You can call the 756-bed Yuma County Adult Detention Center 24 hours a day for inmate information at 928-782-9871.

This jail processes individuals arrested for misdemeanors and felonies. After booking and processing, inmates may be held until they are either bonded out, released on their own recognizance, or remain in custody until their trial is concluded.

The inmate search tool allows you to check the jail's roster and find out who is currently in custody.

Offenders serving less than one year will do their time here, while those sentenced to longer terms will be sent to either the Arizona State Prison System or the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

This page provides essential information, including the visitation schedule, how to fund an inmate's account, send mail, receive phone calls, voicemail, email and texting, tablet rentals, bail bonds, and commissary purchases.

Remember to save the inmate's jail ID or booking number for any communication needs. If you cannot locate it online, call Yuma County Adult Detention Center at 928-782-9871 for assistance.

The Yuma County Adult Detention Center holds a license for 756 inmates, but it often has to make room for many more offenders, especially on weekends. At most city and county jails in Arizona, at least 40% of the population turns over every month. Every 90 days, another 30% turns over, and every six months, another 20%. About 8-9% stay incarcerated between six and twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months are typically facing serious charges like rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in Yuma County remain in custody at one of the Yuma County facilities much longer.

Arizona’s court rules begin with the presumption that a defendant is released on their own recognizance, with no bail required. Judges set bail only when release on recognizance won’t ensure the person returns to court or won’t protect public safety. Many people arrested in Arizona are released without paying anything.

Every year, Yuma County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 16,320 offenders.

About the Yuma County Adult Detention Center

The Yuma County Detention Center at 200 W. Court Street in downtown Yuma, AZ 85364, is the Yuma County Sheriff’s Office’s maximum-security jail for the whole county, including San Luis, Somerton and Wellton. The detention center’s number is (928) 782-9871; the sheriff’s main office is at 141 S. 3rd Avenue, (928) 783-4427. The jail can hold 756 people and averaged 424 a day in 2025, when it handled 5,249 admissions and 5,227 releases. Men and women are held here, most of them awaiting trial, along with people serving county sentences and people waiting to be moved to state prison. Programs include religious services, substance abuse counseling, life skills material, a law library, reading material, haircuts and notary services. Look up anyone in custody with the sheriff’s online inmate search or by calling the jail.

Booking happens in the jail’s Admitting section. Arizona Rule of Criminal Procedure 4.1 requires an initial appearance within 24 hours, and the person must be released if it isn’t held. In Yuma, initial appearances are held by video from the detention center’s video courtroom on weekdays, at times set by each court; on weekends and holidays a judge holds them in person at the jail at 1:00 p.m. Most non-domestic misdemeanors carry set bonds, and felony bonds are decided at that first hearing. Arizona Rule 7.2 presumes release on the person’s own recognizance, so many people are released without paying. When money or conditions are required, the judge can order an unsecured bond, cash bond or secured appearance bond, and a licensed bail bond agent can post bond for a family. The jail is not allowed to recommend a bondsman. Only after a hearing, and only for the limited reasons in Article 2, Section 22 of the Arizona Constitution, can a judge deny bail outright. Bonds are normally posted at the court of record; after business hours the detention center accepts cash bonds in the exact amount only.

Court cases can be searched at Public Access to Court Information. The sheriff’s office does not give out warrant information by phone, so if you think there is a warrant, talk with an attorney (the Yuma County Public Defender is at (928) 817-4600) before turning yourself in.

Family visits are video only and unlimited. Schedule them through Combined Public Communications at inmatesales.com or (702) 829-3001. The visitation office is at (928) 539-7841, weekdays 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The same company runs inmate phones, tablets and voice messages; deposits for those go through inmatesales.com or (877) 998-5678. The sheriff warns families to watch out for scammers offering tablet deposits.

Since May 13, 2024, personal mail is scanned and delivered to inmate tablets. Address it to the inmate’s name and jacket number, Yuma County Detention Center, P.O. Box 76550, Highland Heights, KY 41076. Use letter-size paper only, with up to 10 photos per envelope, and no glitter, stickers, glue or parcels. Books and magazines sent by publishers and attorney legal mail are handled separately, so call the jail for where to send them. Commissary money can go in at the lobby kiosk (weekdays 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.), through Access Corrections or (866) 345-1884, through CashPay Today at stores like Walmart and CVS, or by money order mailed to Inmate Accounts, 200 W. Court Street, Yuma, AZ 85364. Access Securepak at accesscatalog.com or (800) 546-6283 sells weekly packages that arrive on Thursdays.

Releases go out through the release gazebo off 1st Street, behind the booking area, and that’s where to wait. Property can be picked up there Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., but only by the person the inmate names on a property release form, with photo ID; unclaimed property is disposed of after 90 days. YCAT buses stop at the Downtown Yuma Transit Center at 3rd Street and Gila Street, about a third of a mile east. For gas, there’s a Circle K at 379 W. 1st St. and a Chevron at 100 S. 4th Ave., and Jack in the Box at 140 S. 4th Ave. and Lutes Casino at 221 S. Main St. are both close for a meal.
