The Chandler City Jail is licensed for 10 inmates, but it is often forced to make room for many more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in Arizona turn over their population on this schedule:
- At least 40% monthly
- Another 30% every 90 days
- Another 20% every six months
- About 8-9% remain six to twelve months
Offenders 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 Maricopa County remain in custody at one of the Maricopa County facilities much longer.
In Arizona, bail isn’t automatic. The court rules start from the presumption that a defendant is released on their own recognizance, and judges set bail only when that isn’t enough to ensure the person returns to court or to protect public safety. Many people arrested in Arizona are released without paying anything.
Every year, approximately 217,860 offenders are arrested and detained by Maricopa County law enforcement agencies.
