ADCRR-Tucson-Whetstone, situated within the Tucson state prison complex, operates as one of six inner detention pods, specifically designated as a medium-security custody facility for adult males. Work programs at ADCRR-Tucson, established under an Intergovernmental Agreement, are multifaceted initiatives aimed at inmate rehabilitation and skill-building.
