Statewide rules that apply at HI DCR facilities

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

Dress code

Dress modestly — Hawaii facilities enforce a visiting dress code that bars revealing, sheer, or provocative clothing, beachwear, and anything resembling what inmates or staff wear; closed-toe footwear is expected.
Each facility sets and enforces its own specifics and may turn a visitor away for dressing out of code, and electronics are not allowed inside, so confirm the dress code with the facility before traveling.

ID: Every visitor must be on the inmate's approved visitor list before visiting — the inmate submits the proposed list, DCR runs a background check, and the facility approves or denies. Bring a government-issued photo ID to each visit.
What to bring: Bring only what the facility allows — most personal items are not permitted in the visiting room. Money for an inmate's account at an in-state facility is sent through GTL / ViaPath ConnectNetwork, never handed over at a visit; the Saguaro prison in Arizona uses a separate money process.
Scheduling: Hawaii has no statewide online scheduler — each facility sets its own visiting days and hours and runs its own visitation hotline, so confirm with the specific facility. Video visits are available through tablets at the in-state facilities. The neighbor-island facilities (on Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island) are reachable from Oahu mainly by air. The roughly 800 men held at the Saguaro Correctional Center in Arizona visit on that prison's schedule, with video booked through the state's mainland branch. Women are held at the Women's Community Correctional Center (Kailua).

Overview

Maui Community Correctional Center is a jail operated by the Hawaii Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (DCR). It is in Wailuku, the seat of Maui County. The facility holds both pretrial (unsentenced) and sentenced people, men and women, on a campus of roughly seven acres.

Hawaii runs a unified corrections system: the state operates both jail and prison functions because Hawaii has no county jails. The four Community Correctional Centers, including MCCC, primarily hold people awaiting trial and people serving short sentences, and they also hold some sentenced people in work-furlough and reintegration roles. Because it is mainly a jail, a person’s custody status and the facility holding them can change over time, so families confirm the current location on VINELink before a visit.

What Makes the Maui Community Correctional Center Different

MCCC is the jail for the island of Maui. Newly arrested people from Maui County are booked here, and the facility holds a mix of pretrial people and people serving sentences. It offers a drug-court program, work furlough, education, and treatment programs.

Its island location is a practical visiting factor. MCCC is on Maui, while most of Hawaii’s other correctional facilities are on Oahu. Reaching MCCC from Oahu or another island requires inter-island air travel. For families who cannot travel to Maui, video visits through the facility’s tablets are the practical remote option.

Visiting

The statewide DCR rules above — the approved-visitor-list process, the dress code, ID, and item limits — apply at MCCC. The facility’s own arrangements:

Getting There and Parking

Maui Community Correctional Center is at 600 Waiale Drive in Wailuku, Maui County. Wailuku is in central Maui, near Kahului and Kahului Airport, which offers commercial air service. Travelers from Oahu or another Hawaiian island reach Maui by inter-island flight; there is no road or ferry connection between the islands.

Confirm current entry procedures, the visitor check-in location, and what may be brought onto the grounds with the facility before arriving, because electronic devices and most personal items are not permitted inside the visiting area.

Mail

Hawaii does not use an off-site mail vendor for its in-state facilities. Incoming personal mail goes directly to MCCC, where staff open and inspect it before delivery. Address personal mail with the person’s full name and inmate number, the facility name, and the facility’s address:

[Inmate’s full name and number] Maui Community Correctional Center 600 Waiale Drive Wailuku, HI 96793

There is no limit on the volume of letters. Envelopes are rejected for problems such as a missing sender name and return address, or for stickers, ink stamps, glitter, glue, drawings, bookmarks, or lipstick or kiss marks. Books, magazines, and other publications must be sent directly from the publisher or an approved vendor, and the person must submit a request form; personal book mailings, food, and packages are not accepted. Legal and other privileged mail is handled separately. Confirm the current mailing format and rules with the facility before sending anything.
