Inmate Visitation Application

There are two links available for submission of applications listed below:

  1. On-Line Application: For potential visitors and those persons only receiving calls from inmates who wish to submit their application electronically, once the application is completed and submitted, the visitor or a potential call recipient will not be able to apply for the same inmate for a period of 90 days. If you decide to pay by Western Union the Code City is AZVISITORBACK AZ.

  2. Printed Application: For potential visitors or a potential call recipient who do not wish to submit their application on-line, they may complete the application form, print it, and mail it directly to the Unit Visitation Office where the inmate is currently assigned. You are not to submit an application while the inmate is in the intake process at Alhambra. The envelope must clearly read "Attention Visitation Officer". If payment is enclosed with the application, the envelope must clearly read "Attention Visitation Officer - Background Check Fee". Do not mail the application directly to the inmate; we must receive it from you or it will be voided.

Note: In both instances it is critical that all information fields and both sides are completed prior to submitting the form. By completing and submitting this form, you are attesting to the truthfulness and accuracy of the information. Criminal background checks are conducted on all persons applying for visitation or phone call privileges.

 

All adult visitors applying on or after July 20, 2011 must pay a one time, non-refundable, $25.00 background check fee in accordance with Department Order 911. Those persons wishing to accept phone calls from inmates and will not be visiting in-person must apply for phone privileges utilizing the regular application process. Please refer to the "Need Help" link or Department Order 911 for a complete list of those persons that are exempt from the background check fee when applying for visitation or phone call privileges.

 

Properly completed visitation applications shall be processed and approved or denied within 60 days of receipt of the application, and verified payment if applicable.

 

It is recommended all visitors read Department Order 911.

 

At this time, payments can be made at a Western Union counter, by phone, or via www.westernunion.com. If you choose to submit your application using one of these methods, please wait for at least two hours to ensure you receive proper credit for your payment.
