Every detail on this page is checked by hand, not scraped. This unofficial directory helps friends and family of incarcerated individuals find critical information — inmate lists, locations, bail resources, visitation hours, rules, and text, phone, email, and mail services — for jails, detention centers, and prisons across the United States.
Whether it’s the middle of the night or the middle of the day, the 150-bed Graham County Detention Facility can be reached for inmate information at 928-792-5214.
Misdemeanor and felony arrests from across the county all come through this jail for booking and processing. If the charges warrant detention, the person stays until they are bonded out, released on their own recognizance, or held until a verdict is reached at trial.
Current inmates are listed in the roster available through the inmate search tool.
Sentenced to under a year? The time is served here in the county. Sentenced to more? The inmate goes to the Arizona State Prison System or the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
This page shows how to search the official jail roster, how to find the facility, and how to use inmate services such as the visitation schedule, inmate account deposits, mail, phone calls, voicemail, email and texting, tablet rentals, bail bond instructions, and commissary.
Hold on to the inmate’s jail ID or booking number, since mail and messaging usually require it. If it’s not online, call Graham County Detention Facility at 928-792-5214.

We’ve compiled a helpful list of Frequently Asked Questions and Answers about finding an inmate in the Graham County Detention Facility, how jail rosters work, and what happens after booking. For further assistance, call 928-792-5214.
The Graham County Detention Facility is licensed for 150 inmates, but it is often forced to make room for more, especially on weekends. Of the inmates at most city and county jails in Arizona, at least 40% turn over monthly, another 30% every 90 days, and another 20% every six months, while about 8-9% stay incarcerated six to twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges such as rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in Graham County remain in one of the Graham County facilities much longer.
In Arizona, release on the defendant’s own recognizance is the presumption under the court rules. Judges set bail only when that isn’t sufficient to ensure the person returns to court or to protect public safety. That means many people arrested in Arizona are released without paying anything.
Graham County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 3,000 offenders every year.
Graham County Detention Facility, located at 523 South 10th Avenue, Safford, Arizona, 85546, is reachable by phone at 928-792-5214. This jail has been operational since 1998. It has the capacity of 150 beds and processes about 1,365 bookings per year. On average, there are 330 bookings per month. The facility is supervised by a staff of over 26 civilian members, 16 correctional officers, staff supervisors, a jail program assistant, an assistant jail administrator, and the head of the jail.
If someone you care about was arrested in Safford, Thatcher, Pima or anywhere else in Graham County, they are almost certainly at the Graham County Adult Detention Facility, 600 W. Graham Canal Road, Safford, AZ 85546. The Graham County Sheriff’s Office runs it, and the main number, (928) 428-3141, is answered 24 hours a day. The 150-bed jail holds men and women who are awaiting trial along with people serving county sentences; like every Arizona county jail it also holds people sentenced to prison until the state picks them up. In June 2025 the jail earned Level 1 accreditation, the highest standard for Arizona jail operations, and it offers education programs, drug and alcohol treatment and around-the-clock mental health care. The sheriff posts a booking roster on the county website.
Arizona law (Rule of Criminal Procedure 4.1) gives the jail 24 hours to bring a newly booked person before a judge for an initial appearance; if that deadline passes, the person must be released. The judge starts from Rule 7.2’s presumption of release on recognizance, and many people leave without paying. When a judge does set money bail or conditions, it is to make sure the person returns to court or to protect a victim or the public, and the bond may be unsecured, cash, a secured appearance bond, or posted through a licensed bail bond agent. Holding someone with no bail at all is limited to the situations in Article 2, Section 22 of the Arizona Constitution and requires a hearing. For cash-only bonds the jail takes money orders only, no cash, and during business hours bonds must be posted at the court that set them. Look up court cases at Public Access to Court Information. If you think there’s a warrant, call the sheriff’s office or an attorney before going in.
In-person visits are scheduled by calling the jail. Each inmate gets one 30-minute on-site visit a week, and visitors coming from more than 100 miles away can ask for an hour. No more than two visitors may come at once, and anyone 12 or older counts as a visitor; people under 18 need an adult with them. Bring a current government photo ID, wear shorts or skirts no more than two inches above the knee, and skip tank tops, spaghetti straps and low-cut tops. Phones, bags, food and drinks stay outside. Visits pause during lockdowns from 7 to 8 a.m., noon to 1 p.m., and 5 to 6 p.m.
Phones, tablets, video visits and messaging changed on December 11, 2025, when the jail switched to NCIC Inmate Communications. Set up a prepaid account at ncic.com or (800) 943-2189. Messages cost $0.25 and photos $0.35. Since January 15, 2026, personal mail no longer goes to the jail. Send it to the inmate’s name and sheriff’s office number, with your return address, at PO Box 591, Longview, TX 75606, where it is scanned to the inmate’s tablet. Keep it to five single-sided pages of 8.5×11 paper and one photo; originals are not returned, and books, magazines, newspapers, and legal or medical mail are not accepted there. Add commissary money at the lobby kiosk, through Access Corrections or by calling (866) 345-1884; Access Securepak at (800) 546-6283 sells packages.
The jail is on the north side of Safford, and no public bus serves it, so most visitors drive. Gas and food are about two miles south in town: Speedway at 750 S. 8th Ave. and the Shell at 105 E. U.S. Hwy 70, and for food, Nana’s Kitchenette at 628 W. Main St. or Jack in the Box at 1991 W. Thatcher Blvd.
After arrest, individuals are processed at Graham County Detention Facility, where they undergo a series of steps that determine their charges and whether they’ll be released on their own recognizance, allowed to post bail, or held until their court date.
The first rule for anyone arrested is to remain silent. Anything they say can be used in court, so it’s best to speak only to an attorney about the incident.
Here are the typical stages of the booking process at Graham County Detention Facility:
Booking time varies, with some cases completed in an hour, but more complex cases, or those involving uncooperative behavior, can take up to 48 hours. If you need details about an offender’s bail or bond, contact the facility at 928-792-5214.
If someone is taken to Graham County Detention Facility in Safford for booking, the next steps depend on their case:
1. The individual may be released without bail, under a promise to appear at a court hearing.
