Pinal County Jail Quick Facts
Pinal County Inmate Search Status
The online inmate search for Pinal County is not working right now. The sheriff's office took it down after a federal court ruling. This affects how the public can find jail inmate data online.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in Houston v. Maricopa County that posting mugshots and personal information can violate due process rights. Case number 23-15542 set this new standard. Pinal County chose to pause their public mugshot and inmate search tools to comply with this decision. The county has not said when online access will return. Other Arizona counties made similar changes after this ruling came down.
The Pinal County inmate search page displays a notice about this pause. You can still get inmate information by calling the jail directly. The detention center staff can tell you if someone is in custody and provide basic booking details over the phone.
To check on a Pinal County inmate, call 520-213-8553. This is the jail information line. Staff can confirm if someone is currently held at the detention center. Have the person's full name and date of birth ready when you call.
Pinal County Adult Detention Center
The main jail in Pinal County is the Adult Detention Center. It sits in Florence, the county seat. All arrests in Pinal County eventually go to this facility for booking and housing. The center handles inmates from local police departments and the sheriff's patrol division.

Contacting Inmates in Pinal County
Sending mail to Pinal County inmates works differently now. The jail uses a mail scanning service.
Regular mail goes to a processing center in Florida. All incoming mail gets scanned. The jail delivers a printed copy to the inmate. Physical letters are destroyed after scanning. This process helps keep contraband out of the facility. The mailing address changed in January 2026, so use the new one. Send letters to the inmate's name and ID number at Pinal County Adult Detention Center, P.O. Box 20366, Tampa, Florida 33622. Legal mail follows different rules and goes to a local address.
The Pinal County detention FAQs explain how to send money, schedule visits, and communicate with inmates at the jail.
For legal mail that attorneys need to send, use this address: Inmate Full Name and ID, C/O Pinal County Sheriff's Office, P.O. Box 2610, Florence, AZ 85132. Legal documents are handled separately and not sent to Florida.
