About Arizona Department of Corrections

When someone receives a jail sentence after a trial, they lose not only their natural freedom but also the freedom to communicate and maintain close contact with their kin.

Once they are sentenced to serve time in a particular correctional facility, friends and family may have little knowledge of their location or general wellbeing. This is especially true if an inmate is transferred to another correctional facility.

If you or someone you know is looking for their loved one in a correctional facility in the state of Arizona, there are several legitimate places you can search for them. The incarceration facility that your kin could be serving time could fall under different jurisdictions.

However, the Arizona Department of Corrections (ADC) has robust databases and state offender locator tools that can make the process of finding your kind seamless and less stressful.

Finding an Inmate in Arizona

With the many doc offender locator tools available on ADC and the Department of Corrections official website, it would be easy to locate, contact, or visit your kin in custody.

Arizona, like other US states, has a prison system consisting of federal prisons, state prisons, city, county, and police jails. State prisons in Arizona are run and managed by the Arizona Department of Corrections. Arizona has ten state prisons under ADC and six private prisons.

The six private prisons are managed by  Management and Training Corporation, the GEO Group, and the Corrections Corporation of America. Find the complete list of all private correctional facilities in Arizona on the ADC directory page. The County Sheriff's offices run other jails within the state.

Most city prisons and jails in Arizona have online doc inmate search portals or doc offender locators on their websites. To find these search tools, log into the website of the county, city, or town where the facility is located and scroll down to its corrections or detention facility page. This page is usually found in the section for the county’s Sheriff’s Office or the police department within the city or town.
