The Phoenix Complex is a unique facility within the Department. Four of its units are
on the grounds of the Arizona State Hospital and leased through the Department of
Health Services. They are Alhambra Reception and Treatment Center, which opened in 1979,
and handles all incoming male inmates. Reception has a design capacity of 207; another 40
beds are in B-Ward, the Treatment Center; and there are30 beds designated for resident
workers. The other units are Aspen DWI, a 200-bed facility which opened in 1983 for adult
males incarcerated under the state Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) law; Flamenco Mental
Health Center, a licensed 105-bed psychiatric hospital for adult males which opened in
1985; and Flamenco Health Center for Women, a licensed 20-bed behavioral hospital for
adult females which opened in 1990.
Two other units are separated geographically but considered part of the Phoenix
Complex. One, the Arizona Center for Women at 32nd Street and East Van Buren, has a
designated capacity of 250; it opened in 1979,originally under a lease arrangement, and is
now owned by the Department. The other is ASP-Globe, a 150-bed prison for adult males
