Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Ajo District Jail
Members of the public can look for an inmate using the official inmate search link provided on this page for the facility’s roster. Jail rosters typically list the inmate’s name, booking date, listed charges, housing or custody status, and sometimes court or bond information. Records do not always appear immediately after an arrest because booking, identification, medical screening, and data entry can take several hours. If a person was recently arrested, check back later or contact the facility or Pima County jail information for guidance. Inmates may also be moved between county facilities, so a search may show a different Pima County location than expected.
