Located at 10000 S Wilmot Rd in Tucson, AZ, ADCRR-Tucson carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. ADCRR-Tucson offers diverse educational and vocational programs aimed at equipping offenders for successful reintegration into society and reducing recidivism. Through these initiatives, inmates gain skills and confidence, fostering personal growth and resilience.

The Arizona Department of Corrections (ADCRR)-Tucson main complex, one of the 13 prison facilities operated by the state, accommodates approximately 4,360 inmates across seven housing units and three special housing units. The facility employs a score classification system to determine the appropriate custody and security level for each inmate, with scores ranging from 1 to 5, with 5 indicating the highest risk or need. Housing inmates of security levels 2, 3, 4, and 5, ADCRR-Tucson serves as a minimum to high-security prison. ADCRR-Tuscon's units are the Catalina Unit, the Cimarron Unit, the Manzanita Unit, the Santa Rita Unit, the Whetstone Unit, and the Winchester Unit.

ADCRR-Tucson, formerly known as the Arizona Correctional Training Facility, traces its origins back to January 1978 when its first phase opened. By August 1979, the facility was fully operational, initially housing 384 non-violent male first offenders aged 18–25. Additionally, a separate unit was designated to accommodate juvenile males convicted as adults, a practice that continues to this day. The Santa Rita Unit, established in 1982, received its first inmates in July of that year.

The expansion efforts of 1986-87 led to the creation of the 744-bed Cimarron Unit, marking the establishment of the Tucson Complex. Furthermore, 200 beds were added to the Echo Unit during this period.

Work programs play a significant role within ADCRR-Tucson, with approximately 28 inmates participating in off-complex work crews under an Intergovernmental Agreement. These crews engage in various tasks, including call center operations, Arizona Department of Transportation work, wildland fire crews, and maintenance work at Kartchner Caverns State Park. Additionally, inmates within the secure perimeter are allocated a Work Incentive Pay Plan (WIPP) budget, allowing over 1,900 inmates to work in roles ranging from labor to semi-skilled and skilled positions, with some participating in vocational education classes.

Education programs are also a focal point at ASPC-Tucson, with around 30% of inmates participating in some form of education out of the total population of approximately 5,000. Among the programs offered are High School, GED, and Mandatory Literacy, catering to the diverse educational needs of the inmate population. Additionally, the Career and Technical Education (CTE) program provides opportunities in automotive, computers, construction, electrical, and HVAC fields, along with access to distance learning and Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) programs. These initiatives aim to equip inmates with valuable skills and knowledge to facilitate their successful reintegration into society upon release.
