SCI Fayette, a maximum-security state prison, houses approximately 2,050 inmates across 11 housing units, comprising both multiple occupancy cells and dormitories. Engaging in the Correctional Industries program, the facility employs inmates in a license plate factory that produces plates utilized throughout the state. Additionally, its metal factory manufactures furniture used within prison cells. Inmate labor is also integral to the community work program, involving landscaping for government agencies, cemeteries, and parks, as well as assisting in the loading and unloading of trucks for local food banks and roadside litter cleanup.
Spanning 53 acres within the perimeter and 205 acres outside, SCI Fayette features 36 operational structures, including one Special Needs Unit and one Special Management Unit. In terms of education, the facility offers academic programs ranging from adult basic education to GED preparation, alongside vocational training in HVAC, business education, computer-aided design, carpentry, welding, cosmetology, custodial maintenance, and electricity, with certifications available upon completion.
Inmate programs address various needs, including family and relationship support, sex offender treatment, re-entry preparation, substance use disorder therapy, mental health services, and programs focusing on offense-related behavior. These programs aim to facilitate rehabilitation and reduce recidivism rates.
Within Correctional Industries, the License Plate Factory produces aluminum plates for PennDOT and organizational plates for various state agencies, while the Metal Factory manufactures furniture and security products used within the prison system. These goods are supplied to state entities such as the Department of Corrections and the Pennsylvania State Police.
Furthermore, the Community Work Program contributes to local communities by assisting food banks with unloading and distributing supplies, maintaining churches, legions, and community centers, and conducting roadside cleanup efforts. Through these initiatives, SCI Fayette not only provides opportunities for inmate skill development and rehabilitation but also contributes positively to the broader community.
SCI Fayette maintains a database of current inmates and their locations within the system. To locate an inmate, begin by using the DOC locator tool, which requires entering the first three letters of the inmate's first and last name, allowing for variations in spelling.
