Institutions Division

Institutions Division

The Institutions Division consists of jails, prisons, and the Mainland Branch.

Jails

The department oversees the following four jails: Hawaii Community Correctional Center, Kauai Community Correctional Center, Maui Community Correctional Center, and the Oahu Community Correctional Center. Hawaii jails provide for the secure incarceration of our pretrial and very short-term sentence misdemeanant population. Jails are locally situated on each major island. The jails also provide for the transitional sentence felon population, those who have almost completed their felony sentences, and are returning to the community. Our jail population consists of both male and female inmates.

Prisons

The department oversees the following three prisons: Halawa Correctional Facility, Waiawa Correctional Facility, and the Women's Community Correctional Center. All three prisons are located on the island of Oahu.
