I’m a third generation Arizonan, father of two, musician and paralegal. I am the executive director of a government non-profit organization. I’ve also been imprisoned before.
During my 15 years in Arizona prisons, I spent every day talking to other inmates about their cases and looking at their case documents. I spoke to hundreds of men convicted by the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. Many of the stories are the same: Maricopa County prosecutors used every advantage they had under the law, and some outside the law, to maximize what they consider “profit”: incarcerating people for excessively long sentences without consider what type of rehabilitation or support would prepare them for a healthier and more productive life afterward, regardless of the cost to taxpayers, families, or victims.
Information for families preparing for a loved one to be committed to the Arizona Department of Justice:
If your loved one is serving a time sentence at the Arizona Department of Justice, they will be released from the Jail removes courtroom straight to county jail until pickup truck comes out of jail, Arizona Department of Corrections (DOC). The county-operated prison and the prison (DOC) are two entirely separate entities. Here’s how to prepare to assist your inmate at the Arizona Department of Justice.
AZ DOC generally picks up inmates from the county a few times a week. The male inmate is then taken to the Alhambra, a reception center in Phoenix. Female prisoners are taken to Perryville, Arizona’s only female prison.
Types of Crime People are often taken to Maricopa County Jails
Maricopa County Jails have inmates who have been arrested for misdemeanor felonies and cannot post bail. They are also used to house inmates convicted of crimes that carry jail time instead of jail time. Many different crimes can result in people being arrested and taken to one of the Maricopa County jails, including the following types:
- DUI and vehicular crime
- assault and violent crime
- Theft, criminal damages and subterfuges
- Theft, fraud and white-collar crime
- Drug-related crime (narcotics, opioids and marijuana)
- Sex crimes / crimes against children
- Probation violations
- Miscellaneous other offenses
Search or body search.
There will always be a shallow cache during the booking process. However, officers can choose to keep it superficial or opt for a full body search. Officer selection can affect the time it takes for an inmate to appear on the system. Remember that a strip search can also be done if you face arrest on a lesser charge, e.g. B. for non-payment of a fine.
Depending on the situation, they can also take off your clothes. Any items taken from you will be returned to you upon your release, except for those that are contraband or evidence of a crime. The police can stop you from carrying anything of value. Unless they can prove personal property.
