Medical Conditions and Metal Detectors at Saguaro: What Documentation You Need
If you have a pacemaker, metal implants, or another condition that makes walking through a standard metal detector unsafe or impossible, you'll need to plan ahead before visiting Saguaro Correctional Center. Getting in depends on having the right medical documentation with you at check-in.
You'll need a medical exemption if you have a condition that prevents you from clearing a metal detector. Saguaro Correctional Center specifically mentions pacemakers and metal in the body as examples. If either applies to you, bring written documentation from your medical provider. Without it, you won't be allowed in.
You need a written letter from your medical provider stating that your condition prevents you from going through metal detector screening. Bring this documentation with you every time you visit. Saguaro Correctional Center requires it at check-in, and staff won't make exceptions if you show up without it.
Other Security Steps
- ✓ Be ready for random vehicle searches. If you refuse to be searched, you will not be allowed on facility grounds.
- ✓ Upon entry, remove your shoes and belt.
- ✓ Clear the metal detector before entering the visitation area.
- Get a written note from your medical provider: Saguaro requires written communication stating your condition restricts you from being subjected to metal detector clearance.
- Print it and bring it with you: Have the documentation in hand when you arrive so you can provide it during entry.

Reminder: No documentation, no entry. If you can't clear the metal detector due to a medical condition, bring written proof from your medical provider every time you visit.
