A medium-custody men's prison in Eloy, operated by CoreCivic under contract with the state — it holds Arizona state inmates and follows ADCRR's statewide rules.

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.

Box 211309, Dallas, TX 75211. Legal mail, publications, and parcels still go directly to the facility. Full rules are in Mail & Packages.
