Property/Money Releases

  Inmates may release personal property they were arrested with to anyone they choose, however, they must release all of it.  The person picking up the property must provide valid and current picture identification such as a driver's license.  An Immigration card along with a valid driver's license is acceptable.

  Inmates arrested with cash may release their money to anyone without approval during the first 72 hours after their arrest; after that, approval will be required from the Jail Commander or designee.

  Inmates sentenced to the Department of Corrections must release their property to someone before they are transfered.  Items not released are stored for 10 days and are then disposed of.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take for the jail to release someone after the bond has been posted?

   The Maricopa County Jail usually releases inmates 12-24 hours after the bond has been posted. During weekdays, releases are processed by third shift, so we see most inmates getting out between the hours of 3 AM to 6 AM. On weekends releases can occur during any shift.  You can call the Hot Line for updates (602) 876-0322.

How can I get a message to an inmate?

    You can only speak to an inmate if they call you (see inmate phones) or if you visit them during regularly scheduled visitation times (see Jail Visitation).  The Sheriff's Office will not provide messages to inmates and you cannot make a call to an inmate.
