Pinal County Jail Overview
The Pinal County Adult Detention Center is operated by the Pinal County Sheriff's Office. The jail sits in Florence within the county government and corrections area, which can confuse families because several state and immigration facilities are also nearby. The Pinal jail is the local booking and county custody facility. A person arrested by PCSO, a municipal police department, or another local agency may be brought here if the person is not released at the arresting agency or by the court.
The county's Adult Detention material describes the jail as a facility for people who have been arrested, charged, and are waiting for disposition in the criminal justice system. It also houses people sentenced to serve county jail time. That means the jail roster is not a statewide prison locator. Once a person is sentenced and transferred to the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation & Reentry, the Pinal County jail listing may no longer show that person.
The county's Adult Detention page is the operational starting point for jail information. It links users toward inmate services, visitation, TouchPay, records, and the sheriff's inmate search. The Adult Detention directory gives the official contact block for the jail.
The official Pinal Adult Detention page is shown in the screenshot below.
The page is useful because it routes custody, visitation, records, and payment questions through county-operated links instead of third-party jail sites.
Pinal County Jail Capacity
Pinal County reports that the Adult Detention Center averages about 600 inmates per day and has a rated capacity of 1,503. The same county overview says the facility is the third-largest county jail in Arizona and falls in the Large Jail Category under National Institute of Corrections terminology. Those figures describe the county jail only. They do not include the sentenced state-prison population or people held at ICE facilities in Florence and Eloy.
The jail opened on April 1, 1996 with 472 beds. A July 2006 expansion added 1,031 beds, which the county linked to rapid Pinal County growth. The county also says the jail was selected as a National Sheriffs' Association Jail Operations accreditation pilot site, received its first accreditation in June 2011, and was reaccredited in December 2013 with a Level 1 rating.

Use the Pinal Jail Roster
The correct online lookup for this facility is the Pinal County Sheriff Inmate Search. The public form has one visible field for LAST NAME or INMATE ID. The roster disclaimer says it lists people currently incarcerated in the Pinal County Jail, updates every 60 minutes, and drops people from the listing after release. Inclusion on the roster is not proof of guilt.
Use the jail roster for current county custody. Do not use the county jail roster to search for sentenced Arizona state prisoners, ICE detainees, or BOP prisoners. If the person moved to ADCRR after sentencing, search the ADCRR Inmate Data Search. If the person is in immigration custody, use ICE ODLS and the direct facility phone number.
- Open the Pinal County Sheriff Inmate Search.
- Enter the person's last name or inmate ID in the single search field.
- Select Search and review the result card for name, image slot, and inmate ID.
- If there is no match, check spelling and allow for the 60-minute update cycle.
- Call 520-509-7957 for court dates, bond amounts, or other inmate services when the roster is not enough.
| Field | How It Works |
|---|---|
| Last name | Search by family name when the inmate ID is unknown. |
| Inmate ID | Use the local jail identifier when available. |
| Image slot | Public results may show an image area, but inspected samples showed no-photo placeholders. |
| Charges or bond | Not visible in the captured result cards; call the inmate-services line or check court records. |
Pinal Jail Address and Contact
Use the jail contact channels for custody, property, account, victim-rights, and inmate phone questions. The Adult Detention page also gives a separate prompt line for court dates, bond amounts, and other inmate services. When calling, have the person's name, date of birth if known, and inmate ID if the roster provides one.

Pinal County Jail Visits
Pinal County uses video visitation. The official visitation page says onsite personal and public video visitation is closed until further notice because of construction, while remote offsite video visits remain available. Public video visits must be scheduled in advance when available. Visitors must be at least 18 unless visiting as a minor child with a parent or legal guardian, and adults need valid state-issued photo ID with date of birth.
Visitors are screened. Pending felony charges can lead to denial. The jail restricts personal property, food, drink, gum, tobacco, hats, sunglasses, purses, cell phones, and electronic devices in visitation areas. Clothing must be clean and in good repair, and the visitation page lists restrictions on shorts, skirts, tank tops, halter tops, spaghetti straps, midriff shirts, and see-through clothing.
| Visit Type | Days and Hours | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Public video visitation | Saturday-Thursday, 9 a.m.-4 p.m. | Schedule 24 hours in advance; Fridays closed to public visitation. |
| Onsite public video | Currently closed | Closed until further notice due to construction. |
| Remote offsite video | No published limit | $6 for 20 minutes; no published limit on number of remote visits. |
| Professional contact visits | Generally Monday-Sunday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. | Construction notice limits onsite professional contact visits and property pickup to Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-4 p.m., with stated court exceptions. |
Pinal Jail Mail and Money
Mail for people in the Pinal County Adult Detention Center uses the jail's P.O. Box in Florence. The research did not locate a full official envelope format, book policy, scan policy, or mail rejection table. Use the directory mailing address, then confirm current mail rules with Adult Detention before sending photos, books, money orders, or legal mail.
Pinal links TouchPay from the sheriff and detention context for inmate services. The official research also found property and inmate account phone numbers, but it did not extract a complete fee table from the TouchPay instructions. Do not rely on unofficial payment links. Use the county site, TouchPay, or the jail account line.
| Service | Provider or Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail address | P.O. Box 2610, Florence, AZ 85132 |
| Phone service | Inmate phone questions: 800-844-6591 |
| Money deposit | TouchPay, linked from Pinal Sheriff context; fees not fully extracted in research |
| Property and accounts | 520-866-5055 or 520-866-5079 |
Pinal Jail Records Requests
For copies of jail or sheriff records, use the PCSO Records Unit rather than the inmate search page. The Records Unit says it follows Title 39 of the Arizona Revised Statutes and offers online requests through the sheriff's GovQA portal or in-person access by appointment. The public window is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and phone inquiries run from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., excluding holidays.
Fees are format-specific. PCSO lists $7.50 for reports up to page 25, then $0.25 per added page, $5 for CAD calls, $15 for a CD of photos, audio, video, or 911 material, and $5 for fingerprints during listed weekday hours. A custody search, a booking record, and a court case record are different records. For the broader current-custody process, see Pinal County jail inmate records.
Note: Released people no longer appear in the Pinal jail roster, so older booking records usually require the records-request route.
Pinal Jail Booking and Intake
The county did not publish a full step-by-step booking manual in the captured sources, but the jail's role is clear. Local arrests or court commitments can lead to transport to Adult Detention, identity checks, property intake, medical screening, classification, and a roster entry after the person is entered into the inmate database. The public roster then updates on the next scheduled update.
Medical services are provided by Pinal County Jail Health, a division of Pinal County Health and Human Services. The county says intake includes initial medical screening by medical staff, 24-hour medical staffing, daily sick call, and full-time nurse practitioner availability. Food and commissary are handled by a contract provider, and the county states daily meals are nutritionally balanced and contain 2,800 calories.
About Pinal Adult Detention
Pinal County Adult Detention is part of a larger detention ecosystem in Florence and Eloy. Nearby facilities may be ADCRR prisons, private state-contract prisons, or ICE detention centers. That geography is why the lookup system matters. A person booked on a local arrest starts with the Pinal Sheriff inmate search. A sentenced state prisoner belongs in ADCRR search. An immigration detainee belongs in ICE ODLS plus the facility phone fallback.
The jail's official materials also document religious services, medical services, and reentry work. The Reentry Program material describes support with housing, employment, identification, treatment, and transition planning. These program notes do not replace custody status, bond, or court information, but they help explain why some jail calls are routed through inmate services, accounts, property, records, or court channels.
Note: Confirm custody and current visit status before traveling, because construction has changed onsite access at Adult Detention.
