Finding Someone in Custody in Graham County
The county jail, run by the Graham County Sheriff's Office, holds everyone kept in custody after an arrest in Graham County, from every agency.
SearchSystems opened and checked the custody page of the Graham County Sheriff's Office at graham.az.gov/DocumentCenter/View/502/Booking-Roster-PDF (page title: 9-2-24 | Inmate List), 921 W Thatcher Boulevard Safford, AZ 85546, a site that blocks automated checks (HTTP 403), so open it in a browser.
That page is the place to look for someone booked recently. A person cited and released at the scene, or held only a few hours by a city department, will not be on it.
