FAQ
The Pinal County Adult Detention Center in Florence holds detainees for an initial "Cool Down" period following a DUI arrest, typically lasting 8-12 hours. This policy creates a temporary "blackout" on release, preventing bail from being posted until the individual is deemed sufficiently sober.
Where to Post Bail in Pinal County
Bail can be posted at the Pinal County Adult Detention Center, located at 971 N. Jason Lopez Circle, Building B, Florence, Arizona.
Pinal County Release Timeline
Expect processing times of up to 4 hours from the moment the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) receives the release paperwork.
Be aware that shift changes, such as those occurring around 5:00 p.m. or 6:00 p.m., can cause operational delays, temporarily halting releases. Ongoing construction at the detention facility may also contribute to processing slowdowns. Administrative Order 2024-002 has introduced standardized written workflows for release determinations, which may slow the process.
The jail inmate search portal updates hourly. This may create a short delay when trying to verify booking information immediately after an arrest.
Conditions for Release
Several conditions must be met before release is authorized:
- The detainee must be coherent and sober.
- A national warrant check (NCIC) must clear the detainee.
- If applicable and requested, victim notification must be completed.
Payment Methods at the Pinal County Jail
The Pinal County Adult Detention Center offers TouchPay Kiosks for posting bail. To use the kiosk, you'll need the Facility Locator Number 285132 and the inmate's Booking Number.
