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.
ASPC-Yuma, part of the Arizona Department of Corrections' network of 13 prison facilities, stands as a modern medium-security institution in San Luis, Yuma County. Nestled approximately 190 miles southwest of Phoenix, it resides a mere 12 miles south of downtown Yuma and a scant three miles from the Mexican border. Hosting a capacity of 2,245 inmates across three housing units spanning security levels 2, 3, and 4, ADCRR-Yuma employs a meticulous score classification system to determine the appropriate custody and security level for each individual, ranging from 2 to 5, with 5 signifying the highest risk or need.
The Cocopah Unit, a 250-bed minimum-security facility, originally intended for inmate use in 1986, saw its deployment delayed until 1987 due to a potential sale to the Federal government that never came to fruition. Functioning as a level two (low custody) unit, it was initially part of the ADCRR-Perryville in October 1992 before transitioning into its prison complex in November 1995.
At ASPC-Yuma, inmates participate in a variety of Work Programs facilitated through the Work Incentive Pay Plan (WIPP), offering meaningful employment opportunities tailored to their skills, education, and security classification.

Additionally, higher education opportunities are available through correspondence courses at the inmate's own expense.
Treatment Programs at ASPC-Yuma address various areas including substance abuse, financial management, re-entry preparation, parenting skills, and mental wellness, overseen by ADC programs staff or external facilitators.
