IMPORTANT INFORMATION
All on-site visitors are to report to the Main Jail Front Desk, located at 1270 W. Silverlake Road, Tucson, AZ
All on-site visitors must report to the Main Jail Front Desk at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled visitation time.
All on-site visitors must have valid photo identification with date of birth and current address:
All visits will start and end at the scheduled times, regardless of arrival time.
Late arrival of 15 minutes or more will result in the cancellation of the visit.
Each inmate is allowed one 30 minute visit per calendar week.
Four visitors including children are allowed to visit the inmate during a visit.
All visitation is subject to unforeseen lock-down and other situations which may postpone or cancel all visitation.
Inmates who are on disciplinary lockdown are not permitted visitation.
There is no charge for lockers. You will be asked to properly secure your belongings prior to starting your visit.
Juvenile inmates cannot receive visits until after 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, but are allowed visits during regular hours on Saturday and Sunday.
LONG DISTANCE VISITORS
Special visits may be arranged, at the jail's convenience for family and friends who live outside a 100 mile radius of the jail and are only in town for a limited time.
These special visits are scheduled on a one-time basis and cannot be used as an additional visit.
The best way to request a special visit is to schedule a normal visit for the date and time you would like your visit to take place.
After you scheduled your visit, call the Jail Visits Hotline at (520)351-8114 and request that your scheduled visit be extended.
Please make sure you leave your full name, the date and time of the scheduled visit, the confirmation number, and a phone number you can be reached at.
Someone will call you back to assist you.
Video visitation, also known as remote visitation, is quickly becoming the preferred method for visiting an inmate in jail or prison for the following reasons:
• It requires little to no staff, versus the staff required to move inmates to and from the visit and watch over the visit. It saves the Ajo District Jail money.
• It removes any opportunity for contraband (drugs) to enter the facility.
• It can become a profit center for the facility, given that the revenue generated by visits is shared with the jail.
• While inmates prefer to see family and friends in person, video visitation allows them to visit with them more often, and on a whim.
• Video visitation gives the inmates and their visitors the feeling of more privacy.
Video visitation from the perspective of the visitor allows them to visit from their home, their car, at work, and even allows them to take their device to a family or religious gathering. It allows them to give their inmate the feeling of belonging and not being forgotten.
Video visitation can take place on a computer, a tablet or a phone.
Video visitation saves time. Instead of spending hours driving to the jail, checking in, filling out paperwork, potentially being searched, waiting, and then having a 15–30-minute visit, if it isn’t cancelled at the last minute, the visit can be done from anywhere during a short break in the visitor’s day.
If the visitor does not have access to a phone or computer, they can make an appointment ahead of time and use terminals in the lobby of the jail.
You must also be on the inmate's approved list, even for a video visit.
There are several different companies that contract with all the jails and prisons that allow video visitation:
