Maricopa Inmate Search is a tool provided by the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) to locate inmates currently housed in any of the MCSO detention facilities.

You can search for inmates by their booking number, first name, last name, or date of birth.

The search results will provide you with the inmate’s name, booking number, booking date, arresting agency, arrest date/time, facility, floor, house, pod, cell, and bed.

You can also view the inmate’s charge information, holds information, sentence information, and summary information.

Inmate Mail

It’s all about postcards now:

• Use blue or black ink only. No fancy stuff like stickers, glitter, or perfume.
• Address it like this:

Inmate Name and Booking Number
Lower Buckeye Jail
3250 West Lower Buckeye Road
Phoenix, Arizona 85009

Books, newspapers, and magazines:

• Sorry, you can’t send these directly. Your inmate has to order them from a publisher.
• They can only have 3 books, 5 magazines, and 1 newspaper at a time. No naughty stuff allowed!

Photos:

• Up to 5 photos at a time is okay, but they can’t be bigger than 4 x 6 inches.
• Write your inmate’s name and booking number on the back. No drawing or fancy edits.
• No nakedness, weapons, crime, or gang stuff.

• All mail goes to the Lower Buckeye Jail now, no matter where your inmate is housed.
• If you send something wrong, your inmate won’t get it and you’ll get a notice.

Telephone Calls for Inmates

Here’s the gist:

• Inmates use special phones to call out, but can’t get calls.
• Calls are handled by GTL.
• Calls happen between 7:30 am and 10 pm, maybe 24/7 in some places.
• Calls last 20 minutes max.

If you can’t receive inmate calls:

• Your phone likely flagged GTL’s numbers (480-448-2204 or 480-409-2926) as spam.

Outgoing Calls

• All calls inmates make are recorded and listened to.
• They can call pretty much anywhere in the world, except a few countries.
• In the US and Canada, they can call people who have special accounts set up.
• They can also buy calling cards from the jail store to call anywhere.
• No three-way calls are allowed!

Billing

Two easy ways to pay for your calls:

1. Collect: When you make a call, the person you call pays. Just set up an account with GTL first!
2. Prepaid: Pay for your calls in advance, like topping up your phone. Again, you’ll need a GTL account.

How to set up your account:

• Call 1-877-650-4249.
