Honolulu County jail inmate search

The Hawaii Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation operates the Oahu Community Correctional Center, where people arrested on Oahu are held. The Hawaii: VINE portal, also known as Hawaii SAVIN, lets you look up a detainee.

To run your search, type in a person's name or ID number. Custody status and criminal case information appear in the results. If someone is locked up right now, transferred, or released, the custody status says so. Another option is reading about finding someone in jail, or registering on that portal for status notifications.

People newly arrested on Oahu are taken to the Oahu Community Correctional Center. A person who was just brought in may not appear in the online search right away.

If you don't see the name online, call the main jail line at (808) 832-1777. You can also call the Oahu Intake Service Center at (808) 832-1497, listed on the Frequently Called Numbers page.

Call the right line for your question to reach the facility directly:

• OCCC main line: Call (808) 832-1777 for general facility questions.
• Visitation hotline: Call (808) 832-1633 for visiting schedule updates.
• Oahu Intake Service Center: Call (808) 832-1497 for intake questions.
• SAVIN/VINE line: Call 1-877-846-3444 to check custody status by phone.

Main and visiting numbers appear on the Oahu Community Correctional Center page online. The automated status number appears on the SAVIN: Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation page online.

You'll find the Oahu Community Correctional Center at 2199 Kamehameha Highway, Honolulu, HI 96819. This is the state jail for Oahu. The department's Frequently Called Numbers page lets you verify the location and mailing details.

No: for Oahu, a county sheriff runs neither the jail nor the inmate search. The Hawaii Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation is in charge of Oahu Community Correctional Center.

To find detainees, skip the county sheriff roster and use the state service on VINE: SAVIN: Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

The page for Oahu Community Correctional Center carries a guidelines PDF and published schedule, which facility staff use to manage visiting. Take these steps before you plan a visit:

• Look at the facility's online visitation schedule and guidelines PDF for current rules.
• Call the visitation hotline at (808) 832-1633 to hear any schedule updates.
• For remote video visit calls, use GTL/ViaPath; inmates make them on tablets provided by the facility.

Letters can be mailed to 2199 Kamehameha Highway, Honolulu, HI 96819. The Oahu Community Correctional Center page links policy COR 15.02, and all mail must follow it.

Electronic deposits to an inmate trust account can be sent through GTL/ViaPath ConnectNetwork. Money in an inmate trust account lets a person in custody buy commissary items; the commissary is the jail’s shop.

Inmate telephone service at the facility is handled by Global Tel Link, also called GTL/ViaPath. This service lets people in custody call landline phones and cell phones.

Phone service details are on the Oahu Community Correctional Center page.

Inmate names, booking photos, and arrest records never appear on County Jail Lookup. Searching the Hawaii: VINE portal brings up someone’s custody status and criminal case details. Go straight to that lookup tool to see the details now published for a person in custody.

After an arrest, Hawaii courts decide the bail amount. A bond works as a financial guarantee that the person will come back for their court dates. A judge may permit conditional release, supervised release, release on own recognizance, or a surety bond through a bail agent. Release on own recognizance means no money is paid; the person signs a written promise to return and goes free.

Call the jail at (808) 832-1777 to ask how to post bail for a detainee. You can also read about the Hawaii inmate search process across the state.

You can find out when someone is let go by signing up for custody alerts on the Hawaii: VINE portal. You can also register for notifications by calling the SAVIN line at 1-877-846-3444. For direct questions about a person's release, call the Oahu Community Correctional Center at (808) 832-1777.
