Hawaiian inmates celebrate Makahiki at correctional facility in Eloy

Hawaiian prisons saw a population increase of more than 600% between 1978 and 2018. This explosion in incarceration numbers led the state to contract with a private prison company to house Hawaiian inmates at CoreCivic facilities.Beginning in 2007, many of these inmates were housed in the newly built Saguaro Correctional Center in Eloy — about an hour southeast of Phoenix.
