How attorneys and professionals request in-person contact visits at Pinal County Jail
Professional contact visits at Pinal County Jail require advance planning. Email your request at least 24 hours ahead with the right details, and you'll sidestep most scheduling headaches.
Pinal County requires professional contact visits to be requested at least 24 hours in advance via email to the Sheriff's Office. No advance approval? Expect to be turned away or rescheduled.
- ✓ Reason for the contact visit
- ✓ Name(s) of the visitor(s) and each visitor’s profession
- ✓ Date and time requested
- ✓ Items needed for the visit (for example: laptop, CDs, files)
- ✓ Inmate’s name, date of birth, and ID number
Plan for up to one hour. Pinal County caps legal and professional visits at 1 hour unless you've gotten prior approval for more time.
Need extra space or an accommodation? Mention it in your request email. The jail allows professionals to request a larger room when multiple people are attending or when ADA accommodations are needed. Include this along with your other required details: who's coming, the purpose of the visit, date and time, and any items you're bringing in.
Safety note: Pinal County states that if an attorney requests the door on a direct-contact legal visitation room be secured, the attorney assumes the risk of injury in the event of an assault by an inmate.
According to one published schedule, attorneys and investigating officers can conduct professional contact visits Monday through Sunday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
However, a separate facility notice says construction has temporarily limited on-site professional visits and inmate property pickup to Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Exceptions apply for initial appearance attorneys and victims attending weekend court.
- Treat the Monday–Friday schedule as the current constraint - a construction notice limits on-site professional contact visits to Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with narrow weekend exceptions.
- Use the broader hours as a reference point, not a guarantee - another posted schedule lists Monday through Sunday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
- Confirm before you travel or calendar the visit - because the posted schedules conflict, verify the current availability with the facility (by phone or through the same email channel you use for the 24-hour request).
