The State Correctional Institution at Fayette is a 2,000 bed maximum-security prison for men located in a remote section of Fayette County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. The prison is located southeast of Pittsburgh and was built to replace two institutions (SCI-Waynesburg and SCI-Pittsburgh)
to make the Commonwealth's prison system more energy-efficient. It is the only prison in the Commonwealth where Pennsylvania license plates are manufactured, holding that distinction since 2003. In December 2025, Fayette held 2,032 inmates against a public capacity of 2,372 individuals, or 85.7%.
