Offender Reentry:

Inmate Classification Office
The Inmate Classification Office (ICO) is responsible for the monitoring of statewide custody designations and facility placement of inmates in accordance to Policies and Procedures. The ICO is also responsible for providing an organized and efficient method of implementing the department’s classification system to ensure uniformity in its application and integration into the operations of statewide correctional facilities. The ICO uses four classification instruments to determine and change inmate custody levels, to determine the degree of supervision required, facility placement, and types of programs in which an inmate is encouraged to participate.

Institutions Division
The Institutions Division consists of jails, prisons, and the Mainland Branch.

Jails
The department oversees the following four jails: Hawaii Community Correctional Center, Kauai Community Correctional Center, Maui Community Correctional Center, and the Oahu Community Correctional Center. Hawaii jails provide for the secure incarceration of our pretrial and very short-term sentence misdemeanant population. Jails are locally situated on each major island. The jails also provide for the transitional sentence felon population, those who have almost completed their felony sentences, and are returning to the community. Our jail population consists of both male and female inmates.

Prisons
The department oversees the following three prisons: Halawa Correctional Facility, Waiawa Correctional Facility, and the Women’s Community Correctional Center. All three prisons are located on the island of Oahu.

Offender Management Office
The Offender Management Office (OMO) oversees the departmental policy and practices on sentence computation, and continually trains department staff in this area. The OMO also coordinates with all courts and other law enforcement agencies, both state and federal, to ensure that all appropriate documentation is obtained to compute all inmate sentences accurately and in a timely manner.
