Waipahu Inmate Population Records

Waipahu is a central Oahu town in the City and County of Honolulu, and the Waipahu inmate population runs through the same state and county systems that cover the rest of the island. Adults arrested in Waipahu move through the Honolulu Police Department and land at the Oahu Community Correctional Center, known as OCCC. The Waiawa Correctional Facility sits inside Waipahu itself. This page covers every public tool to find a current inmate, track a court case, or pull a record check.

Waipahu Inmate Population and OCCC

OCCC is the main intake and pretrial jail for Oahu. Adults from Waipahu go there after HPD booking. The site sits at 2199 Kamehameha Highway in Honolulu. The main line is (808) 832-1700. Staff log new inmates in real time, and the data feeds the state custody search. See the DCR OCCC page for visit hours and mail rules.

Visits run by housing module. Book a visit slot ahead of time. Dress rules apply and all visitors go through a scan. Phone accounts run through a pre-funded system. Mail goes to the DCR central mail room.

Transfer from OCCC to Halawa or Waiawa follows sentencing. Transfers happen within days or weeks. Always confirm the current housing site before any trip to the jail.

Waiawa Correctional Facility in Waipahu

The Waiawa Correctional Facility is a minimum security prison at 94-485 Waipahu Street in Waipahu. The site runs work training, substance abuse programs, and pre-release services. See the DCR Waiawa page for the full program list. Staff classify inmates for placement based on sentence length and risk.

Waiawa holds men only. Most residents are within a few years of release. The KASHBOX and Cash Box therapeutic community programs run on site. Farm work and small trade shops round out the day.

Visit rules are set by the housing unit. Call ahead to confirm times and bring a valid photo ID. Dress rules follow the statewide DCR standard.

HPD District 3 and Waipahu Arrest Logs

The Honolulu Police Department covers Waipahu under District 3, based in Pearl City. The Pearl City station handles calls, traffic stops, and booking for central Oahu. HPD posts a rolling arrest log at every station under its public access policy. The log covers the last 14 days.

Arrest logs show the name, date of birth, arrest date, charge, and booking number. They do not show court outcomes. They do not include mug shots. For court outcomes, use eCourt Kokua. HPD also sells report copies at $3 each through the Records Division downtown.

Some reports need a redaction review before release. That review can take a few weeks. Victims can request a copy of the report for their own case with no fee.

First Circuit Court Records for Waipahu Cases

Waipahu's adult criminal cases go to the First Circuit Court in downtown Honolulu. District Court handles misdemeanors, traffic, and first appearances. Circuit Court handles felonies, appeals, and grand jury matters. The free eCourt Kokua portal lets you search both levels.

You can search by name, case number, or citation number. The search returns the case caption, charges, hearing dates, and judgment. Bail amounts and release orders show too. This data ties directly to the inmate population roster.

Some items are closed under HRS § 571-84. Closed items include juvenile matters, some mental health cases, and sealed orders. You can ask the clerk for the right form to request a sealed file.

SAVIN Alerts for the Waipahu Inmate Population

Hawaii's SAVIN service runs on the VINE platform and sends free custody alerts. Waipahu residents can register as a victim, witness, or family member. Alerts fire by phone, text, or email when the person moves, posts bail, or gets released. Use the VINELink Hawaii search to check status.

Sign-up takes a few minutes and is free. You need a state ID number or the inmate's name and date of birth. The state keeps your contact info private. Alerts run around the clock.

SAVIN covers every DCR facility. Waipahu cases stay in the alert pool as they move between OCCC, Waiawa, and Halawa. You can cancel alerts at any time.

HCJDC Criminal History Checks

The Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center runs the state's record check system. HCJDC reports pull from courts, police, and corrections. Waipahu residents can ask for a name check or a fingerprint check at the HCJDC records unit. Name checks cost about $30. Fingerprint checks run more.

HCJDC rules follow HRS § 92F-13 and HRS § 92F-12. Convictions are public. Non-conviction data falls under HRS § 846-9. Arrests without a guilty finding may not show on a public report.

HCJDC also runs public access terminals on Oahu. You can walk in, search the state database, and print results. Staff will show you the steps but will not run queries for you.

UIPA Records Requests in Waipahu

The Uniform Information Practices Act at HRS Chapter 92F gives the public the right to ask for most government records. Waipahu residents can file UIPA requests with any state or county agency. Agencies must respond within set time limits. Simple requests get a reply in 10 business days.

Complex requests may take longer. Fees tie to search time and copy cost. Small requests are often free. The Office of Information Practices can help with appeals if an agency denies a request.

Closed items include juvenile records, medical files, and open investigations. Agencies may redact names of victims and witnesses before release.

Waipahu Inmate Population Sex Offender Registry
