This is the arresting facility where most new arrests are processed, and detainees are held until they attend their arraignment or are released. For those who are serving long sentences, a transfer is conducted to the local large maximum security location that is operated under the responsibility of the state.
This jail was opened in 1976 and has remained in operation since at 855 Rolling Meadows Road, in Waynesburg, PA.
The phone services are provided by Securus Tech that allows for friends and family to fund the accounts of inmates for phone calls through the website access of securustech.com. Phone calls are allowed by inmates to those who are listed on the approved phone list, and visits from those who are on their approved visitation list.
Money can be added to these accounts either online or through the kiosk that is located within the lobby of the jail itself.
Visits are provided via video link during the daytime hours, beginning at 8am and going until 11am then again 1pm until 4pm. Each visitor must be on the approved list the inmate has created and pass the check from the staff, with limitations being no one who is involved in the same case, no one who is considered a victim in any case relating to the inmate, or people who are currently incarcerated in other facilities or recently released from this one.
Inmates will provide the location of their housing and confirm visitation with their guests when they call during the week.
With a focus on equality for all inmates and helping inmates to leave with more skills and better prepared than when they arrived, the jail houses all inmates, both male and female, in a safe and secure manner.

Understanding the booking process at Greene County Prison
After an arrest, individuals are taken to Greene County Prison where they go through booking. This process includes identifying the person, reviewing charges, and determining whether they will be released on their own, eligible for bail, or detained until their court date.
It’s crucial to remain silent after being arrested. Anything said may be used in court, so it’s better to refrain from speaking until consulting with an attorney.
The following steps outline the booking procedure at Greene County Prison:
- Personal identification verification.
- Taking photographs (mugshots).
- Medical and mental health assessment, as well as inquiries about substance use.
- Possibly collecting DNA samples.
- Performing a full-body search.
- Seizing personal belongings for safekeeping.
- Allowing one phone call.
Booking can take from a short hour to longer periods, especially on busy nights or with uncooperative individuals. For inquiries about posting bond for an arrestee, call the facility at 724-627-7780.
Paying bail for someone in custody in Greene County
Once someone is booked at Greene County Prison in Waynesburg after an arrest, there are several outcomes:
1. They may be released without paying bail, agreeing to show up on a scheduled date.
2. They may remain in custody until their court appearance.
3. They can pay a bail or bond for release. Call 724-627-7780 for bail details.
Bail payments can take several forms.
- The full cash bond is paid at the jail's bonding window or at the clerk of court using cash, a cashier's check or a money order, while many jails add a card option at a lobby kiosk or through an online bond service for a fee; bring the inmate's full name and booking number, and call the jail at 724-627-7780 with questions.
- A licensed bail bond agent in Greene County can help cover bail.
- Many courts take real estate as security for a bond; the property owner must show clear title plus equity at least equal to the bond, often twice it, backed by a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value, and the court that set the bail gives final approval.

There are FOUR options for putting money on an inmate's books:
Option 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail

Option 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Greene 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.

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.

Call the Greene 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 payee the jail names (check with the jail first) and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order. Never mail cash or a personal check.
