Kailua Released Inmates Search
Kailua released inmates records come out of the HPD Kailua Substation, the Oahu Community Correctional Center, and the Women's Community Correctional Center right here in town. Every adult booked in Kailua moves through District 4 and then OCCC in Honolulu. Female sentenced inmates may be housed at WCCC on Kalanianaole Highway. You can search by name, case number, or booking ID. This page covers each way to find Kailua released inmates, from the local police station to the First Circuit Court to SAVIN alerts.
Kailua Overview
Kailua Police Substation
The Kailua Police Substation sits at 219 Kuulei Road, Kailua, HI 96734. Call (808) 723-8838 for the front desk. The substation is part of HPD District 4, which covers all of Windward Oahu. That means Kailua, Kaneohe, Kahuku, and the small towns up the coast. Patrol cars run out of Kuulei Road day and night. Officers here handle calls for service, traffic stops, and arrests in the Kailua area.
When a Kailua arrest happens, the suspect gets processed at the substation. Fingerprints, a mugshot, and basic intake forms all start here. From there, District 4 books the person through to the Oahu Community Correctional Center in Honolulu. OCCC is the main intake jail for the whole island. Kailua does not hold people long-term. Pre-trial detention and any sentenced time moves to a state facility. Short holds may stay at OCCC. Longer holds go to Halawa, Waiawa, or WCCC based on sex and sentence.
Kailua released inmates data starts at District 4 but is not posted on a local log. The HPD does post a county-wide arrest log that covers District 4. That log runs at honolulupd.org/information/arrest-logs and refreshes in six-hour slots. Logs stay up 14 days. After that they roll off.
Note: The Kailua Substation is a processing point, not a long-term jail, so no public in-custody roster is posted on-site.
Women's Community Correctional Center
The Women's Community Correctional Center, known as WCCC, is Hawaii's only prison for women. It sits at 42-477 Kalanianaole Highway, Kailua, HI 96734. Every female state inmate in Hawaii does time here. Capacity runs about 276 beds. The site opened in 1979 on the old Kailua girls' school grounds. A major expansion finished in 2024 added new housing, program space, and medical care. Kailua released inmates who are female often start at WCCC and leave from the same gate.
WCCC runs a broad program list. Higher education classes come in through partner colleges. Vocational training covers trades, food service, and small business skills. Life skills classes cover parenting, budgeting, and reentry. The facility puts a strong focus on trauma-informed care. Many women at WCCC have histories of abuse, trauma, or substance use. The goal is to treat those root issues and not just hold people. Staff work with the DCR on release plans tied to housing, work, and family ties.
Visitation at WCCC needs approval ahead of time. The visitor must be on the inmate's approved list. Photo ID is required at the gate. Full rules and contact info sit at dcr.hawaii.gov/facilities/womens-community-correctional-center.
Custody authority for WCCC comes from HRS Chapter 353. That is the state corrections code. It sets up the DCR and gives it the power to hold people under court order.
Kailua Released Inmates Records
Kailua released inmates records are split across two state jails. Male inmates booked in Kailua go to the Oahu Community Correctional Center at 2199 Kamehameha Highway in Honolulu. Female inmates go to WCCC on Kalanianaole Highway. The DCR is the source for both facilities. Call OCCC at (808) 832-1777. Call WCCC through the DCR main line. Both places keep custody logs, booking numbers, and release dates on file.
For full criminal history, use the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center. HCJDC runs eCrim, the statewide adult conviction search. It costs a small fee per name. The tool lives at ecrim.ehawaii.gov and pulls in records from all counties. For a detailed check under HRS 846, submit a written request to the HCJDC. See ag.hawaii.gov/hcjdc for the forms.

SAVIN Victim Notification for Kailua
Hawaii SAVIN is the Statewide Automated Victim Information and Notification service. It runs through VINELink and covers all state jails and prisons, including WCCC in Kailua and OCCC in Honolulu. You can search by name or offender ID. The tool shows current custody status. It also takes registration for alerts when someone is moved, released, escapes, or dies in custody. That is the main way to keep track of a Kailua released inmate without calling the jail each week.
Signing up for SAVIN is free. You can pick phone alerts, text alerts, email alerts, or all three. The call comes from an 800 number and reads a short message. You key in a PIN to confirm you got it. If you miss the call, SAVIN tries again. Alerts also go out if the inmate gets a parole hearing date or a court date on the main case.
The SAVIN portal is at vinelink.com. The Hawaii Police site has a plain-language page at hawaiipolice.gov/services/inmate-information. SAVIN does not cover federal inmates. For federal cases, use the BOP locator.

Court Services for Kailua Released Inmates
Kailua sits in the First Circuit of Hawaii. That circuit covers all of Oahu. The main courthouse is Ka'ahumanu Hale at 777 Punchbowl Street, Honolulu, HI 96813. That is where felony cases from Kailua go to trial. Misdemeanor cases run through the District Court of the First Circuit. Cases involving Kailua released inmates may touch Circuit Court, District Court, or Family Court depending on the charge and the parties.
