Greenlee County Jail Information

The Greenlee County Jail is located at 824 South Coronado Boulevard in Clifton. This is the only jail facility in the county. All arrests made by the sheriff's office come through here for booking.

The jail handles intake, booking, and short term holding. Inmates awaiting trial or serving short sentences stay here. Those with longer sentences typically transfer to state facilities after processing. The jail is small compared to larger Arizona counties, but it serves the local population well.

You can reach the jail directly at (928) 865-4159. The main sheriff's office number is (928) 865-4149. Staff can answer questions about current inmates, visiting hours, and how to post bail. They can also help you find arrest records if you need them.

Note: Greenlee County jail charges $45.00 for initial booking, but this fee only applies to non-residents housed at the facility.

Greenlee County Records Fees

Getting copies of arrest records in Greenlee County involves some fees. The exact cost depends on what you request. Viewing records in person is free under Arizona law. Getting copies made costs money.

The county follows state fee guidelines for public records. Paper copies have a per page charge. Complex requests that take staff time may have additional fees. Contact the sheriff's office to get a quote before submitting your request. They can tell you exactly what your request will cost.

The jail has its own fee schedule for services. Phone calls from the jail cost $0.20 per minute. Video visits through the HomeWAV system cost $0.50 per minute. On-site visits at the jail are free. These fees apply to inmates and their families, not to people requesting arrest records.

Payment options vary by service. Cash works for most things. Some requests need money orders. Ask the staff what payment forms they accept for your specific request.

Search Greenlee County Arrests Online

The jail logs page is your main online tool for Greenlee County arrests. This is not a full database search. It shows a list of recent bookings that you can review. The information updates as new arrests happen.

To use the jail logs, just visit the sheriff's website. No account or login is needed. Scroll through the list to see recent arrests. You can look for specific names or just browse what comes up. The system is simple because Greenlee County has fewer arrests than larger counties.

If you need older records, the online logs may not help. Historical arrest records require a formal request. Contact the sheriff's office in Clifton to ask about records from past months or years. They keep files on all arrests but not everything goes online.

State level tools can help too. The Arizona Department of Corrections has an inmate search for state prisons. If someone from Greenlee County went to state prison, you can find them there. The Arizona DPS also maintains statewide criminal records under A.R.S. § 41-1750.

Request Greenlee County Arrest Records

For records not available online, you need to make a formal request. Arizona law says you can get public records through written requests. The sheriff must respond in a reasonable time. Most requests get handled within a few days for a small county like Greenlee.

To request records, contact the Greenlee County Sheriff's Office. You can call them at (928) 865-4149 to ask how they prefer requests. Some offices want written requests on paper. Others accept email. Ask them what works best and what information they need from you.

Include as much detail as possible in your request. The person's full name helps a lot. A date of birth or approximate arrest date speeds things up. The more you give them, the faster they find what you need. Vague requests take longer because staff must search more broadly.

Some records have limits on release. Under A.R.S. § 41-4172, certain personal details get redacted. Dates of birth, social security numbers, and home addresses are removed from public copies. You still get the arrest information, just without the most sensitive details.

Greenlee County Arrest Record Sealing

Arizona allows people to seal certain arrest records. This process is governed by A.R.S. § 13-911. Sealing does not delete records, but it hides them from most searches. Employers and landlords will not see sealed records in background checks.

Waiting periods apply before you can request sealing. For a Class 2 or 3 felony, you must wait 10 years. Class 4 through 6 felonies require 5 years. Misdemeanors have shorter waits. A Class 1 misdemeanor needs 3 years. Class 2 or 3 misdemeanors only need 2 years. Arrests that never led to charges can be sealed right away.

To seal a Greenlee County arrest record, you file a petition with the court. The Superior Court handles these requests. You can check with the Greenlee County Clerk of Court about the process. Once sealed, you can legally say the arrest did not happen when asked by employers or on applications.

Greenlee County Victim Notification

Arizona runs a victim notification system called VINE. This lets crime victims track offenders. You can sign up to get alerts when an inmate's status changes. Alerts go out for releases, transfers, and escapes.

VINE works for Greenlee County inmates. Register at VINELink with the inmate's information. You pick how you want alerts. Options include phone calls, emails, and text messages. The service is free for victims and their families.

The system runs 24 hours a day, every day of the year. If something happens with an inmate at 3 AM, you can get notified right away. This helps victims plan for their safety. It also provides peace of mind when someone who harmed you is in custody.
