How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Most adult visitors at ASPC‑Cerbat (Kingman Cerbat Unit) need to complete a visitation application and pay a one-time, non-refundable $25 background check fee before approval for in-person, phone, or video visits. Want phone-call privileges only? You can skip the $25 fee, but you'll still need to apply through the regular process. Background-check payments must be made electronically—have your Application Visitor ID ready when you pay. Friends and family can pay through any supported vendor via storefront, phone, mobile app, or internet. Internet transaction fees vary: Keefe charges no fee, JPay adds $0.95, GTL CheckFreePay costs $1.00, and GTL Western Union runs $1.00. Submit your fees and supporting documents within 30 days, then allow up to 60 days for processing. One important note: don't apply while the inmate is in intake at Alhambra or Perryville.
