They accept people shortly after arrest and will process and book them, then hold them both while they await the arraignment as well as for serving their sentence at the end of a trial.
Diversity is a key part of the community and is seen in both inmates and the officers responsible for their care.
Staff are trained on de-escalation and other tactics that will improve the safety of each of the people involved, and programs are provided for ongoing training of all officers within the facility as well as programming to provide inmates with new skills, education opportunities, and even work experience.
Religious services are offered for those wanting to attend, as well as substance abuse treatments and meetings, educational classes, library services, life skills, a re-entry program to adjust after release, mental health programming, family classes, parenting classes, anger management, and much more.
Mail can be both received and sent by inmates, provided it meets the criteria provided. There must be a full return address, there may not be references to escape or other illegal activities within any letters or mail that is sent, and the inmate information must be clearly marked. To allow access to digital mail, messages, and images an account can be created. Books and magazines are only permitted when they are shipped from the publisher or bookstore only, and 4 are allowed each month.
In person visits are permitted during the weekdays. In order to visit, the inmate must include each of the people that they expect to visit and are willing to accept visits from, and those people are permitted to schedule visits during the approved hours for that housing block.
Each inmate has one hour of in-person visitation per week, and one remote video visit per week.
Visits are booked by creating a user profile on the app for the jail, delawarecountypa.gtlvisitme.com/app and then selecting the inmate you wish to visit, which will provide a list of their approved visiting hours.
The inmate visitation schedule changes often, however you can review the current one online.
To find out if someone you know has been recently arrested and booked into the George W. Hill Correctional Facility, call the jail’s booking line at 610-361-3200.
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.
George W. Hill Correctional Facility 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 Delaware 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 Delaware 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 George W. Hill Correctional Facility 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.
