Statewide rules that apply at every Arizona state prison

These rules are set by ADCRR and apply at every unit. The full list — including all permitted and prohibited items and the approval process — is in Visiting in Arizona.

Dress code

No clothing that is orange, camouflage, sheer, see-through, or open-net; no spandex-like material; and no medical scrubs.
Each complex and unit may add visiting dress and item rules (under Department Order 911), so confirm the specific unit's rules before traveling.

ID: Every visitor must submit an Application to Visit an Inmate and be approved before visiting — a background check applies, and supporting documents are due within about 30 days, so apply well ahead. Adult visitors show a valid government-issued photo ID. Do not apply while the person is still in intake at the Phoenix (Alhambra) or Perryville reception unit.
What to bring: Bring only what the unit allows — generally a photo ID and, where permitted, a small amount of money for vending in a clear container; phones, bags, and gifts are not allowed. Money for the person's account is sent through the ADCRR vendor, never handed over at a visit.
Scheduling: Visits are by appointment, and the days, hours, and contact or non-contact rules vary by complex, unit, and the person's custody level — confirm them with the specific unit. A newly committed person is held at a reception unit first — Alhambra at ASPC-Phoenix for men, ASPC-Perryville for women — before transfer.

Mail

Personal mail does not go to the prison. Since December 2025, Arizona routes incoming personal mail to an off-site Securus digital-mail center in Dallas, Texas, where it is scanned and delivered to the person’s tablet; address it to [person’s name and ADCRR number], P.O. Box 211309, Dallas, TX 75211. Legal mail, publications, and parcels still go directly to the facility. Because this is a privately operated unit, confirm the current mail process with the facility. Full rules are in Mail & Packages.
