How to Get Approved to Visit Someone at Saguaro Correctional Center
Getting approved to visit at Saguaro Correctional Center starts with information your loved one submits from inside. Give them the right details up front, and you can avoid delays and know what to expect while the background check runs.
What Inmate Must Submit
- ✓ Full legal name (for each visitor)
- ✓ Current address
- ✓ Phone number
- ✓ Social Security number
- ✓ Date of birth
- ✓ Remember the approved visitation list can include up to 10 total people, and that number includes both adults and minors
There are two limits to keep straight at Saguaro. Your loved one can have up to 10 visitors total on their approved visitation list, and that total includes minors. But even if more than six people are approved, only up to six can visit at the same time.
Minors get approved using the same process as adults. That means your loved one still needs to submit the required visitor details for each child they want to add, and each minor counts toward the 10-person maximum on the approved visitation list.
Once the inmate submits the visitation list, Saguaro Correctional Center sends it to the Hawaii Department of Public Safety for an NCIC background check. That's why the list asks for identifiers like Social Security number and date of birth. Small mistakes can slow things down, so double-check every visitor's information before your loved one turns the list in.
Note: If you are on active probation or parole, you must get written approval to visit Saguaro Correctional Center.
Expect the approval process to take about 2 to 4 weeks. During that time, the NCIC background check is being completed and the facility is waiting on results before clearing any visitor.
Don't expect a call or letter. Once visitors are approved, the inmate gets a signed copy of the approved visitation list, and it's on them to notify their visitors. Hold off on travel plans until your loved one confirms you're approved.
Not on the approved list? Your loved one will need to meet with their unit team to get you added. If you think you should already be listed, have them check their copy and follow up with the unit team about adding or correcting names.
