Saguaro Corrections Facility, AZ

Visiting at Saguaro Correctional Facility starts before you arrive. All potential visitors must complete a visiting application and pass a background check, and the resident may need to add you to their visitor list first. If your loved one was just admitted, you'll have to wait—residents can't receive visitors while in reception or during diagnostic/classification processing. Schedules can shift for weather or emergencies, so confirm the day's hours with visiting staff or through the facility's resident/client search tool. Inside the visiting room, paper currency isn't allowed. Bring coins only in clear plastic bags, or use a debit/credit card for vending. Leave outside food (including gum and candy), pictures, oils (including religious oils), can openers, sunglasses, and documents at home.
