How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
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.
Search for a loved one and send messages and photos in minutes.
Your first visit to Halawa goes smoother when you know two things: visits happen weekends only, and the facility rotates which housing module can visit each day. Use this checklist to avoid getting turned away and make the most of your time.
Halawa's visitation schedule trips people up because it rotates by housing module. Only one module gets visits on any given weekend day. Once you know how to confirm which module is up before you drive out, planning becomes much simpler.
Thirty minutes goes fast—especially your first time. Knowing the time limits and check-in cutoffs upfront helps you avoid surprises and make every minute count.
Call the local number after 6:30 a.m. on the day of your visit to confirm visitation will be held. Also confirm your inmate’s housing module is the one scheduled, since only one module visits on a given day.
You’ll be admitted only if you’re on the inmate’s approved visitor list. Each visit is limited to a maximum of one adult and one child.
If you check in after the posted cutoff for the first or second half, you’ll be denied entry. Arrive early and confirm the schedule the morning of your visit.
