Kalawao County, the Kalaupapa settlement on Molokai, runs no jail; its court cases fall to the Second Circuit described below.

Check VINELink again, because it lists every DCR jail at once. People arrested off Maui on a Maui court warrant may sit in another island jail until they are flown back, and DCR sometimes transfers detainees to ease crowding. The other jails are:

• Oahu Community Correctional Center, Honolulu, 808-832-1777
• Hawaii Community Correctional Center, Hilo; call either 808-933-0431 or 808-933-0428
• Kauai Community Correctional Center, Lihue; call either 808-241-3050 or 808-241-3057

1. Go to VINELink's Hawaii person search.
2. Key in the surname and given name; a birth date narrows common names.
3. Open the right match to read custody status, facility and offender number.
4. Tap "Register" for free status alerts by phone, text or email.

Phone search: 1-877-846-3444, TTY 1-866-847-1298. VINE leaves out federal inmates and people still at a police station.

DCR's SAVIN page lists the free VINELink mobile app as a way to search and sign up for notices.

MCCC's rules tell families not to call for inmate information or to pass messages, because staff will not share it. These office lines help with other needs:

• Some low-level arrests can be bailed out at the police station, before the trip to MCCC.
• Otherwise a judge at Hoapili Hale in Wailuku, or the Lahaina, Molokai or Lanai District Court, sets bail or release terms. Under HRS 804-9, bail should fit the charge and what the person can afford.
• The Maui Intake Service Center (808-243-5008) screens new detainees and writes the pretrial bail report for the judge.
• For certain grave charges, HRS 804-3 lets a judge deny bail outright.

The 2026 Legislature's bail measure (HB 1516) did not become law after the Senate voted it down on May 1, 2026. Our Maui County bail page has more.

A sentence longer than a year moves the person into the state prison system.

Watch each move on VINELink and read about the prisons on our Hawaii state prisons page.

No official site posts Maui County mugshots. VINELink shows custody status without a picture. Hawaii's rules on booking photos are:

• The Office of Information Practices (Opinions 94-12 and 03-09) treat Maui Police booking photos as public under HRS Chapter 92F, so the public and reporters can ask Maui Police for one.
• A mugshot from an arrest over a year old with no final outcome is restricted, unless the case is still active or ended in a conviction (HRS Chapter 846).
• Expunged arrests are confidential, photos included (HRS 831-3.2).
• ICE photos require a request through ICE FOIA.
• Federal booking photos are withheld, except when the U.S. Marshals Service releases one, such as for a fugitive.
