The Pinal County Jail operates a combination of Direct and Indirect supervision facility. Direct supervision provides for amore productive form of inmate management that facilitates interaction between inmates and staff, thereby reducing incidents of violence, inmate grievances, destruction of property and improved operational efficiency. This form of supervision allows for the greatest level of interaction between Detention Staff and offenders. Indirect supervision allows for the random monitoring of activities, and provides a lesser degree of interaction between the Detention Staff and offenders.
