About the SCI Forest State Penitentiary
Located at 153 Woodland Drive in Marienville, Pennsylvania, SCI Forest State Penitentiary is a state-run corrections facility that was established in response to the economic needs of the area. The institution, overseen by Deputy Superintendent Ian Gustafson and Deputy Superintendent John Blicha, offers a variety of services and programs for its inmate population.
With a 64-acre compound consisting of 26 buildings, including housing units, dining halls, a hospital, educational and religious facilities, and more, SCI Forest provides a secure and structured environment for its inmates. The institution also has recreational yards and individual recreation areas for each housing unit.
Accredited by the American Correctional Association in 2006, SCI Forest has maintained its accreditation status through successful reaccreditations every three years. The facility houses inmates of various ages, with an average age of 36.
One of the unique programs offered at SCI Forest is the Pups Assisting Wounded Soldiers (PAWS) program, where dogs from the Elk County Humane Society are socialized and trained by inmates. These dogs play a therapeutic role in the Special Needs Unit and the Psychology Department, and some may go on to provide support to veterans with traumatic brain injuries and PTSD through Wags 4 Warriors.
In addition to its inmate programs, SCI Forest also participates in community work initiatives, assisting local non-profit organizations and partnering with PennDOT for services such as mowing and painting. The institution values its role in the community and upholds the principles of tolerance and freedom, reflecting the spirit of Pennsylvania as the Keystone State.
