If the person has been sentenced to state prison, use the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections inmate locator.
Visitation
Visitation follows the rules of the out-of-county prison where the person is housed. After you confirm the facility, contact it directly for visitor registration, schedules and ID requirements.
Bail and bond
Bail in Cameron County cases is set by the local magisterial district judge or the Court of Common Pleas. Contact the Cameron County Clerk of Courts in Emporium to confirm the bail amount and how to post it.
Mail and money
Mail and money go to the facility actually holding the inmate, not to the Cameron County Courthouse. Confirm the facility's mailing address and approved deposit methods with that facility.
