Work Release Program
The Blair County Prison presently operates a selective, yet progressive work release program. Through this program, an inmate is permitted to leave the prison to engage in gainful employment in the community. The inmate returns to the prison immediately following completion of work and subsequently remains there during all non-working hours. In addition to the rehabilitative benefits derived from participation in the work release program, the inmate involved is able to assume his/her financial responsibilities, such as court costs, support, payment for room and board and other legitimate debts. It is through the work release program that the inmate thus begins the readjustment to the demanding responsibilities of community life. For more information and guidelines about the work release program, please contact Abbie Tate, Work Release Coordinator. 814-693-3155, ext. 204, Atate@blairco.org
