Visitation
Visitation at Halawa Correctional Facility happens on weekends only—Saturday and Sunday. Only one housing module is scheduled for visits on any given day, so confirm your loved one's module is up before making the trip. Visits are strictly 30 minutes, and each visiting party is limited to one adult and one child. Everyone entering must be on the inmate's approved visitor list. Check-in times matter: arrive late for the posted cutoff and you'll be turned away. Visit stalls are sanitized between groups. I recommend calling the local number after 6:30 a.m. on the day of your visit to confirm visitation is happening.
