Santa Cruz County Jail Inmate Search

We’ve answered common questions about finding an inmate in the Santa Cruz County Jail, how jail rosters work, and what happens after an offender is arrested and booked in our Frequently Asked Questions and Answers. Still need help? Call 520-761-7874.

The Santa Cruz County Jail is licensed for 372 inmates at any given time, but it is often forced to make room for many more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in Arizona turn over at least 40% of their inmate population every month, with another 30% turning over every 90 days and another 20% every six months. About 8-9% stay incarcerated 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 Santa Cruz County remain in custody at one of the Santa Cruz County facilities much longer.

The starting presumption under Arizona’s court rules is that a defendant is released on their own recognizance. Judges set bail only when that isn’t enough to ensure the defendant returns to court or to protect public safety, so many people arrested in Arizona are released without paying anything.

Each year, Santa Cruz County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 8,080 offenders.

How to post bail for a loved one in Santa Cruz County

Once booked at Santa Cruz County Jail in Nogales, the individual has several possible outcomes:

1. Release without posting bail, with a commitment to appear in court.
2. Remaining in custody until their court date.
3. Posting bail or bond for release. For the exact amount, call 520-761-7874.

Several payment methods are available for bail.

• Cash bonds are settled in full at the jail's bonding window or the clerk of court with cash, a cashier's check or a money order, and card payments are often available at a lobby kiosk or through an online bond vendor for a fee; bring the inmate's full name and booking number, and the jail can be reached at 520-761-7874.
• Licensed bail bondsmen in Santa Cruz County can assist with the process.
• Many courts accept land or a house as bond collateral; the owner proves clear title and equity worth at least the bond amount, often double, with a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value, and the court that set bail approves the property.

Important: Advance Registration and Visitor Clearance Required

Detention centers do not permit unscheduled or unverified video sessions.

You should verify your visitor approval status with the facility prior to scheduling. If you do not register well in advance, you will miss your loved one's scheduled visiting window for the week.

Step-by-Step Instructions to Register and Schedule a Video Visit

• Visit securustech.online or open the Securus mobile app.
• Register your account and upload a clear photograph of your government-issued ID (driver's license or passport) for facility background review.
• Wait for email confirmation indicating that facility administration has granted visitor approval.
• Select Schedule a Visit, choose your detention facility, and select the inmate.
• Browse the available schedule calendar, select an open 20- or 30-minute time slot, and pay the fee using a credit or debit card.
• Log into the website or app 10 minutes prior to the start time on a device with a functioning camera, microphone, and reliable high-speed internet connection.

What the Inmate Needs to Do

The inmate receives an alert on their housing unit video kiosk or personal tablet. At the scheduled time, they log in with their PIN and sit in front of the terminal. Inmates and visitors must strictly observe jail dress and conduct rules; sessions are monitored by staff and will terminate immediately upon any violation.
