Request Gila County Inmate Records

Gila County charges fees for copies of jail records. The base cost is $8.00 for the first 20 pages of any report. Each page after that costs $0.25. These fees help cover copying and staff time to process your request.

Victims of crimes get special treatment under Arizona law. If you are the victim, your first copy of the incident report is free. Bring proof of victim status when you pick up records. This might include your name appearing on the police report or a victim notification letter. Ask staff how to claim your free copy.

Submit records requests to the Records Unit at the Globe office. Include the inmate's name, date of birth, and booking date if known. The more details you provide, the faster staff can locate what you need. Phone 928-402-1883 to check on your request status or ask about fees before you come in person to get Gila County inmate records.

Arizona's public records law under A.R.S. 39-121 requires agencies to make records available for inspection during office hours. You can view records at the sheriff's office without paying if you just want to look. Fees apply only when you need copies.

Gila County Video Visitation

Gila County jail does not offer in person visits. All visitation happens through video. This change lets families connect with inmates without traveling to the facility. It also allows more flexible scheduling.

The jail uses the GettingOut platform for video visits. You create an account on their website or mobile app. Once registered, you can schedule visits and connect from home using your computer or phone.

Inmates receive one hour of free video visitation each week. The jail provides this at no cost to help maintain family ties. Additional visits beyond the free hour cost money. Rates vary based on visit length and type. Remote visits from home typically cost per minute while onsite kiosk visits may have different pricing.

Set up your GettingOut account before you need it. The approval process takes time. You will need to verify your identity and pass a background screening. Once approved, scheduling visits becomes quick and easy. You pick a time slot that works for both you and the inmate's housing unit schedule at the Gila County detention facility.

Arizona Inmate Resources

State level resources help when county searches come up empty. If someone was transferred to state prison or arrested in another county, you need different search tools.

The Arizona Department of Corrections runs state prisons. People sentenced to more than one year typically serve time at ADCRR facilities, not county jail. Search the ADCRR Inmate Data Search if you think someone is in state prison rather than Gila County jail. The database shows current prison inmates statewide.

VINELink provides custody notification across Arizona. Sign up at vinelink.com to get alerts when an inmate is released or transferred. The service is free. You can get calls, texts, or emails when status changes happen. This beats checking jail rosters manually every day. Registration works for Gila County inmates and those held elsewhere in Arizona.

Gila County Court Case Information

Court records explain why someone is in jail. Criminal case files show charges, plea deals, and sentences. Civil court handles other disputes. Both types of records are public in most cases.

Search Arizona court records through the public access portal. This statewide system includes courts from Gila County and other jurisdictions. Enter a name to find criminal cases. Results show hearing dates, case status, and assigned judges. Not every Arizona court is in the system yet, but coverage improves over time.

For records not available online, contact the Gila County Superior Court Clerk. They keep paper files for older cases and some current matters. You can visit in person to view documents during business hours. Copy fees apply if you need your own copies of court documents from Gila County.

Note: Court records are separate from jail records, but together they tell the full story of a criminal case.
