The Oahu Community Correctional Center in Hawaii has been facing issues with overcrowding and safety. However, conditions have improved enough to end 14 years of mandated monitoring by national experts. The facility serves pretrial, sentenced jail, and sentenced furlough inmates, and has guidelines for inmate housing units. The Oahu Community Correctional Center is the largest jail facility in Hawaii, with its 950 beds. It has been criticized for being overcrowded and obsolete. The state of Hawaii is considering moving the facility to a new location, possibly a repurposed animal quarantine structure.

The Oahu Community Correctional Center provides the largest capacity of detention for all of Hawaii, and sits on a plot of land that is 16 acres and within Honolulu County. It houses both pre-trial inmates and sentenced inmates, both male and female, and provides many programs for each group, as well as a work program from nearby Laumaka Work Furlough.

Although the Laumaka facility is physically located one block from the Oahu Community Correctional Center it is operated with the Correctional Center and they are treated as one facility. The LWFC is for those who are working in the community or who are seeking employment, often near the end of their sentence, and falls under Project Bridge as a transitional program that is offered to any inmates who have finished some of their substance abuse treatments and are deemed ready for the program. Those in the OCCC who are not yet sentenced and who are waiting for their trial to begin will have access to self development programs, self improvement programs, and religious programs.

The sentenced population are able to attend sessions and programs on substance abuse, domestic violence, cognitive skills, parenting, community service, work furlough, extended furlough and may be able to work for Honolulu County for the remainder of their sentence. With a capacity of 950, it also houses federal inmates who are being transferred back to the county levels and will allow them access to these programs as well. Reintegration programs are in place for sentenced felons as well, to assist in their return to their community. 

Mail: Inmates are unlimited in the amount of mail that they send or receive, but it must be letters only, sent through the postal service, and all mail Is monitored and may be opened if it is suspected to pose a risk to the safety or security of the facility.

Recent Bookings & Arrests

How do I find out if someone has been arrested and booked into the Oahu Community Correctional Center?

To find out if someone you know has been recently arrested and booked into the Oahu Community Correctional Center, call the jail’s booking line at 808-832-1777.

There may be an automated method of looking them up by their name over the phone, or you may be directed to speak to someone at the jail. Sometimes the jail staff may ask you the offender’s date of birth to ensure privacy of the offender’s status.

Keep in mind that after an arrest, the information on an offender may not be publicly available for several hours.

If you don’t want to check up on an offender by calling the jail, you can also try looking up people recently booked online.

Oahu Community Correctional Center Booking Roster

What happens during booking in Honolulu County?

After being arrested and taken into custody, and after being read their Miranda Rights, an offender will next be transported to the local police or department or the Sheriff’s Department in Honolulu County for booking.

Booking is very involved and requires multiple steps in the process, however, keep in mind that most attorneys will advise that an offender remain silent and not offer any additional information about the crime they have been arrested for because anything they do say may be recorded and may very well be used against them in court.

What is the booking process like at the Oahu Community Correctional Center?

Booking includes having their photo (mugshot) and fingerprints taken, as well as being asked a lot of questions about their personal history and state of mind. If it’s a serious felony, their DNA may also be taken. They will also be checked for warrants in Honolulu County and other Hawaii and USA jurisdictions.

If the offender was arrested for a DUI offense, and has refused a breathalyzer test, they may also be forced to have blood drawn by a doctor or nurse.

It is also very likely that the offender will undergo a humiliating full body search while in the nude. This includes bending over, spreading their cheeks in the direction of an officer, and coughing. They will also be walked through a metal detector or x-ray machine, like those used at an airport.

What kind of questions are asked during booking?

The arresting jurisdiction will ask about gang affiliations, tattoos, medical conditions, prescribed medication they are taking, recreational drugs they are on or addicted to, allergies, if they are suicidal, and other relevant information that will help with determining their cell assignment and special needs.

What happens to an offender’s personal property during booking?

During the arrest and booking process an offender will also have all their personal property confiscated and held for either their release from jail, or with the offender’s approval, released to a friend or family member.

Personal property includes the clothing they are wearing, money, wallets, purses, cell phones, jewelry, body rings, earrings, watches, and even glasses if they are deemed a security risk. If they are allowed to keep their shoes or sneakers, the laces are removed.

What happens after booking?

At this point the offender will be allowed to make a free phone call to a person of their choice to notify them of their arrest, and/or arrange a bond or bail for their release.

If the offender is being detained and housed while awaiting arraignment, the Oahu Community Correctional Center will provide a jail garment and slip-on shoes, a blanket, sheets, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, and a towel.

Often, before they are dressed in the jail outfit and brought to their housing location, they will be forced to take a shower and undergo a disinfectant treatment for body and hair lice, scabies or other pests that may be residing on their person.

How long does the Oahu Community Correctional Center Booking process take?

Booking can take anywhere from an hour to 24 hours or more. It all depends on the number of people that are awaiting processing, the number of staff on duty at the time, and the behavior of the offender.

If the offender is heavily intoxicated and/or violent, the Booking Officer may decide to stick the offender in a holding cell for several hours until they become more manageable.

Inmate Bail and Bonding

The Honolulu County Sheriff recommends that you use a bail bond agent licensed to do business in Honolulu County.

  • You can pay a cash bond yourself, or use your home in Honolulu County, or in some cases the state of Hawaii, but the benefit of using a bail bond agent is that they take responsibility for making sure the inmate shows up for court in Honolulu County, and if they don't, then they take the financial responsibility.
  • The typical fee for a bond will be between 10-20% of the bail amount; usually 15%.  So if an offender has a bail of $10,000.00, their bond will be $1500.00.

Call 808-832-1777 to find out the exact bond (plus other fees) amount, or look it up online by looking up the information on the Honolulu County inmate locator.

Honolulu County Bail Bond Information

Because Honolulu County and Hawaii can change their bail bond procedures, it is always best to call either the Oahu Community Correctional Center at 808-832-1777, or the court in the jurisdiction (i.e. Municipal Court, District Court, etc.) where the offender was charged, and do this right after an arrestee has been booked. 

Ask the staff at the Oahu Community Correctional Center or the Honolulu County Court Clerk these specific questions:

  1. Is the defendant eligible for bail or a bond?
  2. How much will the bail or bond be, and what are the additional fees?
  3. Where do I go to pay it?
  4. Are there any days or times of the day or night when I cannot post bail?
  5. What types of payment are allowed? Cash? Money order? Credit card? What types of credit cards? Property or other collateral? Surety bonds?
  6. Do I have to use a bail or bond agent?

If you feel the bail is too high and you wish to get it reduced, contact a lawyer or the defendant's public defender and get them to look into what they can do to get a bail reduction. The sooner you get working on this the quicker you will get your loved one released. 

This entire process will go smoother and faster with a criminal attorney or bail agent handling it for you.
