It's important to remember that all phone calls are recorded, and discussing sensitive legal matters over these lines is discouraged.

While incarcerated, reading is often the best use of time. Please note that books and magazines, puzzles, and word searches ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. Prisons and jails enforce this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.

Work Programs at ASPC-Tucson encompass various initiatives aimed at rehabilitation and skill-building among inmates. Through an Intergovernmental Agreement, approximately 40 inmates engage in off-complex work crews, while two onsite call centers employ 78 inmates. Additionally, Arizona Department of Transportation crews conduct off-site trimming and cleaning, and two wildland fire crews assist with brush abatement during the off-season. A crew also works at Kartchner Caverns State Park in Benson, covering an area between Tucson, Nogales, Marana, Benson, and Sells. Ten on-site crews maintain the complex perimeter.

In addition to these efforts, each unit is allocated a Work Incentive Pay Plan (WIPP) budget, enabling over 1,900 inmates to work in roles ranging from labor to semi-skilled and skilled positions. Some inmates split their time between work and vocational education classes, receiving WIPP wages accordingly. Moreover, the Arizona Correctional Industries Sign Shop employs up to 26 inmates, with wages averaging $0.65 per hour. These inmates are classified based on their skills, often requiring backgrounds in computer, silkscreen, painting, or metal fabrication.
