How Attorneys Schedule Legal Visits at Pinal County Jail (Contact and Video Options)
Scheduling a legal visit at Pinal County Adult Detention is straightforward once you know which visit type you need and how far ahead to request it. Here's the current process for professional contact visits, plus what to know about onsite and remote video options.
Plan ahead for professional contact visits. Pinal County Adult Detention requires at least 24 hours' notice, and the visit must be approved through the Sheriff's Office via email.
- ✓ Send your request by email at least 24 hours before the visit time
- ✓ Wait for approval/confirmation before you arrive
Send onsite contact visit requests to the facility's legal-visit scheduling email: pcsolegalvisits@pinal.gov.
Published guidance on professional contact-visit hours doesn't match across sources. One document says attorneys and investigating officers can visit Monday through Sunday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. A separate construction-related notice limits onsite professional contact visits to Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Because these windows conflict, confirm the current schedule before planning your trip.
Beyond in-person contact visits, the visitation memo describes onsite no-contact options for professional visitors - video or phone visitation at the facility with no fee. Whichever format you choose, expect legal visits to be capped at one hour unless the facility approves additional time.
Remote video visits from your office or home cost $6 for 20 minutes. You'll need to create an account with Securus Technologies and follow their scheduling requirements.
Construction can affect what's available onsite. The construction notice limits onsite professional contact visits (and inmate property pickup) to Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with exceptions for initial appearance attorneys and victims for weekend court.
Onsite video availability is also reported differently depending on where you look. The visitation memo says onsite video visitation runs seven days a week, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The county visitation webpage says onsite video visits are unavailable until further notice due to construction. Don't assume the system is open just because you've used it before - verify what's running right now.
Note: With construction notices and conflicting published schedules, confirm current hours and onsite availability before you head to the facility.
If you're requesting a direct contact legal visit, stay flexible about where it takes place. The facility assigns booths and rooms based on availability and operational needs - they don't take requests for specific contact locations.
Safety note: If you request that the door on a direct contact legal visitation room be secured, the visitation memo states the attorney assumes the risk of injury in the event of an assault by an inmate.
Up against a deadline? Start with the standard process (email request at least 24 hours ahead), but don't wait to ask for help if you need an exception or want to confirm what's currently available. The facility has a visitation office line for questions.
For construction-related assistance, the construction notice provides a separate number. For general visitation questions or concerns, call the visitation office at 520-213-8553.
