Graham County Adult Detention

Graham County Adult Detention basic information to help guide you through what you can do for your inmate while they are incarcerated. The facility's direct contact number: 928-428-3141

This facility is for adult inmates.

The Graham County Adult Detention is a medium-security detention center located at 523 10th Ave Safford, AZ which is operated locally by the Graham County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Graham County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service and the Safford Police Department who do not have their own long-term lock-up.

The mission of Graham County Detention Center is to provide for community safety, facility security and the welfare of staff and inmates. Facility operations comply with the standards for local detention facilities set forth by the National Sheriff’s Association, the American Correctional Association, the Arizona Detention Association, and the National Commission on Correctional Health Care.

Primary Functions

The primary function of the detention center is to safely and securely, detain both pre-trial detainees and County sentenced inmates. However, staff members understand that inmates are subject to deprivations resulting merely from confinement and that their role is not to inflict punishment, but make the inmate’s period of confinement as productive as possible.

Staff & Inmate Goals

Although most Graham County Detention Center inmates are short-term detainees, staff members encourage each inmate to take advantage of opportunities provided for educational, health and personal self-improvements. In this way, staff members contribute to making the inmate’s return to the community as positive and productive as possible. This goal can be realized only through the concerted efforts of all staff members. Graham County Detention Center strives to ensure that no inmate shall leave the Detention Center in worse physical or mental condition than when they were admitted.
