East Honolulu Inmate Population

The East Honolulu inmate population covers Hawaii Kai, Aina Haina, Niu Valley, Kuliouou, and the coastal hills out to Makapuu. Most people booked in this area sit at OCCC in Kalihi for men or WCCC in Kailua for women. Juveniles move to HYCF in Olomana. This page shows how to look up East Honolulu inmate records through the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, HPD arrest logs, First Circuit Court files, and the free SAVIN alert service. You can find names, charges, and current custody status with these tools.

East Honolulu Inmate Population at a Glance

East Honolulu is a quiet residential stretch on the southeast side of Oahu. It runs from Wilhelmina Rise out to Hawaii Kai and the sea cliffs past Hanauma Bay. The area has lower arrest rates than the urban core but still feeds the county jail. Men go to OCCC. Women go to WCCC in Kailua, which is the only women's prison in Hawaii. Juveniles under 18 move to HYCF next door on the Olomana campus.

Arrests in East Honolulu are handled by HPD. District 7 in Kaimuki covers the west edge of East Honolulu. A new precinct-level substation also serves the Hawaii Kai side. After booking, files land in the First Circuit Court system. Court status and hearing dates show up in eCourt Kokua. State custody status shows up in SAVIN.

Under HRS Chapter 92F, the Uniform Information Practices Act, most of this data is public.

Women's Community Correctional Center Inmate Records

WCCC is the only women's prison in the state. The address is 42-477 Kalanianaole Highway in Kailua, right over the Pali from East Honolulu. The phone number is (808) 266-9580. East Honolulu women sentenced to state time end up here. A $55.7 million expansion finished in May 2024, adding 176 new beds. The full design count now tops 450. WCCC also runs the Ke Alaula therapeutic community program for women with drug histories.

The site is known for biophilic design. Staff kept old monkeypod trees on the grounds, added natural light, and built open yards. The goal is gender-responsive care, not just lock-up. Visit rules, mail rules, and staff numbers are on the WCCC facility page.

A wider state view of the women's inmate population helps set the context.

New arrivals from East Honolulu first pass through OCCC for intake, then transfer over.

Hawaii Youth Correctional Facility

HYCF is the only juvenile prison in the state. The address is 42-470 Kalanianaole Highway in Kailua, just next door to WCCC. It holds boys and girls under age 18 who have a full youth court commitment. Olomana School runs on-site and gives each ward a path to a high school diploma. Programs cover drug treatment, trauma counseling, and job training.

East Honolulu teens picked up on serious charges move through HPD first, then to Kapolei Juvenile Detention for short-term hold, then to HYCF if a judge commits them. The facility has been the subject of several state reform reports over the past decade. See a historic view of the campus on Images of Old Hawaii to learn more.

Juvenile records are not on the public side. Most youth files are sealed under state law, and access is limited to the court, the family, and the youth's legal team.

HPD Arrest Log for East Honolulu

The Honolulu Police Department runs the arrest log that covers every East Honolulu booking. The HPD records office sits at 801 S. Beretania Street, phone (808) 723-3258. Hours are Monday through Friday, 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. You can ask for a copy of an arrest log at that front counter or by mail.

The full HPD arrest log access policy spells out what the public can see. Names, charges, booking dates, and officer info are on the public side. To ask for a full police report, use the HPD police reports page. Fees are low. Most single reports run a few dollars.

East Honolulu arrests often come out of traffic stops on Kalanianaole Highway, beach patrols at Hanauma Bay, or calls at homes in Hawaii Kai. HPD files all of these under one central log.

OCCC as the First Stop

OCCC on Kamehameha Highway holds almost every new male booking from Oahu, East Honolulu included. The phone is (808) 832-1777. The visit hotline is (808) 832-1633. Most people sit here for days or weeks while the court sets bail, holds a preliminary hearing, or takes a plea. You can find a live roster via SAVIN or by calling intake.

Post-sentence men from East Honolulu move to Halawa, Waiawa, or a mainland contract bed in Arizona. Full rules are on the OCCC facility page. State oversight of all of these jails sits with the DPS Corrections Division, which manages the statewide system.

Under HRS Chapter 353, the state has full control of jail intake, inmate care, and release.

This state-level view helps you see how East Honolulu fits into the wider inmate population map.

eCourt Kokua and First Circuit Files

All East Honolulu criminal cases run through the First Circuit Court. The court is based at 777 Punchbowl Street. The First Circuit Court page posts judge lists, calendars, and filing rules. You can search any case file online.

Use eCourt Kokua to find a case by name, case number, or citation. Results show charges, hearings, bail, and status. The tool is free and works on any browser. Most active cases show up within a day of booking.

Court files are public under HRS § 92F-12. A few are sealed. Juvenile cases stay closed.

SAVIN Alerts for East Honolulu Families

SAVIN is free. It lets you search for any inmate held in Hawaii and sign up for text, email, or phone alerts. Use the SAVIN Hawaii search page. The tool pulls data from OCCC, Halawa, Waiawa, WCCC, and all other island jails. Results update every few hours.

East Honolulu families often use SAVIN to track a loved one moving from OCCC to WCCC or Halawa. If the person is moved to a mainland prison in Arizona, SAVIN tracks that too. The service is run by the DCR and the Attorney General's office.

Enter a full name and date of birth for the best match. Partial names work but may give too many hits.

HCJDC Criminal History and UIPA Requests

The Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center runs the statewide criminal history system. An East Honolulu resident can pull their own record or a record of another person for $30, per HRS § 846-9. Use the HCJDC site for the start page and read the HCJDC FAQ for common questions. Online checks run through the HCJDC records check tool.

If a record is sealed or expunged under HRS § 831-3.2, that item will not show on the public side. Sex offender data lives on the Hawaii Sex Offender Registry under HRS § 846E-02.

For UIPA denials, the Office of Information Practices reviews appeals. HRS § 92F-13 lists the narrow closed items. Most items not on that list are open.

Key East Honolulu inmate lookup steps:

• Check SAVIN for live custody status
• Pull the HPD arrest log for recent bookings
• Search eCourt Kokua for court dates
• Order a HCJDC record for full history
• File a UIPA request for any closed file
