The Halawa Correctional Facility (HCF) is made up of two separate and distinct buildings: a special needs facility and a medium security facility. The special needs facility is the old City and County Halawa Jail, originally opened in 1962 and transferred to the State in 1977. It houses maximum and closed custody inmates, as well as those who require protective custody. It also serves inmates with severe and chronic mental illnesses that preclude them from being placed in the general population.

The medium security facility opened in 1987, and is still the newest and largest prison facility in Hawaii's correctional system. It houses male sentenced felons. In order to mitigate overcrowding, there were approximately 1,400 males from HCF housed at out-of-state contracted facilities in Arizona, Oklahoma and Mississippi as of June 30, 2004.

Among the programs offered at HCF are a broad range of education classes, substance abuse treatment services and sex offender treatment services. In-facility workline positions and work opportunities are also available through Correctional Industries.
