The mission of the Montour County Prison is to protect society by providing incarceration of adjudicated offenders and persons suspected of being offenders of the law as a deterrent to the commission of crime while providing a safe and secure environment for offenders and staff; offering programs for personal growth and development and positive reintroduction into society; and providing basic physical, medical and mental health needs while protecting the basic constitutional rights of the offenders.

Policy and procedures to address issues of this nature have been developed and implemented in accordance with the Federal Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) Standards. Employees and inmates' families may report incidents via email to tleffler@montourco.org or mail to: PREA Coordinator/Warden 255 Church St. Danville, Pa 17821
