To find state prison inmates, use the ADCRR search at inmatedatasearch.azcorrections.gov. The county jail roster will not show people who moved to state custody. Check both databases if you cannot locate someone.

Gilbert Booking Process

People arrested by Gilbert Police go to Maricopa County intake facilities. The booking process includes fingerprints, mugshots, and a medical check. Officers enter personal details into the jail computer system and assign an inmate number.

A judge sets bail within 24 hours of booking. Video court handles most initial appearances. The judge considers charge severity, criminal background, and flight risk. Some defendants get released without posting money. Others must pay bail to get out before trial.

The county jail roster updates throughout the day. New bookings can take several hours to show up online. If you cannot find someone right away, try again later. The intake process must finish before records appear in the search system.
