Florence Arizona Prison Guide: Visitation Rules, Programs, & More

Arizona State Prison Complex (ASPC) Florence, is located in Florence, Arizona, and is run by Warden Jeff Van Winkle. The facility is a mixed level security prison that currently houses just under 4,000 inmates across 6 distinct units.

As of April 13, 2020, due to COVID-19, the Arizona Department of Corrections suspended both legal and non-legal visitation until “further notice, at which time the suspension will be reevaluated.” As of December 2020, the Arizona Department of Corrections is still not allowing legal or non-legal visitation, but when the spread of COVID-19 begins to decrease visitation will be allowed to resume.
