Gila County bail and bond: Globe, Payson, and who holds what

Gila County stretches from the copper towns around Globe to the pines of Payson, and a person arrested here may end up in either place. The main lockup is the Gila County Jail at 1100 South Street, Globe, AZ 85501, run by the Gila County Sheriff's Office. Its phone is 928-402-8666. A smaller holding facility sits in Payson at 928-468-2835 (108 West Main Street, Suite A, Payson, AZ 85541). The judge sets the bond; the Clerk (1400 East Ash Street, Globe, AZ 85501, 928-425-3231) of the Superior Court's office keeps the court papers. To learn if the person is held in Globe or Payson, try Gila County Inmate Search.

1. Is my family member in the Globe jail or the Payson one?

Start with Gila County Inmate Search. If the name does not show, call 928-402-8666 and ask the desk where the person was booked. Payson arrests may be held at the Payson facility on West Main Street, 928-468-2835 (108 West Main Street, Suite A, Payson, AZ 85541), before any move to Globe. Keep the legal name and birthday handy. A brand-new booking may lag online by several hours.

The Gila County Jail handles this locally from 1100 South Street, Globe, AZ 85501; its number is 928-402-8666.

2. What is the first call to make?

Call the jail (1100 South Street, Globe, AZ 85501) at 928-402-8666. Ask four things: the charge, the amount of bail if one is set, the next court date, and if some other agency holds the person. Note the booking number and the staff member's name. The sheriff's office line is 928-402-4373.

↑ Back to the questions

3. How fast does a judge see my relative?

Arizona court rule 4.1 calls for a judge to see the person fast, within 24 hours of arrest. Release terms are set at that hearing. Ask the court clerk at 928-425-3231 (1400 East Ash Street, Globe, AZ 85501) what time the daily hearing is held. If that line rings out, the state court directory lists a second clerk number, 928-402-8866.

↑ Back to the questions

4. Why is no bail amount showing?

Maybe the hearing hasn't taken place so far. Before picking a release type, a Globe judge weighs the charge, the record, local roots and any past no-shows. They may pick a promise to appear, set conditions, or ask for money. Call 928-402-8666 (1100 South Street, Globe, AZ 85501) each morning until a number appears. Only the court sets that number.

↑ Back to the questions

5. Can the judge say no to any bail at all?

Yes, in limited cases. Article 2, Section 22 of the Arizona Constitution and A.R.S. 13-3961 allow it for capital crimes, sexual assault, and certain child sex crimes when the proof is evident or the presumption great. On other felonies, prosecutors need a hearing and solid proof the person is dangerous. Holds from probation or another county can keep someone in too, and the jail (1100 South Street, Globe, AZ 85501, 928-402-8666) desk can say which one is in play.

6. What is the difference between the two courthouses?

The Globe courthouse at 1400 East Ash Street, third floor, Globe, AZ 85501, takes superior court filings at 928-425-3231, open 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on weekdays. The Payson courthouse at 714 South Beeline Highway, Suite 104, Payson, AZ 85541, answers at 928-474-3978 and closes from noon to 1:00 p.m. A felony may be handled at either. Ask which one holds your relative's file before you drive.

↑ Back to the questions

7. Where do the justice and city courts fit in?

Misdemeanors and early felony hearings go to a lower court. Globe Regional Justice Court sits at 1400 East Ash Street, first floor, Globe, AZ 85501, 928-425-3231. Payson Regional Justice Court is at 100 North Tonto Street, Suite 100, Payson, AZ 85541, 928-474-5267. Globe Municipal Court is at 150 North Pine Street, Globe, AZ 85501, 928-425-0471. Hayden Municipal Court is 520-356-7801, and Winkelman Municipal Court (206 Giffin Avenue, Winkelman, AZ 85292) is 520-356-7854.

8. Where in Gila County is bail money paid?

Ask the jail at 928-402-8666 whether payment goes to the jail lobby, the clerk (1400 East Ash Street, Globe, AZ 85501, 928-425-3231), or the court that set the amount, and what hours apply. The Globe jail (1100 South Street, Globe, AZ 85501) desk is staffed at all hours, but the clerk's counter is not. Carry photo ID plus the booking number, and keep a receipt listing the case number and court.

↑ Back to the questions

9. Which forms of payment work here?

The jail (1100 South Street, Globe, AZ 85501) or clerk can say what they take for a set bond. Bills, a bank check or a money order tend to be the safest bet. Do not assume a card works, and ask about any fee before you hand it over. If a stranger asks you to send an app payment for a bail, call 928-402-8666 instead.

↑ Back to the questions

10. Is a bondsman required?

Only sometimes. When the judge releases on a signed pledge or on conditions, skip the agent. Hiring one? First confirm the license with the state's insurance regulator. Get the fee, the collateral, any refund and the no-show terms on paper. An agent can surrender the person to the sheriff under A.R.S. 13-3974.

↑ Back to the questions

11. Is property allowed as bond?

Sometimes. The court decides whether the property is good enough. Ask the clerk (1400 East Ash Street, Globe, AZ 85501) at 928-425-3231 how the court values it, whether land outside Gila County counts, and how long the paperwork takes. Expect to show the deed plus a current tax bill, and every owner named on it must join in.

↑ Back to the questions

12. Can the bond be lowered?

Counsel can file for a fresh look at the terms. Under Rule 7.4, the judge can revisit bail when facts change or the amount is simply unaffordable. Misdemeanor requests get an answer within 10 days after that hearing. Deputies at the jail (1100 South Street, Globe, AZ 85501, 928-402-8666) must carry out a judge's order as written.

