Arizona State Prison Complex(ASPC<\/a>) Lewis, is located in Buckeye, Arizona, and is run by Warden James Kimble. The facility is a multi-level-security prison with a capacity of just over 5,000 male inmates housed across seven units.<\/p>\n As of April 13, 2020, due to COVID-19, the Arizona Department of Corrections suspended both legal and non-legal visitation until \u201cfurther notice, at which time the suspension will be reevaluated.\u201d 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.<\/p>\n Before you can visit an inmate at the Lewis Prison, you will need to fill out an\u00a0application<\/a>, pay a fee and go through a background check. Once the background check and application have been granted you are eligible to visit an inmate, but you will need to follow the following guidelines and time frames provided by the prison.<\/p>\n The following is specific information regarding the visitation rules and hours provides by the Lewis Prison:<\/p>\n Eagle Point\/Sunrise visitation hours are:<\/p>\n Mondays Rast Max L21 Non-Contact:<\/p>\n Contact Visits:<\/p>\n Non-Contact Visits<\/p>\n The Lewis Prison offers two main programs for inmates to enroll in and attend. The two programs are the Inmate Education Program and Religious Activities.<\/p>\n The Education Department at ASPC-Lewis offers specialized education, literary classes, GED preparation, and several vocational programs to inmates. The specialized education and vocational classes are available for all inmates, and if an inmate has health and or safety reasons that would exclude them from participating, they will be provided with specialized assistance and access to video\/closed circuit instruction, and\/or computer-assisted instruction.<\/p>\n ASPC-Lewis has also partnered with Rio Salado College to allow some inmates to take college courses for credit. Unlike the basic literacy and GED courses offered, inmates who elect to take college courses must pay for them at their own expense.<\/p>\n The ASPC-Lewis Religion Department ensures that inmates are provided access to religious activities, religious diets, and other legitimate requirements of their faith. The following are the faith groups with regularly scheduled worship\/study opportunities:<\/p>\n All legitimate religions will be accommodated on an individual basis or in scheduled groups if enough members of the faith group make a request for group worship\/study, if a qualified religious leader is available and if logistical issues are satisfied.<\/p>\n A defendant\u2019s rights to challenge a sentence do not end at conviction. If your loved one is incarcerated in ASPC-Lewis, there is still hope for them to regain their freedom earlier than expected and the Criminal Defense team at JacksonWhite Law is here to help.
