Pima County jail inmate search

You can find people held at the Pima County Adult Detention Center through the Pima County Sheriff Department lookup. Staff update this tool regularly. Enter the person's last name and press the lookup button.

The list shows people awaiting trial, serving a sentence, or held for another jurisdiction, which is an outside court or agency.

When officers bring people to 1270 West Silverlake Road, records at the Pima County Adult Detention Complex are updated regularly. A second facility, the Ajo District Jail, sits at 1249 W. Ajo Well Road.

Intake paperwork takes time, so a recent arrest might not show online yet. Call (520) 351-8111 or (520) 387-8511 to check with staff.

The Pima County Sheriff's Department runs both county jails and the online custody lookup. Once someone is booked, their record stays in the sheriff's system. Find other county rosters on the Arizona inmate search page.

All visits are by video through the GTL and ViaPath GettingOut system. The Inmate Visitation page notes that visits begin after the first court appearance and permanent housing assignment.

A bond is money or a financial promise guaranteeing a person will return for court. Judges can also grant release on own recognizance, a written promise to appear without paying money. See the how bail works guide for details.
