How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
General population visitation at ASPC-Yuma's Cibola Unit runs on Saturdays, Sundays, and posted holidays in two blocks: 8:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. and 12:00 p.m.–4:00 p.m. You'll need approval before you can visit. In Arizona, that typically means a background check and an electronic application, so follow the facility's application steps and ID checklist closely. Don't submit a visitation application while the inmate is still in the intake process at Alhambra or Perryville. Once any required payment and supporting documents are received, expect up to 60 days for processing. Before you travel, call (928) 627-8871 ext. 17224 to confirm hours and requirements.

Want to visit an incarcerated person as an adult? Whether you're applying for in-person visits, phone visits, or video visits, you'll need to pay a one-time, non-refundable $25 background check fee (required under Department Order 911). That $25 is just the base cost. The part that catches people off guard? How you pay can add extra transaction fees on top.
Visitation applications get stalled for simple reasons: a wrong fee, missing documents, or bad timing. Here's how the $25 background check fee works, what vendor fees to expect, and the timelines that matter so your application actually gets processed.
