Check MCAS Yuma Detention Custody

MCAS Yuma Detention Overview

The official MCAS Yuma Detention Facility page describes a military detention and holding function for Marine Corps Air Station Yuma. The research says the facility was established or redesignated in 2024 after disestablishment of the MCAS Yuma Brig. Its mission is to provide the Provost Marshal's Office with the capability to temporarily detain individuals suspected of or having committed an offense. That language is narrow. It does not describe an adult county jail roster, a public prison population, or a public booking-photo database.

The official page also says MCAS Yuma no longer has capability to confine individuals aboard the installation, and that commanders who deem confinement necessary can contact the detention facility. That point separates temporary detention from confinement. In practice, a person may be held briefly under military or installation authority, while longer confinement or federal criminal custody may involve other channels. The research does not identify a public MCAS inmate locator, public capacity number, public visitation schedule, or public commissary program.

The facility map identifies a detention function physically associated with Yuma County, but the role is routing and distinction rather than public jail lookup. Public users who are looking for an adult booked by Yuma police, county deputies, or a city court should use the Yuma County Detention Center roster. Searchers looking for immigration detention should use ICE ODLS, and people searching sentenced federal inmates should use BOP nationally.

MCAS Yuma Custody Limits

No official capacity or population figure for the MCAS Yuma Detention Facility was published by the official facility source. Because the facility is described as temporary detention and not confinement capability, using a jail-style population stat block would be misleading. The county jail's rated capacity of 756 and ADP of 424 belongs to the Yuma County Detention Center. ASPC-Yuma's prison population belongs to ADCRR. ICE detention figures belong to San Luis Regional Detention Center if properly sourced.

Those limits are useful. They prevent the MCAS Yuma Detention Facility from being confused with Yuma Territorial Prison history, the current county jail, the state prison complex in San Luis, or federal prisons elsewhere in Arizona.

MCAS Yuma Custody Lookup

No public MCAS Yuma detention roster was located in official facility material. The official detention facility page supplies a contact phone and email contacts, and it describes command-level routing when confinement is deemed necessary. For a military detention question, the practical route is to contact the MCAS Yuma Detention Facility or appropriate military command channels. For a civilian criminal case, use the agency that has custody now.

1. Confirm whether the question is about military or installation detention, not county jail custody.
2. Use the MCAS Yuma Detention Facility contact phone or official email channel for facility routing.
3. If the case moved to federal criminal custody, check USMS, federal court, or BOP depending on case stage.
4. If the person is an adult county detainee, use the Yuma County Detention Center inmate web portal instead.

If the facts show a sentenced federal prisoner rather than temporary installation detention, the search moves to the national BOP inmate locator. That fallback is not a roster for MCAS Yuma, and it should not be used unless the person is in BOP custody.

MCAS Yuma Detention Contact

The facility contact in the research is the public point for detention facility routing. The official page listed phone (928) 269-2881 and email text for the detention facility. The research noted one email as mcasyumadetfac@usms.mil and training contact text also listing mcasyumadetfac@usmc.mil. Because the official page text contained both, callers should rely on the live MCAS page for current email routing.

MCAS Yuma Detention Visits

No public visitation schedule was identified for the MCAS Yuma Detention Facility. That fits the facility's described role as a temporary detention and holding capability rather than a public jail. Any access for attorneys, command representatives, family, or other contacts should be arranged through the military channels that control the detention. A county jail visit table, ICE visit table, or ADCRR prison visit schedule should not be applied to this facility.

When public information is limited, the accurate answer is not to fill the gap with county jail rules. MCAS Yuma detention access must come from the installation or military authority.

MCAS Yuma Mail and Property

No public inmate mail format, phone vendor, tablet vendor, commissary vendor, or deposit fee table was located for the MCAS Yuma Detention Facility. That is expected for a temporary military holding facility. Do not send money through YCSO Access Corrections, do not use the Yuma County TextBehind address, and do not use ICE or ADCRR mail formats unless another agency has custody and publishes that route.

If another custodian takes over, the correct service rules shift with that custodian. Federal pretrial custody, BOP custody, county jail custody, ICE custody, and state prison custody each have different mailing and money systems.

MCAS Yuma Intake Role

The official mission language says the facility gives the Provost Marshal's Office the ability to temporarily detain individuals suspected of or having committed an offense. That is intake or holding language, not long-term confinement language. Commanders who deem confinement necessary can contact the facility, but the official page also says MCAS Yuma no longer has the capability to confine individuals aboard the installation.

Temporary detention

Short-term holding while military or installation authority determines the next step.

Confinement

Longer custody, which the official page says MCAS Yuma no longer has aboard the installation.

Public roster

A public inmate search system; none was found for this MCAS facility.

That intake role also means a court-record search may belong in another system. If a federal criminal case opens, federal court and USMS contacts may become relevant. If a civilian local arrest occurs, the person may be processed through the Yuma County Detention Center. The facility name alone does not prove the current custodian.

About MCAS Yuma Detention

MCAS Yuma is part of Yuma's local public-safety and military landscape, but the detention facility is not a broad public inmate-population source. The facility map research also notes that the City of Yuma history identifies Fly Field and MCAS Yuma as part of the area's early aviation history. That local context does not change the search rule: the MCAS detention facility is military and temporary, while most public adult custody searches in Yuma County start with the county jail, ADCRR, ICE, BOP, or court systems.

For an adult local arrest, use the Yuma County Detention Center roster and admitting clerk path. For immigration detention, use ICE ODLS and San Luis Regional Detention Center contacts. For sentenced state prisoners, use ADCRR. For sentenced federal prisoners, use BOP nationally. MCAS Yuma should be used only when the facts point to installation detention or military routing.
