Located at 175 Progress Dr in Waynesburg, PA, SCI Greene carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. SCI Greene offers diverse educational and vocational programs aimed at equipping offenders for successful reintegration into society and reducing recidivism. Through these initiatives, inmates gain skills and confidence, fostering personal growth and resilience.

The State Correctional Institution at Greene initiated property negotiations with the Greene County Redevelopment Authority in November 1990, acquiring a 128-acre site known as the Allison Tract in Waynesburg, PA. The institution's lease was signed in May 1991 with groundbreaking taking place on October 29, 1991. The facility was dedicated on November 9, 1993, and began housing inmates on January 3, 1994, reaching full capacity by May 3, 1995. Construction concluded in March 1999, adding two new housing units within the perimeter: Unit K for inmates with mental health needs and Unit L for Level 5 inmates.

Covering 44 acres within the perimeter and 84 acres outside, SCI Greene comprises 33 operational structures, including 11 housing units featuring both cell and dormitory-style accommodations. Special features include a Residential Treatment Unit (RTU), Step-Down Unit (SDU), Secure Residential Treatment Unit (SRTU), Diversionary Treatment Unit (DTU), Management Control Unit (MCU), and a Long-Term Restricted Housing Unit.

With a staff of 691 full-time employees, the institution offers academic education up to the GED and Commonwealth Secondary Diploma (CSD) levels, along with vocational education in carpentry, business, HVAC, and more, all providing industry-recognized certifications. Inmate programs encompass family and relationship support, sex offender treatment, re-entry services, substance abuse therapy, offense-related interventions, and various mental health programs.

The facility also offers video visitation to enhance parenting skills and maintain family connections. Correctional Industries operates a garment factory employing 60 inmates and three staff members, producing items such as denim clothing and staff hats. Moreover, the Community Work Program provided 5,680 hours of community service, with projects ranging from maintenance services and painting for churches and volunteer fire departments to litter clean-up in collaboration with PENN DOT and assisting non-profit agencies in Greene, Washington, and Fayette Counties.
