For individuals that are awaiting trial and unable to post a bond or defendants serving a term of incarceration as a term of probation, the Mohave County Jail becomes their temporary home. Being locked up in the county jail can be a very isolating experience. Fortunately family and friends of defendants have the opportunity to visit their loved ones who are locked up. These visits can bring welcome comfort to a situation that is usually filled with great despair.
