Independent oversight of Arizona prisons
Arizona’s independent corrections ombudsman inspects each correctional facility at least once every two years. Inmates can use secure complaint channels, and the office reviews conditions and compliance with standards. It reports each year by December 31 on complaints, safety, staffing, visits, and grievances. The state provides $1.5 million from its general fund for fiscal year 2025-2026; the money does not go directly to households, and lawmakers intend funding to continue.
