Our Unique Access
The Prison Society is the only organization in Pennsylvania with legal authority to enter any county jail or state prison. We are present in all 85 correctional facilities across the state.
This interactive map is a one-of-a-kind resource to keep communities informed about their local correctional facilities.
This tool provides updated information from our biannual county jail survey, covering all 62 county jails in Pennsylvania. You can access data on jail populations, staffing levels, visiting policies, medical copays, and more. We hope it empowers people to learn about a part of their local communities that is largely hidden from public view.
