Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at State Correctional Institution Greene
Members of the public can look up a person held here through the official inmate search link available on this page, which connects to the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections inmate locator. State inmate records typically list the person’s name, inmate number, facility location, sentence or custody information, and current status; local booking details such as booking date or charges may be more limited for state prisoners. Records may take several hours or longer to appear after intake, transfer, or processing, so a newly admitted inmate may not show immediately. If the person was just arrested in Greene County, also check the appropriate county jail or court records before searching state prison records.
