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.

What should you know about the booking process at Greene County Prison?
Once arrested, the person is taken to Greene County Prison for booking, a process that confirms identity, assesses charges, and determines if they will be released on their own recognizance, posted for bail, or held until court.
Staying silent is key during this process, as anything spoken can be used as evidence in court. It’s best to wait for legal counsel before responding to questions.
Steps involved in booking at Greene County Prison include:
- Confirming identity.
- Taking mugshots for record.
- Medical, mental health, and substance history questioning.
- DNA collection if applicable.
- Comprehensive physical search.
- Seizing personal property.
- Access to a free phone call.
To check on an offender’s bond amount, contact Greene County Prison at 724-627-7780.
Steps to pay bail in Greene County
After an arrest, individuals are brought to Greene County Prison in Waynesburg for processing. Following this, three possible outcomes exist:
1. The individual may be released without posting bail, with a promise to appear in court.
2. The individual could be held in jail until their court date.
3. Bail or bond can be posted for release; for more information, contact 724-627-7780.
Bail payment can be handled through various means.
- Pay a cash bond in full at the bonding window inside the jail or at the clerk of court, by cash, cashier's check or money order; a lobby kiosk or online bond vendor often takes debit and credit cards for an extra fee, and you should bring the inmate's full name and booking number (the jail can be reached at 724-627-7780).
- Licensed bail bond agents in Greene County are available for assistance.
- Land or a home can often serve as bond collateral: the owner provides a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value showing clear title and equity of at least the bond amount, commonly double, and the court that set bail approves the pledge.

CIDNET Video Visitation allows families to conduct live, face-to-face video visits with incarcerated loved ones from home. Using an internet-connected smartphone, tablet, or personal computer equipped with a webcam, visitors connect directly through housing-unit video stations or handheld tablets without traveling to the facility or waiting in jail visitor lobbies.
Important: Advance Registration and Visitor Clearance Required
Detention centers do not permit unscheduled or unverified video sessions. Correctional facilities require prospective visitors to submit government-issued photo identification and receive administrative clearance before booking an appointment, an approval process that can take up to 48 hours depending on facility staffing. You should verify your visitor approval status with the facility prior to scheduling. If you do not register well in advance, you will miss your loved one's scheduled visiting window for the week.
Step-by-Step Instructions to Register and Schedule a Video Visit
- Visit customer.cidnet.net or launch the CIDNET app.
- Register your visitor profile and upload a clear photograph of your government-issued ID and a verification photo.
- Wait for email notification confirming institutional visitor approval.
- Ensure your account has sufficient Data Points to cover the duration of the visit.
- Select Video Visitation, select the detention facility, and pick an available calendar time slot.
- Log into the website or mobile app 10 minutes prior to the start time on a device with a functioning camera, microphone, and stable high-speed internet connection.
What the Inmate Needs to Do
The inmate receives a schedule notification on their housing unit video kiosk or tablet. At the appointed time, they log in with their PIN and sit before the screen. Inmates and visitors must strictly observe jail dress and conduct rules; sessions are monitored by staff and will terminate immediately upon any violation.

There are FOUR options for putting money on an inmate's books:
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
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.
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 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.
