The ASPC Lewis – Eagle Point is a state prison located at 26700 S Hwy 85 in Buckeye, AZ in Maricopa County. This State – minimum security prison is operated by the Arizona Department of Corrections to hold inmates who have been convicted to and sentenced for a crime in the state of Arizona.

The inmates housed at the institution are placed according to their custody level (determined by a number of factors including the past criminal history and the length of their sentence). There are ample educational and vocational training programs for all inmates, especially ones that show a willingness to learn new things that will prepare them for a better life when they are released. Arizona's mission is to promote and prepare the offender to leave in better shape than when they arrived, giving them the best chance to never come back and thus lower the state's recidivism rate.

State facilities provide basic living standards to meet most of the inmate's needs, including dietary, health, fitness, education, religious practices, entertainment, and many others. Conditions in these prisons vary within the AZ DOC depend on many intersecting factors including the age of the buildings, the security level of the inmates and budget.

Work Incentive Pay Plan (WIPP): This program allows inmates to utilize experience and training in meaningful employment while supporting their needs.

INMATE EDUCATION PROGRAMS – The Education Department at ASPC-Lewis offers special education, mandatory literacy, GED preparation, vocational programs to inmates. Those inmates who for health and/or safety reasons cannot attend mandated state and/or federal programs with other inmates in a classroom setting are provided access to mandated programs individually through direct instruction, video/closed circuit instruction, and/or computer-assisted instruction. Inmates may also take college-level correspondence courses at their own expense, with onsite education staff assisting with materials and proctoring of required examinations. Academic and vocational programs provide delivery of services through a partnership between ASPC-Lewis Education staff and Rio Salado College. Library services are also maintained for inmates in support of literacy and academic initiatives.

Educators screen inmates for educational needs and identify the least restrictive environment in which those services can be offered in conjunction with offender classification and security staff. The Inmate Program Plan (IPP) process, once implemented, will provide an individualized schedule for each inmate for all appropriate programs, including education and library access on a daily basis. The curriculum materials, assessment materials, and library materials are made available to inmates in all units and managed within the restrictions of institutional security requirements.
