Search Oahu Community Correctional Center Custody

Oahu Community Jail Overview

Oahu Community Correctional Center, often shortened to OCCC, is operated by the Hawaii Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation rather than a Honolulu County sheriff. DCR identifies it as the state's largest jail facility and places it at 2199 Kamehameha Highway in urban Honolulu. Its role is local and statewide at the same time. It holds Oahu pretrial detainees, very short-term misdemeanants, and some sentenced people in reintegration programs as they move toward return to the community.

The Honolulu County custody path is therefore different from many mainland jail searches. HPD may make the arrest and publish an adult arrest log, but DCR runs the jail bed. A person may go from HPD custody to court, release, another agency, or OCCC. The release code on the HPD log often decides the next step. ISC means Intake Service Center and points toward OCCC after a court appearance, while RBL, ROR, RPC, RNC, and RPI may mean the person is not in jail even though an arrest record exists.

The official DCR OCCC page also documents the facility's programs, mail policy links, phone service notices, and trust-deposit vendor notices. The captured official page below is useful because it shows the source page where DCR publishes the jail address, phone line, visitation hotline, and capacity language.

OCCC Capacity and Population

DCR uses more than one capacity label for Oahu Community Correctional Center, so the numbers should be read with their source dates. The facility page describes OCCC as a 950-bed facility. The March 31, 2026 DCR End of Month Population Report lists a design capacity of 628, an operational capacity of 954, a head count of 898, and an assigned count of 905. The December 29, 2025 weekly report listed an OCCC head count of 906 and occupancy of 95.0 percent.

Those totals are point-in-time jail population figures, not a count of all Honolulu arrests. Annual bookings, average length of stay, and a county jail population rate were not located in the official source set. Use the DCR population reports for facility head counts, and use HPD arrest logs for recent arrest events.

Look Up OCCC Inmates

No official public OCCC roster with clickable inmate profiles was located in the research. A practical Honolulu County inmate search uses a fallback chain: HPD adult arrest logs for the arrest event, Hawaii SAVIN/VINELink for DCR custody or parole status, direct OCCC contact for facility-specific questions, and eCourt Kokua for filed court charges. If the case is federal or immigration-related, OCCC is the wrong system.

1. Check the HPD adult arrest logs for a recent adult arrest, then read the release code next to the entry.
2. Search Hawaii SAVIN/VINELink by name or ID when the release code, family information, or case facts point to DCR custody.
3. Call OCCC at (808) 832-1777 if VINELink does not resolve current custody or the HPD code suggests an ISC transfer.
4. Use eCourt Kokua for court case status, offenses, events, and bail or bond details after charges are filed.

OCCC Address and Contact

Use OCCC contact lines for jail-specific questions such as whether an approved visit is going forward, whether an inmate has been transferred within DCR, or how to confirm a current custody issue that does not appear online. Do not route current DCR custody questions to HPD Records unless the need is a police report, older arrest log, warrant information request, or mug-photo request under HPD policy.

OCCC Visiting Rules

The OCCC visiting schedule in the research comes from the DCR visitation PDF effective February 1, 2025. Visits are non-contact and must be scheduled by phone. Visitors must call the hotline between 0900 and 1200, Monday through Friday, and must arrive or check in 15 minutes before the scheduled visit. DCR states that visits may be adjusted for operational needs, so confirmation matters before travel.

Older OCCC visiting guidelines add security rules that remain useful for planning. Adult visitors sign a Notice and Consent to Search Form. Minors are covered under the legal guardian's consent. Visitors and carried items may be searched by pat or frisk search, electronic screening, and residual or chemical screening. Staff are not authorized to give visitation-list information by phone because approval information is confidential.

OCCC Mail Phone Money

DCR's OCCC page links statewide mail and publication policies rather than publishing a full inmate-address format in the captured lines. It also lists service notices for calls, tablets, and electronic trust deposits. Do not apply federal BOP or ICE rules to OCCC. OCCC is a DCR jail, and the documented vendors are the DCR jail vendors below.

OCCC Booking and Intake

OCCC is reached after a Honolulu arrest only when the case path calls for jail custody. HPD arrest logs are arrest-event records and can show release, court transport, prosecution decisions, transfer, or Intake Service Center movement. A person can post bail, be released on recognizance, be released pending investigation, be taken to District Court, Circuit Court, or Family Court, or be turned over to another agency. That is why OCCC inmate lookup should not start and end with HPD logs.

DCR classification determines custody level, facility placement, supervision, and program assignment once a person is inside the state corrections system. OCCC may hold pretrial detainees and very short-term misdemeanants, but it also has reintegration programming for male sentenced felons. Some sentenced prisoners may later move to Halawa, Waiawa, Women's Community Correctional Center, a mainland contract facility, or a federal facility depending on the legal basis for custody.

About Oahu Community Correctional Center

DCR says OCCC sits on 16 acres in urban Honolulu. A February 5, 2025 DCR release about the proposed new OCCC said the current jail was built in 1916, is outdated and deteriorating, and has parts that are 111 years old. The release said planning for a new jail began in 2016 and identified a proposed replacement site at the existing animal quarantine station property in Halawa. That local planning history matters because it explains why current population, design, and program issues appear often in Honolulu jail records discussions.

OCCC also has program functions beyond holding cells. DCR states that pretrial detainees are offered educational, self-improvement, and religious programs. Sentenced inmates may have substance-abuse, domestic-violence, cognitive-skills, parenting, community-service workline, work-furlough, and extended-furlough programming. DCR says OCCC employs more than 400 inmates in an average year in worklines for kitchen, laundry, and related operations, and Correctional Industries work includes light construction such as office wall-panel construction and installation.
