ASPC-Y DAKOTA II

To visit at ASPC‑Y Dakota II, submit the electronic Application to Visit an Inmate. Fill out every field and confirm the information is accurate before submitting. ADCRR runs criminal background checks on all adult visitors requesting in-person, phone, or video privileges—you'll pay a one-time, non-refundable $25 background-check fee. If you only want phone calls, you still need to apply but skip the fee. Fees (if required) and supporting documents must arrive within 30 days of your application date, or it won't be processed. After payment and documents are received, expect up to 60 days for processing—system changes may add delays. Pay fees electronically through Keefe, JPay, or GTL (transaction fees vary). Don't apply while the inmate is in intake at Alhambra or Perryville. Questions about this unit? Email yuma.dak.east.vidvis@azadc.gov.

Communication with someone at ASPC‑Y Dakota II starts with approval. Even if you only want to receive phone calls—no visits—you must complete the Application to Visit electronically. ADCRR runs criminal background checks on all applicants. One important note: don't submit your application while the inmate is in intake at Alhambra or Perryville. If you need to pay a visitation background fee, you can do it electronically through Keefe, JPay, or GTL using storefront/walk-up, phone, mobile app, or their websites. For phone, video, and messaging services, Arizona facilities typically use third-party vendor platforms. Create an account, add funds or credits, then schedule visits or send messages through that system.

After Dec 15, 2025, personal correspondence for ASPC‑Y Dakota must go to the Digital Processing Center (PO Box 211309, Dallas, TX 75211).

There's a Dec 15–Jan 15 grace period for misaddressed items during the transition.

Adding funds for someone at ASPC‑Y Dakota II? Plan on using electronic options. ADCRR does not accept personal checks, money orders, or cashier's checks for deposits to inmate accounts at Arizona State Complexes. Most deposits go through approved third-party vendors or facility portals—via website, phone, mobile app, or an on-site kiosk. Enter the inmate identifier exactly as shown in records to avoid delays or misposts. Arizona facilities use vendor networks like Keefe, JPay, and GTL for electronic payments (including some background-fee payments), and fees vary by vendor and method.
