If you want to be able to have 'in-person' phone or video visits from an inmate in the Arizona Department of Corrections you need to fill out an application to do so.
Each applicant will undergo a criminal background check, and have to pay a non-refundable, $25.00 background check fee.
Allow 60 days to process the application, once the required payment, if applicable, and supporting documentation are received.
Once a decision has been made, the inmate will be informed of the outcome. It is the inmate's responsibility to inform the potential visitor of their visitation status.
Normal phone calling does not require a background check, although you still will have to be approved.
Refer to the Rules and Regulations for Inmate Visitation Procedures.
