Halawa Correctional Facility Inmate Communication Overview
Halawa Correctional Facility is one of Hawaii's main state prisons, located in Aiea on the island of Oahu. It is operated by the Hawaii Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and holds men at medium and higher security classifications, including a special needs unit for people who require additional medical or mental health support. Because it is one of the larger facilities in the state system, people from other Hawaiian islands are sometimes transferred here.
Families reach someone at Halawa through two providers. JPay handles electronic messaging, digital photo sharing, and money transfers, all through a single account. Securus handles phone calls and video visitation. To send a message or photo, create a JPay account and add the person using their name and Hawaii DOC identification number. To talk by phone or set up a video visit, create a separate Securus account.
For families living on other islands, such as Maui, the Big Island, or Kauai, video visitation through Securus can be far more practical than traveling to Oahu for an in-person visit. It is worth checking current visitation rules directly with the facility, since island-to-island travel adds real cost and time for many families. New contacts typically need to be approved before messages, calls, or video visits will go through.
