The McKean County Prison is situated in Smethport, Pennsylvania. The McKean County Sheriff’s Office is the law enforcement agency responsible for overseeing the day to day operations of the McKean County Prison.

Inmates in the McKean County Prison will have the chance to send and receive letters from their loved ones, call their loved ones, and visit with their loved ones.

The facility houses both adult female and adult male inmates. The McKean County Prison is a medium-security facility. The facility does not house any juvenile inmates.

This means that Pennsylvania is the single only state that will elect their jailer the same way as the state elects their sheriff and other various officials. One fun fact about the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is nearly the only single state in the union that will elect their County Jailer as the bi-partisan constitutional officer.

They do release inmates after they posted bond, was put on probation or finished their sentence. The McKean County Prison takes in new inmates every day.
