We receive many e-mails from family members of inmates who are new receptions to the system and are worried about receiving phone calls from their loved ones. Due to the busy schedule involving inmate orientation, and multiple assessments/evaluations performed upon initial reception, it can be several weeks until an inmate can set up his telephone list and get it approved in order to make phone calls.

The vending machines located in the SCI Camp Hill visiting rooms will be changing to a cashless system Beginning May 15th 2013.
All vending machines will be equipped with card readers. Visitors will no longer be permitted to purchase food and beverages with cash.
To make a purchase from the vending machines, you will first need to purchase a reloadable cash card from the “cash to card” kiosk in the visitor processing area. There is a $1.25 cost for the card.
YOU WILL NEED A $5 BILL TO GET STARTED
Insert a $5 bill into the bill acceptor. Receive your card at the card dispenser. Your card is now worth $3.75.
To add more funds, insert your card into the card acceptor. You can now use $1, $5, $10, and $20 bills to load your card up to a $60 maximum.
Cards purchased at the Camp Hill location can only be utilized at this facility.
We are not responsible for lost or stolen cards. You can be refunded the balance on your card by mailing your card to CRH Catering 5970 Derry St Harrisburg, PA 17111
