Erie County Prison is a large brick structure within a fenced off area that looks imposing and demanding. It is located in Erie, PA, and houses over 700 inmates at any time. It opened in early 1980, and regular wear and tear since then has left it looking less than new, but still with strong security in place and updates as needed.
The sheriff for Erie County is responsible for the daily operations of the facility and uses it for bookings of newly arrested individuals as well as serving sentences after the trial has been completed. After an arrest and the first steps are completed, inmates who will be remaining in the facility for any length of time will be asked to create a list of people they want to call and those who they will want to have as visitors. These lists will be approved, and outgoing phone calls are permitted to those on the list, and the visitors who are approved will be permitted to schedule visits with that inmate.
Friends and family can add funds to the account of an inmate using the jailatm.com system, either online or at the kiosk located within the lobby of the prison, and this will serve their needs while incarcerated. Meals are provided, but additional snacks are purchased through the commissary. Through the system of securustech.net, inmates will have access to both phones for outgoing calls as well as to tablets that allow for direct communication. These tables can be used for listening to music, sending and receiving text like messages, receiving images and photographs, and more. Recent updates allow inmates to receive messages from friends and family almost any time, without a schedule or appointment. Securus Technologies also operates the phone system allowing funds to be accessed for both. Visiting hours are provided each day for a different housing unit, with hours beginning at 7:30 and end at 9:30 with set times for each section of the pod for that day, requiring direct contact with the prison or scheduling system to choose the right time and day. Sunday is C pod, Mondays is D pod, Tuesdays is F pod, E 1 and E 2 as well as special housing. Wednesday sees G pod having visits, and Thursday is for J pod. Exact times and full schedule can be found in the next sections.
If you any more questions, scroll down as each section covers these inmate services in detail. If you still aren't sure about something, call the Erie County Prison at 814-451-7500.
To find out if someone you know has been recently arrested and booked into the Erie County Prison, call the jail’s booking line at 814-451-7500.
There may be an automated method of looking them up by their name over the phone, or you may be directed to speak to someone at the jail. Sometimes the jail staff may ask you the offender’s date of birth to ensure privacy of the offender’s status.
Keep in mind that after an arrest, the information on an offender may not be publicly available for several hours.
If you don’t want to check up on an offender by calling the jail, you can also try looking up people recently booked online.
Erie County Prison Booking Roster
After being arrested and taken into custody, and after being read their Miranda Rights, an offender will next be transported to the local police or department or the Sheriff’s Department in Erie County for booking.
Booking is very involved and requires multiple steps in the process, however, keep in mind that most attorneys will advise that an offender remain silent and not offer any additional information about the crime they have been arrested for because anything they do say may be recorded and may very well be used against them in court.
Booking includes having their photo (mugshot) and fingerprints taken, as well as being asked a lot of questions about their personal history and state of mind. If it’s a serious felony, their DNA may also be taken. They will also be checked for warrants in Erie County and other Pennsylvania and USA jurisdictions.
If the offender was arrested for a DUI offense, and has refused a breathalyzer test, they may also be forced to have blood drawn by a doctor or nurse.
It is also very likely that the offender will undergo a humiliating full body search while in the nude. This includes bending over, spreading their cheeks in the direction of an officer, and coughing. They will also be walked through a metal detector or x-ray machine, like those used at an airport.
The arresting jurisdiction will ask about gang affiliations, tattoos, medical conditions, prescribed medication they are taking, recreational drugs they are on or addicted to, allergies, if they are suicidal, and other relevant information that will help with determining their cell assignment and special needs.
During the arrest and booking process an offender will also have all their personal property confiscated and held for either their release from jail, or with the offender’s approval, released to a friend or family member.
Personal property includes the clothing they are wearing, money, wallets, purses, cell phones, jewelry, body rings, earrings, watches, and even glasses if they are deemed a security risk. If they are allowed to keep their shoes or sneakers, the laces are removed.
At this point the offender will be allowed to make a free phone call to a person of their choice to notify them of their arrest, and/or arrange a bond or bail for their release.
If the offender is being detained and housed while awaiting arraignment, the Erie County Prison will provide a jail garment and slip-on shoes, a blanket, sheets, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, and a towel.
Often, before they are dressed in the jail outfit and brought to their housing location, they will be forced to take a shower and undergo a disinfectant treatment for body and hair lice, scabies or other pests that may be residing on their person.
Booking can take anywhere from an hour to 24 hours or more. It all depends on the number of people that are awaiting processing, the number of staff on duty at the time, and the behavior of the offender.
If the offender is heavily intoxicated and/or violent, the Booking Officer may decide to stick the offender in a holding cell for several hours until they become more manageable.
You can submit electronic bail payments on Magisterial District Court and Common Pleas Court cases for inmates in Erie County Prison. This website has been approved by the Unified Judicial System of Pennsylvania

Video Visitation allows 'approved' friends, family members, attorneys and clergy of an inmate to connect with them using their computer, Securus Video Visitation app, or ‘on-site’ kiosk.
Steps:
Register and/or log in.
Select the facility of your inmate.
Review the days, available hours and the cost of remote and on-site visits.
Schedule your visit.
What is the Cost of a Remote Video Visit?
Costs vary and are subject to change, but generally visits range from $5.00 to $15.00 for a 15 to 30 minute online or on-site video visit.
How do you know if your Inmate will be available during the time you schedule?
The Securus system knows the times that Erie County Prison inmates are available for remote video visits.
It will not allow you to schedule a visit with your inmate if they are not available or the video visitation kiosk(s) in the jail are booked already.
Once you schedule a visit with your inmate they will be notified of the date and time of the visit.
Important Tips:
Your entire visit is being monitored and recorded. Do not say or do anything that you would not want being replayed in court.
You should schedule your visit, in advance, at a time that works best for you.
For best sound quality, use earbuds or headsets.

Option 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail
Bring money to the jail in person.
Either the jail personnel will process the Inmate Account payment or you will use a Jail ATM self-serve kiosk in the lobbies that accepts cash, debit or credit cards.
Option 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Erie County Prison uses Jail ATM to process all online deposits to an inmate's account. The company charges you a small fee for doing so, but the fee probably isn't as much as gas and parking would cost to take it to the jail in person.
Option 3 - Mail the Inmate Deposit to the Jail
Mailing a deposit takes more time to process than the other methods but can be done if you live too far away to bring it in person and you don't have a debit/credit card for online deposits. Never send cash. Always send a Money Order from the US Post Office, a reputable bank or Western Union. Call the Erie County Prison first as they may want you to do this online or at the jail kiosk instead.
Make the Money Order out to the inmate's name and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order.
