City police often take a while to finish reports and drive to Florence, which can be an hour from San Tan Valley or Maricopa. After that comes booking itself. Give it a few hours, then call 520-866-5111 (971 North Jason Lopez Circle, Building C, Florence, AZ 85132). Also ask the arresting city whether the person got a citation and went home.

For many misdemeanors, officers in Arizona can hand the person a notice to appear and release them. The court date will be in a city court or one of Pinal's justice courts (575 N Idaho Road, Suite 200, Apache Junction, AZ 85119, 480-982-2921; in Casa Grande at 820 E Cottonwood Lane County Complex, Casa Grande, AZ 85122, 520-866-7475; in Central Pinal at 119 W Central Avenue, Coolidge, AZ 85128, 520-866-7900; in Copper Corridor at 60 E Main Street, Superior, AZ 85173, 520-866-7475; in Pioneer at 3675 E Hunt Highway, San Tan Valley, AZ 85143, 480-380-7312; in Western Pinal at 19955 N Wilson Avenue, Maricopa, AZ 85132, 520-866-3999).

Arizona requires an initial appearance within 24 hours of the arrest. Pinal runs these hearings every day, many over jail video. Charges are reviewed, counsel is discussed and release rules are set.

The starting point in Arizona is release on a promise to come back. A judge adds more only if needed: a bond, check-ins with pretrial services, a GPS monitor, or a stay-away order. A small set of very serious charges may be held without bond after a separate hearing. Our Pinal bond guide explains cash and surety bonds.

Federal agents from agencies like the ATF, Homeland Security Investigations or the Marshals Service handle federal arrests, sometimes alongside deputies. The county has private detention centers that hold people for the U.S. Marshals and for ICE, and those people stay off the county roster. Federal cases from this area land in the Phoenix Division (District of Arizona), which meets in Phoenix: 401 West Washington Street, Phoenix, AZ 85003. With questions, call the clerk at 602-322-7200. Within a day or so, the person sees a magistrate judge. There will be an interview from a pretrial services officer before court. The federal system uses no bail chart. A judge decides whether they can leave at a bail hearing under the 1984 Bail Reform Act.

• ICE learns about an arrest through fingerprints deputies send. Then ICE might send a detainer.
• Even with bond paid, the ICE hold stays in place.
• Under a detainer, ICE wants the Florence jail (971 North Jason Lopez Circle, Florence, AZ 85132, 520-866-5058) to hold the person up to 48 hours after they would otherwise be released. Once those 48 hours end, the detainer runs out.
• ICE officers usually collect them during the hold. If ICE skips the pickup, that should mean the person goes free.
• Transfers between centers happen, so check the ICE locator every few days with their A-number and birth country. Without the A-number? Type in DOB, nation of birth and the person's full name instead.
• The agency chooses the detention center, and plans can change.
• For help, contact ICE's Phoenix field office at 602-257-5900. Address: 2035 North Central Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85004.

Anyone sentenced to state prison will do that time under Arizona's corrections department (ADCRR (701 East Jefferson Street, Phoenix, AZ 85034, 602-542-5497)). The person waits in the Florence jail (971 North Jason Lopez Circle, Florence, AZ 85132, 520-866-5058) until the ADCRR picks them up. The ride lands them at intake, where new arrivals are checked in.
