Have questions about finding an inmate in the Prescott Detention Center? Our Frequently Asked Questions and Answers cover how jail rosters work and what happens after an arrest and booking. For anything else, call 928-771-3260.

The Prescott Detention Center is licensed for 152 inmates, but it often has to make room for many more, especially on weekends. Forty percent or more of the inmate population at most city and county jails in Arizona turns over monthly, another 30% every 90 days, and another 20% every six months, with about 8-9% staying 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 Yavapai County remain in custody at one of the Yavapai County facilities much longer.

Many people arrested in Arizona are released without paying anything. Arizona’s court rules start from the presumption that a defendant is released on their own recognizance, and judges set bail only when that isn’t enough to ensure the person returns to court or to protect public safety.

Yavapai County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 17,520 offenders every year.

Once you schedule a visit with your inmate they will be notified of the date and time of the visit.

Important Tips:
Your entire visit is being monitored and recorded. Do not say or do anything that you would not want being replayed in court.
You should schedule your visit, in advance, at a time that works best for you.
