Kayenta District Adult and Juvenile Facility Overview
Kayenta District Adult and Juvenile Facility is operated by the Navajo Nation Department of Corrections. The official Navajo Nation page places the facility 1/4 mile west of Milepost 394 on U.S. Highway 163 in Kayenta, Arizona. The mailing address captured in the research is Kayenta Adult Corrections, P.O. Box 4245, Kayenta, AZ 86033.
This facility matters for Navajo County inmate-search work because the county overlaps with the Navajo Nation and tribal jurisdiction. A person detained under Navajo Nation correctional authority should not be assumed to appear in the Navajo County Inmate Housing Report. The county roster covers adult county custody through the Navajo County Adult Detention Facility. Kayenta District is a separate tribal access channel with its own intake, control, administration, and fax numbers.
The facility is both adult and juvenile. That requires careful wording. Adult jail roster assumptions, mugshot assumptions, and county bond assumptions should not be applied to every person associated with Kayenta District. Juvenile capacity also means privacy and access limits may differ from adult public-record expectations. The official research did not document a public online inmate search for Kayenta District, so phone confirmation is the practical documented route.
The official Navajo Nation Kayenta District page provides the matched facility address, capacity, and phone contacts.
Those direct Navajo Nation contacts are the best starting point when the person is believed to be in Kayenta District custody.
Kayenta District Adult and Juvenile Facility Capacity and Population
The Navajo Nation Department of Corrections Kayenta District page lists capacity as 84 inmates, with 80 adult beds and 4 juvenile beds. That figure belongs to the tribal Kayenta facility, not to the Navajo County Adult Detention Facility and not to Arizona State Prison Complex - Winslow. The research did not capture a current daily population count for Kayenta District, so the capacity figure should not be treated as a live count of people in custody.
BJS jail statistics can treat Indian Country detention separately from ordinary county jail datasets, so tribal capacity should not be blended into county jail population trend numbers. If a family needs a current custody answer, the direct Kayenta District intake or control number is more useful than a county jail capacity table.
How to Look Up Custody at Kayenta District Adult and Juvenile Facility
No separate official online inmate search field inventory was located for Kayenta District during the research sweep. The documented lookup path is direct contact with Navajo Nation Department of Corrections Kayenta District. Do not use the Navajo County Inmate Housing Report as the primary lookup for this facility, and do not use the ADCRR locator unless the person has been sentenced into Arizona state prison custody.
- Start with the Kayenta District intake number, 928-697-5601, when asking about a recent intake or custody status.
- Use the control number, 928-697-5615, if intake does not resolve the immediate routing question.
- Use administration, 928-697-5610 or 928-697-5624, for facility policy, visitation, mail, or non-urgent administrative questions.
- Compare the person's name, date of birth, and jurisdiction carefully because county, tribal, state, federal, and immigration systems are separate.
- If Kayenta District does not confirm custody, check the county jail, ADCRR, BOP, ICE ODLS, or court channels based on the arrest authority and case type.
For county arrests in Navajo County adult custody, use jail inmate records. For sentenced Arizona state prisoners, use the ADCRR locator and the ASPC-Winslow page if the listed location is Winslow. For federal custody, use the BOP locator. For immigration detention, use ICE ODLS.
Kayenta District Adult and Juvenile Facility Address and Contact
The official source gives several direct channels. These are more relevant than the Navajo County Sheriff's Office number when the person is believed to be in Kayenta District tribal custody. Because the source includes both adult and juvenile capacity, callers should be prepared for privacy limits, identity-verification questions, and different rules depending on the custody status.

Visiting Someone at Kayenta District Adult and Juvenile Facility
The accessible official Kayenta District page did not provide a captured visitation schedule, remote visit system, visitor-approval form, ID rule table, dress code, or fee schedule in the research. Because this is a tribal adult and juvenile facility, the safer documented instruction is to call before traveling and ask the facility which rules apply to the specific detainee. Do not assume Navajo County jail visitation hours, ADCRR prison schedules, or county remote visit fees apply here.
| Question | Documented Source Status | Call to Confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Visitation schedule | Exact schedule not captured from official page | Call administration at 928-697-5610 or 928-697-5624. |
| Current custody / intake | Direct intake phone documented | Call intake at 928-697-5601. |
| Day-of-visit status | Not captured from official page | Call control at 928-697-5615 before traveling. |
| Juvenile-related visit limits | Facility has 4 juvenile beds; privacy rules may differ | Ask administration what information can be released. |
When calling, ask whether the person is eligible for visits, what identification is required, whether visitors must be approved in advance, where to enter, and whether the visit is contact, non-contact, video, or another approved format. For juveniles, expect less public information than in an adult county jail roster.
Mail, Phone, and Money at Kayenta District Adult and Juvenile Facility
The research captured the Kayenta mailing address, but it did not capture specific mail rules, a money-deposit vendor, a phone vendor, a video provider, commissary rules, or a fee table from the accessible official page. Use the Navajo Nation Department of Corrections Kayenta District contacts for current instructions before sending mail, money, books, photos, or other items. The county jail's TextBehind address and JailATM rules should not be applied to this facility.
| Service | Documented Detail | Practical Next Step |
|---|---|---|
| Mailing address | Kayenta Adult Corrections, P.O. Box 4245, Kayenta, AZ 86033 | Call to confirm required name, ID number, labels, and prohibited items. |
| Phone calls | Provider not captured | Ask intake or administration how detainee calls are set up. |
| Money / commissary | Vendor and fee rules not captured | Ask whether deposits are accepted and what payment methods are allowed. |
| Books / photos | Rules not captured | Do not mail until the facility confirms current rules. |
If a caller is redirected to a district office or another Navajo Nation corrections contact, follow that official routing. Tribal correctional facilities may update practices without the same public web layout used by county jails.
Intake and Jurisdiction at Kayenta District Adult and Juvenile Facility
Kayenta District should be understood through jurisdiction, not just geography. Navajo County geography overlaps the Navajo Nation, and some arrests or detentions in the region may be handled through tribal authority rather than the county sheriff. That means a person may be physically in or near Navajo County but not appear in the county adult inmate grid. The County Attorney research also notes that many crimes on tribal lands may fall under federal or tribal jurisdiction, while some cases can still be prosecuted by Navajo County depending on the facts and offense.
For an adult county booking, the Navajo County grid shows booking number, name, date of birth, and location. Kayenta District did not have a documented online search grid in the source sweep. For juveniles, records may be more restricted and should not be treated as ordinary public jail roster entries. For a person believed to be in federal proceedings, use federal court channels, BOP when sentenced or designated, and ICE ODLS if immigration detention is involved.
About Kayenta District Adult and Juvenile Facility
Kayenta District is a regional custody resource for Navajo Nation correctional authority. Its presence in the Navajo County area makes it important for families who do not find a person in the county jail roster. The most useful first question is not simply "is this a Navajo County inmate?" but "which authority has custody?" County, tribal, state, federal, and immigration systems each have different lookup tools and different public-record boundaries.
Arizona VINELink may be useful for custody notifications where supported, but it should not replace a direct facility call when the research shows no public Kayenta District search form. Court records may explain charges or case status, but the court path also depends on jurisdiction. Tribal court, federal court, county Justice Court, and Superior Court records are not one shared database.
Because the facility includes adult and juvenile beds, avoid treating every custody question as an adult booking-photo or mugshot question. The research did not document a Kayenta mugshot search, and juvenile-related information can be limited by confidentiality rules and facility policy.
Note: Call Kayenta District before visiting, mailing items, or relying on any county jail lookup result.
