All Hawaiʻi state jails and prisons are resuming in-person visitation, effective Monday, March 28, 2022.
Visitors will now have to follow new COVID guidelines for entry into the facility. All regular visitation rules will apply as per policy. Each facility will resume their normal visitation schedule but will be adjusting to conduct the visits in compliance with CDC social distancing requirements for contained correctional settings.
The new COVID-19 safety measures include the following:
- Visitors will undergo a temperature check and will be required to fill out a COVID-19 health screening form upon entry.
- Masks must be worn at all times.
- The visitation areas will be sanitized between each visit session.
