Posting Bail for Someone at Greenlee County Jail
Bail for a county inmate is set by a judicial officer, usually at the initial appearance held within 24 hours of arrest. Once the amount is set, our agent confirms where the county accepts the bond (the jail or the court of record), prepares the surety bond and posts it. You sign and pay electronically, so you do not have to travel to the county seat. Release is processed by the jail after the bond is accepted. Greenlee is Arizona's least populated county, and the Sheriff's Office handles custody questions directly at the detention line.
Tips for Families
- The county's offices are at 253 5th Street in Clifton; call the detention line for directions to the jail itself.
- Video visitation is run through a vendor; getting the person out on bond is simpler.

Where do you post bail in Phoenix?
Bonds for anyone in Maricopa County custody are posted in person at the 4th Avenue Jail Bond and Fine Room, 201 S 4th Avenue, Phoenix, at the northwest corner of the building. The county does not accept bonds electronically. Our agent handles the posting so you do not have to.
How long after posting bail is someone released from Maricopa County jail?
The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office states that release processing can take up to 24 hours after a bond is posted. In practice, release from the 4th Avenue Jail often takes two to eight hours, and releases from the Durango complex jails (Lower Buckeye, Estrella, Towers, Watkins) can take longer because the release order must reach that facility. Weekend nights and holidays are slowest.
