How to Contact an Inmate at Yavapai County Jail (AZ)
Staying in touch with someone in Yavapai County custody is straightforward once you know which detention center they're in. Here's what you need to know about in-person visits and online options, plus a few things to confirm before making plans.
At Prescott Detention Center, visits happen inside the facility. Check in at the Sheriff's Office public lobby next to the flagpoles. Visitation hours are Monday through Friday, 12:00 pm to 3:30 pm. You'll need to schedule at least 1 day ahead, and you can book up to 14 days out. That flexibility helps if you're working around job schedules or travel.
Yavapai County also offers online video visitation for a small fee. If you can't make the drive to Camp Verde or Prescott, this is often the easiest option. All you need is a standard internet connection.
Note: If you use Securus eMessaging, messages, photos, and VideoGrams are subject to facility review. Stamps are not refunded if an item is rejected.
