Wailuku Jail Roster Search
The Wailuku jail roster is the daily list of people held in or booked into the custody system that serves all of Maui County from this small town. Wailuku is the county seat. It holds the Maui Community Correctional Center, the Maui Police Department headquarters, and the Second Circuit Court. If you need to search the Wailuku jail roster, three tools do most of the work. Check VINELink for current custody status. Call MCCC direct for a quick yes or no. Pull a case file at the Hoapili Hale court clerk if the charge has been filed.
Wailuku Overview
Maui Community Correctional Center in Wailuku
The Maui Community Correctional Center is the main stop on the Wailuku jail roster. MCCC sits at 600 Waiale Drive, Wailuku HI 96793. It is the primary detention center for all of Maui County. Adult men and women come here after a booking by any Maui County police officer. The facility holds pretrial detainees and sentenced misdemeanants. It also houses a small number of felons on short terms or on a short-term transfer.
MCCC is run by the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, not by the county. That split matters. The county runs the arrest. The state runs the bed. So the Wailuku jail roster is really a state roster that lives inside a county seat. The main phone is (808) 243-5101. The visitation line is (808) 243-5861. The mail desk can be reached at (808) 243-5102. Visitation is scheduled in advance. Staff can confirm if a named person is in custody.
According to dcr.hawaii.gov, MCCC posts visitation rules, mail info, and deposit limits on its facility page.

Maui Police Department Headquarters
Maui Police Department runs its main office at 55 Mahalani Street, Wailuku HI 96793. The main line is (808) 244-6400. Records can be reached at (808) 244-6355. Business hours run Monday through Friday, 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Wailuku headquarters handles arrest intake for the whole county, including Kahului, Kihei, Lahaina, Hana, and Molokai.
MPD Records handles police report copies, TRO service status, and arrest history questions. Reports are usually not released until the case is closed. That rule shapes a lot of Wailuku jail roster searches. A fresh booking shows up in custody, but the arrest report behind it may not be pulled for weeks. Fees are modest. Call ahead for the per-page cost.
Per mauicounty.gov/Police, the department posts district contacts, a tip line, and the online crash report request form.
The MPD page above is the front door for any Wailuku jail roster question that starts with a local arrest.
Note: MPD does not post a daily online arrest log the way HPD on Oahu does. Calls and written requests do more of the work on Maui.
How to Search Wailuku Jail Roster
There are a few clean ways to run a Wailuku jail roster check. Each one shows a different slice of custody data. Pick the tool that fits your need.
To run a Wailuku jail roster search, gather this info first:
- Full name of the person
- Date of birth if known
- Approximate arrest date
- Likely booking area on Maui
Start with VINELink. The Hawaii VINE portal includes MCCC custody data. Type a name to see facility, current hold, and release status. You can also register for free alerts. VINE is anonymous. It is the fastest free tool for the Wailuku jail roster.
Next, call MCCC at (808) 243-5101. Staff can confirm a named person in custody. Short calls work best. If the person was just arrested, give it a few hours for the booking to show in the system.
Third, check the Second Circuit Court. A filed charge ties the Wailuku jail roster entry to a case number and a judge. Use eCourt Kokua on the Hawaii State Judiciary site to pull case info online.
Second Circuit Court at Hoapili Hale
The Second Circuit Court serves Maui, Molokai, and Lanai. Hoapili Hale sits at 2145 Main Street, Wailuku HI 96793. The main phone is (808) 244-2800. The Legal Documents Division can be reached at (808) 244-2969. Public access terminals are open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Every new Wailuku jail roster booking feeds into this court. Initial appearances happen within 48 hours of arrest, not counting weekends or holidays. The judge sets bail, reads the charge, and schedules the next date. If bail is posted, the person leaves MCCC fast. If not, the Wailuku jail roster entry holds.
At the Legal Documents Division, you can pull a case file, read a charging document, and see the next hearing. Clerks cannot give legal advice. They can point you to courts.state.hi.us for forms and filing fees. eCourt Kokua is the online search tool. It covers criminal, civil, and family cases.
Maui County Public Records Portal
Maui County runs a public records portal for any non-police record tied to the Wailuku jail roster. The portal is at mauicounty.us/public-record-requests. Under UIPA, the county has 10 business days to respond to a request. Some requests take longer if the file is old or the search is broad.
The county portal page above is where you file a written request for records that sit outside the MPD Records Division.
The Office of the County Clerk also handles some record types. The direct line is (808) 270-7838. Under UIPA, you can ask for copies, inspection, or a fee waiver if the request is in the public interest. The Office of Information Practices sets the rules every state and county agency must follow.
For a statewide inmate search, use dcr.hawaii.gov. The DCR site links every community correctional center, including MCCC, so a missing Wailuku jail roster hit can be traced to another island fast.
The statewide VINE tool shown above covers every Wailuku jail roster entry that lives inside a state correctional facility.
Booking Process at MCCC
Booking at MCCC follows a set order. First, officers bring the person in through the intake gate. Staff check for weapons, drugs, or other items. Next come fingerprints and photos. The print card goes to state and federal systems for a match check. The photo, or mugshot, joins the internal case file.
Staff then collect personal info. Name, date of birth, address, race, sex, height, weight, tattoos, and scars all go into the booking record. A health screen runs at the same time. Any medical or mental health flag is noted. Property is logged and stored. The person gets a short call, usually to a family member or an attorney.
At the end, the booking is closed and the Wailuku jail roster is updated. Most bookings clear intake in two to four hours. The speed drops if the jail is full or if medical issues come up. For a federal arrest, the path is different. A federal booking goes through the BOP inmate locator, not the state roster.
Wailuku Jail Roster Laws
Three legal sources shape the Wailuku jail roster. First, HRS Chapter 353 gives the state DCR the duty to keep records on every person in state custody. That duty is the legal base of the roster at MCCC and at every other community correctional center.
Second, the Uniform Information Practices Act, HRS Chapter 92F, sets the public access rules. Most booking info is open. Some data is held back for privacy or safety. The Office of Information Practices handles appeals when an agency says no to a UIPA request. Juvenile data is almost always sealed.
Third, HAR 2-71-19 covers arrest record access at the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center. For a name-based or print-based check, go to ag.hawaii.gov/hcjdc. HCJDC runs the official criminal history repository for the state. The Wailuku jail roster is a live snapshot. HCJDC is the long-term record.
Maui County Records
Wailuku is the county seat of Maui County. Every Wailuku jail roster entry is part of the wider Maui County custody system. For full county info, see the county page.
