By the numbers, the Mohave County Jail:
- Is licensed for 600 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 Mohave County remain in custody at one of the Mohave 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, Mohave County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 12,640 offenders.
Mohave County Jail is located on 501 South Highway 66, Kingman AZ and while it has a capacity of 688 beds, with the adult complex being six floors and the juvenile complex two floors, it was originally designed for future expansion to 1,100 beds. Three single-story buildings are also included, and the entire facility encompasses 242,000 square feet. The facility was built in 2010 for over $70 million.
This jail houses inmates from the Mohave County area, including the cities of Kingman, Lake Havasu, and Bullhead City, awaiting trial, those serving a sentence of under one year in length, and those with mental health issues. You can reach the jail 24 hours a day by calling 928-753-0759.
The Mohave County Jail, which the Sheriff’s Office also calls the Mohave County Adult Detention Facility, is the county’s adult jail at 501 South Highway 66 in Kingman. The Mohave County Sheriff’s Office operates it, and staff answer (928) 753-0759 24 hours a day for inmate information and bonding. Office staff work 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays. The phone menu sends callers to visitation (1), property and programs (2), warrants, extradition and holds (3), classification and work release (4), commissary (5), and charges, bonds and release (7). The jail holds men and women. Most are awaiting trial. Others are serving county sentences of up to one year or are sentenced to prison and waiting for transfer to the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry. The Sheriff’s Office has turned off its online inmate search to comply with recent court rulings, so call the jail to find out whether someone is there.
The clock starts at arrest: Arizona Rule of Criminal Procedure 4.1 requires an initial appearance before a judge within 24 hours, and a person who doesn’t get one in that time must be released. Release on recognizance is the starting presumption under Rule 7.2. A judge imposes bail or other conditions only when they’re needed to guarantee a return to court or to protect a victim or the community, so plenty of people go home without paying. Otherwise, release can come through an unsecured bond, a cash bond, a secured appearance bond, or a licensed bail bond agent. Arizona’s Constitution (Article 2, Section 22) allows no-bail holds only after a hearing, for capital offenses and certain serious sexual offenses when the proof is evident or the presumption great, for a felony committed while already on felony bail, or when someone is a substantial danger and no conditions would protect the community. The jail lobby stays open around the clock for the bond window and kiosk. Press 7 on the jail’s phone menu for charges, bonds and release.
Visits are scheduled through NCIC Correctional Services at ncic.com or (800) 943-2189. One NCIC account covers phones, tablets and visits. Remote visits run seven days a week from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and on-site visits run Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Every visit must be booked at least 24 hours ahead and is recorded and monitored. Times can vary by housing unit and change without notice, so press 1 on the jail’s line to confirm.
Kingman Area Regional Transit (KART) runs a Green Route covering Route 66 and downtown. Call KART at (928) 681-7433 for the stop nearest the jail. Most visitors drive. Chevron at 777 West Beale Street and Conoco at 932 West Beale Street are close for fuel, and Wendy’s at 920 West Beale Street and Mr D’z Route 66 Diner at 105 East Andy Devine Avenue are both nearby for a meal.
Personal mail goes to a scanning center, not the jail: inmate name and booking number, Mohave County Adult Detention Facility, PO Box 591, Longview, Texas 75606. Letters can be no larger than 8.5 by 11 inches and no more than five pages, written on one side only, with no more than one photo per mailing. Mail with more than one photo is returned. Scanned mail arrives on the inmate’s tablet. Don’t send books, magazines, newspapers, legal mail or medical mail to the Texas address. Money goes through TouchPay at gtlfsonlinepay.com or (866) 232-1899 (facility locator 286401), or at the kiosk in the jail lobby. To check for court cases or warrants, search apps.azcourts.gov/publicaccess, or press 3 on the jail’s line, and talk with an attorney or the Sheriff’s Office before you turn yourself in.

What should you know about the booking process at Mohave County Jail?
Once arrested, the person is taken to Mohave County Jail for booking, a process that confirms identity, assesses charges, and determines if they will be released on their own recognizance, posted for bail, or held until court.
Staying silent is key during this process, as anything spoken can be used as evidence in court. It’s best to wait for legal counsel before responding to questions.
Steps involved in booking at Mohave County Jail include:
- Confirming identity.
- Taking mugshots for record.
- Medical, mental health, and substance history questioning.
- DNA collection if applicable.
- Comprehensive physical search.
- Seizing personal property.
- Access to a free phone call.
To check on an offender’s bond amount, contact Mohave County Jail at 928-753-0759.
Steps to pay bail in Mohave County
After an arrest, individuals are brought to Mohave County Jail in Kingman for processing. Following this, three possible outcomes exist:
1. The individual may be released without posting bail, with a promise to appear in court.
2. The individual could be held in jail until their court date.
3. Bail or bond can be posted for release; for more information, contact 928-753-0759.
Bail payment can be handled through various means.
- Pay a cash bond in full at the bonding window inside the jail or at the clerk of court, by cash, cashier's check or money order; a lobby kiosk or online bond vendor often takes debit and credit cards for an extra fee, and you should bring the inmate's full name and booking number (the jail can be reached at 928-753-0759).
- Licensed bail bond agents in Mohave County are available for assistance.
- Land or a home can often serve as bond collateral: the owner provides a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value showing clear title and equity of at least the bond amount, commonly double, and the court that set bail approves the pledge.
