La Paz County Inmate List

The La Paz County Sheriff posts an inmate list in PDF format on their website. This list shows who is currently in the jail. It gets updated as people are booked in or released. You can view it for free without creating an account.

The La Paz County Sheriff's Office website is where you start. Look for the inmate list section. The PDF shows each inmate's name, booking date, charges, and bond amount. Some entries include photos. The format is simple and works on any device that can open PDF files.

This is not a searchable database like larger counties have. You need to scroll through the PDF to find a specific person. For a small county jail, this works fine. The list is usually just a few pages. Check back often if you are tracking someone who might get released soon.

How to Find La Paz County Jail Inmates

Go to the La Paz County inmate list page to see who is in custody. The page has a link to download the current PDF file. Click it and the file will open in your browser or download to your device.

The PDF gets updated during business hours. If someone was just booked, they might not show up right away. Give it a few hours. The same goes for releases. Someone listed might already be out if you check late in the day. Call the jail if you need real time information on a specific La Paz County inmate.

Note: The PDF list shows current inmates only, not past booking history or release dates.

Arizona State Prison Records

The La Paz County jail holds people before trial or for short sentences. Anyone sentenced to more than one year goes to state prison. Arizona Department of Corrections handles those inmates.

You can search state prison inmates at the ADCRR inmate data search site. This covers all Arizona state prisons. Enter a name and see if someone is in the state system. The database shows current location, release date estimate, and conviction information.

Under A.R.S. 31-221, prison records are maintained in a master file for each inmate. Inmates can view their own file once per year. Sending inmate record information to a prisoner is a felony under Arizona law. The ADCRR website warns users about this. Only look up this data for your own use or for people who are not currently in prison.

La Paz County Criminal History Checks

The Arizona Department of Public Safety runs the Central State Repository for criminal records. This is separate from jail inmate lists. A criminal history check shows arrests and court outcomes across the state.

Private citizens cannot request someone else's full criminal history in Arizona. The DPS only releases records to authorized agencies and for certain background check purposes. However, you can request your own record through the DPS Public Services Portal. This shows what is on file with the state. Fees range from $20 to $22 depending on the type of check. Processing takes about 15 days once you submit a fingerprint card and payment.

Court records are a different story. Arizona public records law under A.R.S. 39-121 makes court files open to the public.

Use this along with the jail inmate list to get a full picture.
