The low concrete building located at 300 Church Street in Huntingdon, PA, houses the Huntingdon County Prison. This facility offers an online look up of all inmates that are within the facility and is easily accessed by the public. Along with this is the VINELink program that offers to notify all family, friends, victims, and concerned law enforcement with updates to the location and charges of offenders.
Within this facility there are beds for 48 people who are awaiting arraignment or court dates. As a smaller facility it does not maintain long sentences and maximum security inmates will be transferred to the larger facility nearby.
While they are incarcerated at this facility inmates may make outgoing phone calls during the daytime hours, and will have access to phones, and are able to both receive and send mail that falls within the rules that have been created for mail communications. Both phone calls and any commissary accounts are accessed through the online systems, and money can be added through the kiosk in the facility.
When an inmate is transferred, the personal belongings, they had with them when they were arrested along with their one set of clothing will be transferred with them or can be released to a friend or family member they have designated for that purpose.
Visiting hours are held between 8:15 am and 4:00 pm Tuesday through Sunday, for both male and female inmates, and they are conducted online via a visitation video system. All visitors must be included on the approved visitation list that has been created by the inmate, but they can be refused at any time by the inmate or by the jail removing the privilege for bad behavior.
Inmates are permitted one hourly visit two times a week.
Visitation will be held from 9:30a.m. to 11:30 a.m., 1:00 p.m to 4:00 p.m. , 6:00 p.m. To 9:00 p.m.

After being arrested, the offender is brought to the Huntingdon County Prison for booking, which is the detailed process of identifying, classifying, deciding on charges, and whether the person will either be released on their own recognizance, allowed to be released on bail, or moved into the jail until their court date.
The first thing every newly arrested person must do is close their mouth. Everything an offender says may be used against them, so the best thing to do is remain silent when questioned about the arrest and what led to it.
These are the steps of booking someone into the Huntingdon County Prison:
Booking can take as little as an hour, or up to 48 hours on a busy weekend or holiday evening, or if the offender is violent, wasted or generally uncooperative. If you have any questions about when you can pay an offender's bond and what the cost will be, call the facility at 814-643-2490.
When an offender is arrested and brought to the Huntingdon County Prison in Huntingdon for booking, there are several outcomes after being processed.
1. The offender will be released with no bail, promising to return on a specific date to appear before a judge in either Municipal or Huntingdon County Court.
2. The offender is ordered to remain in jail until their court date.
3. The offender is allowed to be released after paying a specified bond or bail. Call 814-643-2490 to get the exact amount.
The payment of an offender's bail or bond can take many shapes.
