The Arizona Department of Corrections is proud to present its new website. It has been re-designed with you in mind and is far more user-friendly than before ensuring quicker access to current information about our agency and its operations. Whether you’re seeking employment or searching the inmate data base for the status of a specific prisoner, the following pages will keep you apprised of our activities and outcomes including up-to-date department news stories. It should serve you well.

Before you begin your search, permit us to summarize just some of the tremendous work that the men and women at ADC are doing for you. Over the past three years ADC staff has:

* Cut escapes annually from five to one and lowered technical revocations 26.6%; successful parole completions are up 17%; just 5 of 618 ex-offenders who had been assigned to ADC’s new pre-release units at ASPC-Perryville, Tucson and Douglas committed new crimes within a year of discharge.
* Reduced inmate-on-inmate assaults 22% and inmate-on-staff assaults 20%; cut sexual assaults 75%.
* Lowered inmate lawsuits filings 37.5% and inmate grievances about conditions of confinement 11%.
* Collected $385,000 in inmates’ voluntary cash contributions to crime victims groups; increased victim notifications 22%; and raised inmates’ court-ordered restitution payments made 8%.
* Overseen the award of over 9,044 high school equivalency certificates; today state inmates represent 29% of all Arizona GED graduates up from 7%; state inmates earning GED certificates increased 295% from 791 to 3,125; ADC also added 37 job-training programs credentialing nearly 5,300 inmates; increased inmates working full time in prison 9%.
* Effectively interdicted drugs lowering inmates testing positive for illegal drugs to 5%, an 11% improvement in interdictions and cutting parolees testing positive to 3%, a 24% improvement.

The Department is dedicated to improving your safety right now throughout the time that inmates serve their sentences in prison and parolees complete their terms in the community and later, when the vast majority of the felon population returns home. It is our pledge to you that all of our resources are always marshaled and our efforts focused on the population, pressing offenders to prepare for their release, ready to rejoin society as civil and productive individuals. We all succeed when offenders are accountable to their communities and equipped to take care of themselves and their families.
