This page explains how to search the jail roster, get directions, and use inmate services including the visitation schedule, account funding, mail, phone calls, voicemail, email and texting, tablet rentals, bail bonds, and commissary.

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.

The Santa Cruz County Adult Detention Center sits at 2170 N. Congress Drive in Nogales, AZ 85621, in the same complex as the Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office. Sheriff David Hathaway’s office runs it. The jail line is (520) 761-7874, and the Sheriff’s main office is (520) 761-7869. The building went up in 2010 next to the county’s juvenile facility and has 372 beds. It’s designed to hold both men and women, though most people inside are men. Besides people arrested in the county, it holds some state and federal detainees under agreements with those agencies. Most county inmates are waiting for their cases to finish; others are serving sentences of up to one year, or have been sentenced to prison and are waiting to move to the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry.

To confirm someone is in custody, call the jail, or search Arizona’s VINELink service, which also sends free alerts when a person’s custody status changes. A judge must hold an initial appearance within 24 hours of arrest, or the person has to be released. At that hearing, Arizona’s Rule 7.2 presumes release on the person’s own recognizance, and the judge adds conditions or money bail only when needed to make sure they return to court or to protect the victim or community. Many people walk out without paying anything. Under the Arizona Constitution, a judge can deny bail entirely, after a hearing, only for capital offenses and certain serious sexual offenses when the proof is evident or presumption great, for a felony committed while already on bail for a felony, or when the person is a substantial danger and no conditions would be enough. When money bail is set, it can be paid as a cash bond, a secured appearance bond or through a licensed bail bond agent. You can also be released on an unsecured bond. Bail can be posted at the jail or at the court that set it, by cash, money order, cashier’s check, e-check or credit card. Personal checks aren’t accepted, and there are hours when bail can’t be posted, so call the jail before you go.

To look up court records, use the Public Access to Court Information site. If you think you may have a warrant, call the Sheriff’s Office or an attorney first and plan how to turn yourself in.

The jail offers three kinds of visits, all run through Securus, and you need a Securus account approved by your loved one before booking. Face-to-face visits happen on Saturdays and Sundays between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. Each person gets one 20-minute visit a week, and you book it at least a day ahead by calling (520) 761-7875. On-site video visits run daily in time blocks between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., and the first one each week is free. Remote video visits from home cost $5.95 for 20 minutes or $10.95 for 40 minutes. Bring a government-issued photo ID. Children need a parent or legal guardian with a birth certificate or custody papers. Dress conservatively: no shorts, short skirts, sleeveless or low-cut tops, or clothing with gang, drug or violent images.

Mail goes to the person’s full name and ID number, Santa Cruz County Jail, 2170 N. Congress Drive, Nogales, AZ 85621. Postcards and letters are fine. Books must be softcover and come from a retailer or publisher. Access Corrections handles deposits online, by phone at (866) 345-1884, through the lobby kiosk or by money order. Access Securepak runs commissary, and Securus handles phone calls. All calls are recorded, so don’t discuss the case on the phone.

Most visitors drive. Nearby, JRS Jumpin Jack at 1931 N. Congress Drive and Fastrip at 1891 N. Grand Avenue both sell gas. Along Mariposa Road, Jack in the Box at 383 W. Mariposa Road is open 24 hours, and KFC is at 360 W. Mariposa Road.

Important: Advance Registration and Visitor Clearance Required

Detention centers do not permit unscheduled or unverified video sessions. Correctional facilities require prospective visitors to submit government-issued photo identification and receive administrative clearance before booking an appointment, an approval process that can take up to 48 hours depending on facility staffing. 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.
