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.
The approval process starts with the inmate, not you. Your loved one needs to submit a visiting list that includes your full name, address, phone number, Social Security number, and date of birth. Once submitted, the facility sends the list to the Hawaii Department of Public Safety for an NCIC background check. Hawaii DPS returns the results to Saguaro's Security office, where your approval gets decided.
