OCCC Future Plans

Oahu Community Correctional CenterThe Hawaii Department of Public Safety (PSD) provides correctional and law enforcement services to Hawaii’s communities with professionalism, integrity, and fairness. With increasingly aged and obsolete correctional facilities, PSD is proposing to modernize existing facilities where feasible and construct new institutions to replace others where necessary. Among the priority projects is replacement of the Oahu Community Correctional Center (OCCC). A new OCCC will employ the latest cost-savings technologies, allow PSD to better meet the needs of the offender population, and provide for the continued safety and security of offenders, staff and the public. With the planning process well underway, this page will be regularly updated with current information regarding the OCCC project, public outreach activities, and milestones and accomplishments.
