Find Navajo County Jail Records

Navajo County inmate records can be searched online through the Sheriff's Office website. The jail in Holbrook holds people from across this large northeastern Arizona county. A live inmate roster updates every few hours and shows who is in custody right now. This page covers how to find Navajo County inmates, request public records, and contact the detention facility. We explain the unique mail scanning policy and provide links to official search tools that work today.

Navajo County Live Inmate Roster

The Navajo County Sheriff provides a live inmate housing report on their website. This roster shows all current inmates in the detention facility. It updates every three hours. You can check it any time without paying a fee or making an account.

The Navajo County inmate information page is where you start your search. It has links to the roster and explains what information is available. The county makes finding inmates easy compared to some Arizona jails that have paused their online tools.

The roster data is good but not perfect. Someone booked in the last few hours may not show up yet. Same for releases. A person could be listed as in custody when they actually bonded out an hour ago. For time sensitive matters, call the jail directly at 928-524-4350.

Search Navajo County Inmates Online

Go straight to the Navajo County inmate housing report for the current roster. This page loads the live data from the jail management system.

The report shows each inmate's name, booking date, charges, bond amount, and housing assignment within the jail. Housing tells you what unit they are in. This matters for visitation and mail. Different units have different rules. The bond amount shows what it would cost to get someone out, though some charges have no bond option.

You can search or sort the list to find a specific person. Most browsers let you press Ctrl+F to search text on the page. Type the last name and it will jump right to them if they are in custody. This works better than scrolling through hundreds of entries looking for one Navajo County inmate.

Note: The roster is public information under Arizona law. Anyone can view it without stating a reason.

Navajo County Detention Facility

The main jail sits at 100 E. Code Talkers Drive in Holbrook. This is the county seat. The facility has 444 beds total, though it typically operates around 350 inmates at any given time. Both pretrial detainees and sentenced inmates are housed here.

Call 928-524-4350 to reach the Sheriff's Office. Ask for jail information if you need details about a specific inmate. Staff can confirm custody status, bond amounts, and visiting hours. The detention facility handles bookings around the clock. Administrative offices keep regular business hours Monday through Friday.

Show Low is another major town in Navajo County. Arrests there also go to the Holbrook jail. There is no separate detention facility in Show Low. The distance can make visiting harder for families in the western part of the county. Plan for about an hour drive from Show Low to Holbrook.

Navajo County Jail Mail Policy

Navajo County uses a mail scanning service called TextBehind. This is important to know if you want to send letters to an inmate. The jail does not accept regular mail at its address anymore.

Here is how it works. You send mail to a Florida processing center. Staff there scans your letter and photos. The scanned images get sent electronically to the jail. Inmates receive printouts of the scanned mail. The physical letter you sent gets destroyed after scanning. This policy stops contraband from entering the facility through mail.

Get the current mailing address from the jail or check the Navajo County Sheriff website. It changes depending on the service provider. Do not send mail to the jail's physical address in Holbrook. It will be returned or discarded. Legal mail from attorneys still goes directly to the jail, not through the scanning service.

Note: Photos must meet size and content rules. The scanning service rejects anything that violates jail mail policies.

Add Money for Navajo County Inmates

Inmates need money on their account to buy items from commissary. They also need funds for phone calls and video visits. Navajo County uses JailATM to handle inmate accounts.

Visit JailATM.com to add money online. You need the inmate's full name and booking number. Fees apply for deposits. The money shows up in the inmate's account within a few hours for most payment types.

Video visitation goes through a separate platform called Inmate Sales. This is how you schedule virtual visits with someone in the Navajo County jail. In person visits are not allowed at this facility. All visits happen by video. This changed how families stay in touch, but it also means you can visit from anywhere with an internet connection.

Request Navajo County Jail Records

The Sheriff's Office handles public record requests for jail documents. This includes booking sheets, incident reports, and other detention records. Arizona's public records law at A.R.S. 39-121 gives you the right to inspect these records.

Contact the Navajo County Sheriff's Office at 928-524-4350 to start a request. Be specific about what you need. Give the inmate's name, date of birth, and booking date if you have it. Staff will tell you the cost. Fees vary by document type. Expect to pay a few dollars for basic records. More complex requests cost more.

Pick up records in person at the Sheriff's Office in Holbrook. You can also pay to have them mailed. Processing time depends on how busy the records division is. Simple requests might be ready the same day. Others take a week or more. Call ahead to check status before making the trip to Holbrook for pickup.

Arizona Statewide Inmate Search

The Navajo County jail holds people before trial and for sentences under one year. Longer sentences go to state prison. Check the Arizona DOC inmate data search if you cannot find someone in the county system.

The state database covers all Arizona prisons. It shows conviction details, facility location, and projected release dates. Under A.R.S. 31-221, the corrections department maintains a master file on each state prisoner. Release dates shown are estimates and can change. Do not send state inmate information to someone in prison. That is a felony.

Court records are available through the Arizona Courts public access site. This shows case information from Navajo County courts. You can see charges, hearing dates, and case outcomes. Use this with the jail roster to understand why someone is in custody or what happened to their case.
