SCI Waymart
P.O. Box 256, Route #6
Waymart, PA 18472

SCI Waymart is located in a building
complex that was formerly part of Farview State Hospital. Pressed into
operation ahead of schedule following the 1989 Camp Hill riot, the
joint on-site operation of a state prison and state mental health
facility was unique. In October 1995, Farview State Hospital was
transferred from the Department of Public Welfare to the Department of
Corrections. Now known as the department's Forensic Treatment Unit, the
unit houses mentally disabled male inmates who require inpatient
psychiatric care and treatment. The institution also houses
minimum-security inmates. |

upon leaving the institution, you may be detained until the appropriate
law enforcement authorities arrive.
Cameras, tape recorders, radios and handbags are not permitted in the visiting area.
Visits
are a minimum of one hour in length; however, this may be increased
depending upon the number of visits occurring that day.
Inmates placed in disciplinary custody status may have their visiting privileges restricted.
Please
use good judgment and discretion in dress and behavior so as not to
embarrass others or yourself in the visiting area. Keep children under
control. Failure to do so may result in early termination of your

regulations or posted regulations may result in the suspension of
visiting privileges.
