How to Schedule and Prepare for a Visit at Oahu Community Correctional Center (OCCC)

OCCC offers visiting hours seven days a week, 7:30 AM to 12:30 PM. No visits on State holidays. Planning around a holiday weekend? Call ahead to confirm before making the trip.

Call (808) 832-1633 to schedule your visit. Phone scheduling runs Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM - try calling early in that window if you can. Once you've locked in a time, treat it like an appointment. Your check-in timing matters.

Arrive and check in at least 15 minutes before your scheduled visit. Show up too close to start time and you risk missing the cutoff - which means losing the visit entirely.

Visits at OCCC last 30 minutes and are non-contact. You'll be separated by a barrier - no sitting together, no hugs. If you're bringing kids or this is your first visit, knowing that ahead of time helps set expectations.

The visitation area gets sanitized between sessions. This cleaning can affect the flow from one visit to the next, so stick closely to your scheduled time and give yourself some breathing room.
