Arizona Department of Corrections: What Families Need to Know (2026)
Planning a visit to an Arizona prison takes a little patience, and the guide lays out exactly why. The Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry lists 15 prisons, nine state-run and six contract facilities, and becoming a visitor begins with the ADCRR Application to Visit, which carries a $25 background fee and takes about 60 days to process. Visiting days and hours are not printed as one statewide list; instead they are posted per unit as 2026 calendars on the ADCRR Schedule In-Person/Video Visitation page, so the right calendar depends on the unit your loved one is in. The guide gives each prison's address and warden's office phone number, from ASPC-Douglas and ASPC-Eyman to ASPC-Perryville, the women's prison, and the contract facilities at Florence, Kingman, and Eloy. For the contract prisons where no facility phone is published, the guide points you to ADCRR headquarters at (602) 542-5497. Director Ryan Thornell, Ph.D., leads the department, whose central office is at 701 E. Jefferson St., Phoenix, AZ 85034. Schedules change, so the guide's steady advice is to call the facility and confirm before traveling.
