By the numbers, the Gila County Jail - Payson Substation:

• Is licensed for 24 inmates at any given time
• Often has to make room for many more, especially on weekends

At most city and county jails in Arizona, at least 40% of inmates turn over monthly, another 30% every 90 days, and another 20% every six months, while about 8-9% stay six to twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges like rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in Gila County remain in custody at one of the Gila County facilities much longer.

In Arizona, the court rules presume a defendant will be released on their own recognizance. A judge will set bail only when that isn’t enough to ensure the defendant returns to court or to protect public safety. Many people arrested in Arizona are released without paying anything.

Each year, Gila County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 3,480 offenders.

What are the bail options in Gila County after an arrest?

Once arrested, an individual may be brought to Gila County Jail - Payson Substation in Payson for processing. The next steps vary:

2. The individual could be held in jail until their hearing.
3. Posting bail or bond allows them to be released. Call 928-468-2835 to confirm the bail amount.

There are several ways to pay an individual’s bail.

• A cash bond is posted by paying the whole amount at the jail bonding window or the clerk's office with cash, a cashier's check or a money order, and many facilities also accept cards at a kiosk or through an online bond vendor for a fee; bring the inmate's full name and booking number, and the jail's line is 928-468-2835.
• Licensed bail bond agencies in Gila County can provide assistance.
• Courts in many places accept real property, such as land or a house, as bond collateral when the owner documents clear title and equity of at least the bond amount, often double, with a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value, and the court that set bail approves.
