The Mesa City Jail is licensed for 50 inmates at any given time, but it is often forced to make room for many more, especially on weekends. At most city and county jails in Arizona, at least 40% of inmates turn over each month, another 30% every 90 days, another 20% every six months, and approximately 8-9% remain in custody between six and twelve months.
