How to Contact an Inmate at Phoenix Arizona State Prison Complex

If your loved one is incarcerated at ASPC-Phoenix, you can contact them through:

• Mail
• Phone
• Visitations

Mail

Mail sent to ASPC-Phoenix has to be addressed to an inmate's specific unit so that it can get to them. Here's how to address letters or packages for each unit:

Phone Calls

ASPC-Phoenix prisoners have access to telephones but can only make collect calls or prepaid calls. If you would wish to receive phone calls from an inmate, you must fill out this online application form for visitation and choose the phone-only option.

Ensure that the information you enter on the form is accurate. If you are applying for phone-only privileges, you may be required to pay a $25 check fee as part of the application.

In-Person Visitations

Every inmate who arrives at ASPC-Phoenix is expected to submit a list of visitors (maximum of 20 people) who can come in to visit. Anyone who wishes to visit should apply through an online application form and submit the applications for approval. You must also pay a one-time $25 fee for a background check.

Applications can be mailed to the respective unit's visitation office.

It's important to note that inmates in Reception status at Alhambra are not allowed visitation or phone calls (usually 30 - 45 days). Only those inmates assigned to Alhambra as resident workers or those in treatment programs are allowed visitors.

Other units' visitation hours are as follows.
