilities: his case was federal, not state, or the name in the record carries a spelling you haven’t tried. If you’re looking for older history, remember that SCI Greene wasn’t holding anybody before January 3, 1994.

If You Can’t Find Them

Search the name a few ways, with a middle name, with both halves of a hyphenated surname, and with any misspelling that shows up on paperwork you already have. If he was sentenced and still isn’t listed, call the county jail and ask when he shipped out. SCI Greene at 169 Progress Drive answers at (724) 852-2902 and can tell you whether he’s been received in Waynesburg.

Q

Nothing comes up when I search his name. What do I do next?

Change the name before you change anything else: a middle name, both parts of a hyphenated surname, the misspelling that shows up on his court paperwork. If he still doesn't come up, he may be in county custody awaiting sentencing, already released, or held federally. SCI Greene at (724) 852-2902 can confirm whether he was ever received in Waynesburg.

Q

My result says Waynesburg. Is that the same as SCI Greene?

Yes. SCI Greene sits at 169 Progress Drive in Waynesburg, in Greene County, at the southwest corner of the state, so a result naming that town is the prison you're looking for. If the address on your paperwork reads differently, call (724) 852-2902 before you send anything.

Q

Can the search tell me if he works in the garment factory?

No. About 65 men at Greene sew jeans, coats, sweatshirts, and every staff and garrison hat worn across Pennsylvania's prisons, but job assignments stay out of the locator. Ask him on a call, or reach the prison at (724) 852-2902.

Q

Why doesn't Greene appear in records from the early 1990s?

Pennsylvania bought the land from the Greene County Redevelopment Authority in 1991 and dedicated the prison on November 9, 1993, but the first men didn't arrive until January 3, 1994. Anything before that date names whichever institution held him at the time.

Q

Someone was arrested this month. Why can't I find them?

SCI Greene receives men only after a state sentence, so nobody awaiting trial shows up in these records. The county that arrested him has him, and you'd check that county's own jail records instead of the state's.
