Arizona State Prison Complex – Tucson

The Arizona State Prison Complex – Tucson, located at 10000 South Wilmot Road in Tucson, is the largest correctional facility operated by the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation & Reentry (ADCRR). Spread over 640 acres, it comprises eight separate units offering a range of custody levels, from minimum to high security. This complex has a current inmate capacity of approximately 5,403 individuals.

ASPC-Tucson was initially established in January 1978 as the Arizona Correctional Training Facility. Its initial focus was on housing 384 non-violent male offenders aged 18–25. By 1979, the complex was fully operational, with additional construction and expansions like the Santa Rita Unit in 1982 and the Cimarron Unit in 1986–87 contributing to its growth. The facility now accommodates inmates across different classifications, including juvenile offenders convicted as adults.

The prison offers a wide variety of educational, rehabilitative, and vocational programs. These include high school diploma and GED preparation, career technical training in areas such as automotive technology and HVAC, and even college-level courses through Ashland University and Pima Community College.

Programs like Cognitive Restructuring, domestic violence awareness, and substance abuse recovery are also provided to promote personal growth and reentry readiness. Innovative initiatives, such as the Regaining Honor Program tailored for veteran inmates, demonstrate the institution’s focus on rehabilitation.

Inmates participate in work crews that contribute both within the prison and the broader community—these involve working with groups like Habitat for Humanity and maintaining local state parks and roads.
