ASPC-Y DAKOTA II

Visiting at ASPC-Y Dakota Unit (Dakota II) takes a little planning, but the schedule is straightforward once you know it. General population visits are held on Saturdays, Sundays, and posted holidays in two daily blocks: 8:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. and 12:00 p.m.–4:00 p.m. How long you can stay depends on the incarcerated person's phase level, so visit time varies from one person to the next. You'll need to be approved before you visit. In Arizona, that typically means the incarcerated person adds you to their visitor list, and you complete an electronic application along with any required background check. Rules can vary by unit, so bring a valid government photo ID and confirm details before you travel. For questions, call (928) 627-8871 ext. 16926.

Adding money for an inmate at ASPC-Y DAKOTA II is typically done through approved third-party vendors that handle commissary or phone account deposits. Online and phone payments usually post quickly. Common options include a vendor online portal, a mobile app, a phone payment line, or an on-site kiosk in the facility lobby (if available). Arizona state prisons (ADCRR) generally do not accept personal checks, money orders, or cashier's checks for inmate account deposits, though rules can differ outside the state prison system or for special programs. When making a deposit, you'll need the inmate's identifier (such as a commissary/PIN or booking number) and accurate payment details. Follow the facility's exact instructions to avoid delays or returned funds.
