Locate Laumaka Work Furlough Custody

Laumaka Work Furlough Overview

Laumaka Work Furlough Center is managed by Oahu Community Correctional Center and is described by DCR as located one block away from OCCC. The research did not locate an official exact street number for Laumaka, so the page should use the official location language rather than inferring one from a map. DCR's OCCC material says inmates assigned to Laumaka are either actively seeking employment or working in the community. That makes Laumaka a reentry and work-furlough facility, not a standard Honolulu booking jail.

DCR news releases in 2024 and 2025 identify Laumaka as a minimum-security work-furlough center for community-custody inmates. Community custody is the lowest security classification named in the research. The same releases show why public readers can misread Laumaka records: a person may be away from the center on a job-seeking or work-related pass, but still be in DCR custody. If that person fails to return, DCR may return the person to OCCC and treat the failure under custody rules.

Laumaka also houses Project Bridge in one of its buildings. DCR describes Project Bridge as a transitional program for offenders who have completed primary substance-abuse treatment. A DCR/PSD evaluation describes the plant as a transitional facility with an administrative building, classrooms, cafeteria, security posts, and two apartment-like housing buildings with shared living spaces.

Laumaka Capacity and Custody

The main sourced Laumaka size figure comes from a 2017 DCR/PSD program evaluation that describes housing for 212 people. The research did not identify a March 31, 2026 Laumaka-specific head count in the DCR population table separate from OCCC. Treat the 212 figure as a facility housing description from that evaluation, not a current population count. For current custody, use Hawaii SAVIN/VINELink and OCCC contact channels.

Look Up Laumaka Custody

A Laumaka lookup should begin with DCR custody status rather than an assumed public jail roster. No separate public Laumaka roster was located. Because Laumaka is managed through OCCC, use Hawaii SAVIN/VINELink for DCR custody or parole notification and route facility-specific calls through OCCC unless DCR publishes a separate public line. HPD adult arrest logs may be useful only when the question starts with a recent arrest, not when confirming work-furlough placement.

1. Search Hawaii SAVIN/VINELink by name or ID to check whether the person is in DCR custody or parole status.
2. Call OCCC at (808) 832-1777 if the online custody channel does not show whether the person is assigned to Laumaka.
3. Use HPD arrest logs only for a recent arrest event or a release code that may explain a transfer path.
4. Search eCourt Kokua for the court case, charge status, hearings, and bail or bond information when formal charges exist.

Laumaka should not be confused with Halawa, Waiawa, or Women's Community Correctional Center, which are state prison facilities on Oahu. It should also not be confused with Federal Detention Center, Honolulu, which uses BOP and ICE systems. Work furlough is a DCR community-custody placement tied to reentry, job search, and employment rules.

Laumaka Address and Contact

The official source set did not provide a precise public street number or a separate public phone line for Laumaka. The safe contact path is to use OCCC's main line and the official statement that Laumaka is one block away from OCCC. This is important because inventing a street address could send visitors, family members, or records requesters to the wrong place.

Laumaka Visiting Limits

The research did not locate a separate Laumaka visitation schedule. Because Laumaka is OCCC-managed community custody, confirm visit permission, location, and timing through OCCC before traveling. Do not assume the OCCC secure-jail schedule automatically applies to Laumaka work furlough participants, and do not assume a community-custody person is available at the center during ordinary jail visiting hours.

Laumaka Mail Phone Money

The research did not locate Laumaka-specific mail formatting, commissary fees, deposit fees, or phone vendor details separate from OCCC. DCR's OCCC page documents GTL phone service, GTL tablets, and GTL/ViaPath Connect Network deposits for OCCC, but those details should not be stretched into a Laumaka-specific fee schedule without a source. Use OCCC as the contact route and ask staff for the current instructions for a Laumaka participant.

Laumaka Intake and Pass Status

Laumaka is post-intake and reentry-oriented. A person does not normally appear at Laumaka as the first stop after a street arrest. New arrest questions should start with HPD logs, court status, DCR custody channels, and OCCC. Laumaka placement comes later, after DCR classification and program decisions place a person in community custody, work furlough, job seeking, or Project Bridge.

DCR releases about Laumaka missing or returned inmates provide a useful but limited public explanation of pass status. They describe community custody as the lowest classification and note that a person may be on job-seeking or work-related pass privileges. If a participant fails to return, DCR may report the person missing, law enforcement may arrest the person, and custody may shift back to OCCC. Those releases should be read as custody-procedure examples, not as a reason to treat Laumaka like a high-security jail roster.

Community custody

Project Bridge

A transitional program at Laumaka for offenders who completed primary substance-abuse treatment.

About Laumaka Work Furlough

Laumaka's public record value is its distinction from ordinary jail custody. It shows that Honolulu County inmate population questions can involve more than OCCC housing units. DCR describes people at Laumaka as actively seeking work or working in the community, and the 2017 evaluation describes apartment-like housing buildings with shared living spaces. That is a different setting from OCCC's secure jail modules.

Recent DCR news adds local context. On November 1, 2025, DCR announced that nine Laumaka work-furlough inmates completed a four-day pre-apprenticeship evaluation course with the Hawaii Laborers' Apprenticeship and Training Program. The listed tasks included concrete block moving and stacking, gravel wheeling and trenching, scaffold building and dismantling, lumber stacking, and site safety. That release fits Laumaka's documented purpose: reentry through work, job skills, and community placement.
