What the $25 Visitation Background Check Actually Costs (And How to Pay Less)
Applying to visit someone at ASPC Douglas Gila Unit? The $25 background check is real, required for most adult visitors, and non-refundable. It applies whether you're seeking in-person visits, phone privileges as a visitor, or video visits. The one exception: if you only want to receive phone calls from an inmate — without applying for visitation or video — you can skip the fee. Timing matters. Your background check payment and any supporting documents must arrive within 30 days of your application date. Miss that window, and your application is considered incomplete. It won't be processed. Waiting to pay doesn't just cost you $25 — it costs you time.

Visitation
Visiting someone at ASPC‑D Gila Unit starts with completing the electronic visitation application and submitting your supporting documents and payment. All adult applicants for in‑person, phone, or video visits must pass a criminal background check and pay a one‑time, non‑refundable $25 fee. If you're only accepting phone calls, you don't pay this fee. Payments are electronic only—you'll need your Application Visitor ID to pay through Keefe, JPay, or GTL. Transaction fees vary by provider and payment method. Get your documents and fee in within 30 days of your application date, or it'll be marked incomplete. Once everything's received, expect up to 60 days for processing. System changes can sometimes slow things down.
