Jails
Lower Buckeye Jail, Phoenix
Lower Buckeye Jail, in the Durango complex in southwest Phoenix, is one of Maricopa County’s largest facilities, housing pretrial and sentenced inmates. Many people booked at 4th Avenue are transferred here while their cases are pending — which means hearings, deadlines, and decisions continue while they wait.
We are available 24/7. (602) 595-5222
3250 W Lower Buckeye Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85009 (602) 876-0322
Finding someone at Lower Buckeye
Start with the MCSO inmate lookup on mcso.org — it shows current facility, booking number, charges, bond, and court dates, and it is the authoritative answer to “where are they now.” Our inmate search guide walks through reading the results. Facility information: (602) 876-0322.
Visits, mail, and money
Visitation runs primarily by video under MCSO’s current schedule — verify on mcso.org before planning a visit, and have the booking number ready. Mail and commissary deposits follow current MCSO policy. Everything moves smoother with the booking number from the lookup.
Pretrial inmates: the case is the way out
For someone held pretrial at Lower Buckeye, the real questions are about the case: can release conditions be revisited, is the bond amount challengeable, what is the next hearing, and is anyone actually working the defense. Release conditions can be modified by motion, and how bonds are posted is covered in our bond guide. A criminal defense attorney can meet with them at the facility and move on all of it.
