Cochise County Jail, AZ

Cochise County Jail's Sierra Vista and Douglas locations offer public visiting hours Monday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. All visits must be scheduled at least 48 hours in advance—staff won't help with scheduling, so you'll need to use the facility's scheduling platform yourself. Inmates in general population can have two public/free visits per week, though there's no limit on visits conducted from home. If your visit falls on a county-recognized holiday, it must be done from home rather than in person. For home or video visits, create an online account and agree to the vendor's terms. Check the scheduling platform for any additional steps or ID requirements before your visit.

Cochise County Jail is overseen by the Cochise County Detention Division, which maintains custody of pre-trial prisoners and carries out court judgments tied to detention. The facility was originally designed for 168 inmates but has been modified to hold as many as 302—a capacity change that can affect services and day-to-day processes for families. On the funding side, local voters approved a Jail District excise (sales) tax in an all-mail special election on May 16, 2023. An in-person election on the same tax is scheduled for November 4, 2025, and the County adopted a June 2025 resolution to end collection of the tax as of July 31, 2025. Before visiting or picking up property, check the governing department orders and the facility's instructions.
