ASPC Tucson, Santa Rita Unit, AZ

Santa Rita Unit posts an official 2026 visitation calendar to help you plan ahead. Before you can visit in person, by phone, or video, you'll need to submit an electronic application and pay a one-time, non-refundable $25 background check fee. Only want to accept phone calls?

All payments must be made electronically using your Application Visitor ID through Keefe, JPay, or GTL. Transaction fees vary by vendor and payment method. Expect up to 60 days for processing after payment and documents are received.