↑ Back to the questions

13. Can the county provide a lawyer?

Someone who lacks the funds for counsel should raise it at that first appearance, and the judge rules on who qualifies. For the name of the lawyer assigned in Gila County, call the Clerk of the Superior Court (1400 East Ash Street, Globe, AZ 85501) at 928-425-3231 in Globe or 928-474-3978 in Payson. Have the case number ready.

↑ Back to the questions

14. What if the arrest happened on the San Carlos Apache reservation?

Tribal officers handle many cases on tribal land. The San Carlos Apache Police Department (99 Medicine Way, Peridot, AZ 85542), answers at 928-475-1700. Ask whether the person was held under tribal law, state law, or both, because that decides which court has the case and how release works.

↑ Back to the questions

15. Where does Gila County hold a juvenile who is detained?

The Globe youth lockup has shut down. The county's juvenile probation department now places kids who need detention in Pinal County's youth center in Florence, under an agreement with Pinal County. A juvenile is not bailed out the way an adult is; the juvenile judge decides. Call juvenile court in Globe at 928-425-3231 (1400 East Ash Street, Globe, AZ 85501) for the child's location and hearing date.

↑ Back to the questions

16. Does jail account money help someone get out?

No, that money serves a different purpose. Deposits to a jail account pay for phone calls and commissary. They do not count toward bail. The jail's deposit vendor is a separate system from the court. Never pay a bond to an account number given by a caller.

↑ Back to the questions

17. What follows a missed Gila County court date?

Globe judges tend to issue a warrant, and the bond is at risk. Under Rule 7.6, the judge holds a hearing within 120 days of the warrant before taking the bond. Reach the clerk (1400 East Ash Street, Globe, AZ 85501, 928-425-3231) that day and get a lawyer moving, because posted cash is on the line.

↑ Back to the questions

18. Is the bond money returned?

If the person went to every court date, the court normally returns a cash bond when it is exonerated, unless it is applied to fines or other costs the depositor allowed. Keep the receipt. A bail agent's fee is a different payment, so ask the agent about it before you sign.

19. My son was picked up by federal officers in Gila County. Can I pay bail in Globe?

Bail on a federal charge goes only to federal court, outside Globe and Payson. Those cases belong to the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona, which sits in Phoenix for this county. Things usually go this way:

  • He is brought to Phoenix federal courthouse, 401 West Washington Street, Phoenix, AZ 85003 (clerk 602-322-7200) and sees a magistrate judge.
  • Pretrial services talks with him and the family about his job, home and record.
  • The judge decides on release terms, or prosecutors ask for a detention hearing.
  • Federal court handles any bond, beyond the reach of local bondsmen.

Until the case is over, the Marshals decide which jail holds him. Their Phoenix office is U.S. Marshals Service, 401 West Washington Street, Suite 270, Phoenix, AZ 85003, 602-382-8768.

20. Will an immigration detainer keep someone in the Globe jail after bond is posted?

It might add time. ICE can send a detainer under 8 CFR 287.7 asking the jail to hold a person up to 48 hours after they would otherwise be released. A.R.S. 11-1051 forbids Arizona counties from blocking immigration enforcement, though it doesn't order a hold. Gila County has no public 287(g) agreement, so ask the jail (1100 South Street, Globe, AZ 85501, 928-402-8666) what it does with a detainer.

The bond still covers the Gila case. If ICE takes custody, those court dates still stand. The ICE Phoenix Field Office, 2035 North Central Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85004, 602-257-5900 handles this area, and detainees often go to:

  • Eloy Detention Center: 1705 East Hanna Road, Eloy, AZ 85131 · 520-464-3000
  • Florence Service Processing Center: 3250 North Pinal Parkway, Florence, AZ 85132 · 520-868-5862
  • Central Arizona Florence Correctional Center: 1155 North Pinal Parkway, Florence, AZ 85132 · 520-868-9095

21. How can I confirm where my son is held before spending money?

Go through these five lookups:

  • Gila jail (1100 South Street, Globe, AZ 85501, 928-402-8666): Gila County Inmate Search. Search his name; Globe and Payson bookings both show up.
  • VINE: VINELink (https://vinelink.vineapps.com/). Pick Arizona and type his name for current custody, or register for a text when he is released.
  • Federal: Federal Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator (320 First Street NW, Washington, DC 20534, 202-307-3198) (https://www.bop.gov/inmateloc/). A register number gives the best match; if he hasn't been sentenced, ring the Marshals at 602-382-8768 (401 West Washington Street, Suite 270, Phoenix, AZ 85003).
  • State prison: ADCRR Inmate Data Search (701 East Jefferson Street, Phoenix, AZ 85034, 602-542-5497) (https://inmatedatasearch.azcorrections.gov/). His ADCRR number or last name brings up the unit.
  • ICE: ICE Online Detainee Locator System (https://locator.ice.gov/odls/). Put in the A-number and birth country. A blank result two days later means a call to 602-257-5900 (2035 North Central Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85004).

22. Before paying, which Gila courthouse can I phone to confirm the amount?

Call Globe for most felony cases or the Payson office for cases filed up north:

  • Globe courthouse (Superior Court): 1400 East Ash Street, Globe, AZ 85501 · 928-425-3231
  • Payson Superior Court office: 714 South Beeline Highway, Suite 104, Payson, AZ 85541 · 928-474-3978
