Arkansas County Detention Center Overview

Arkansas County Detention Center is operated by the Arkansas County Sheriff's Office. The official sheriff materials identify it as the county's public jail and booking facility, not a state prison. It serves both sides of Arkansas County's two-district geography, with sheriff contacts in DeWitt and Stuttgart and jail staff tied to the DeWitt office. No separate public city jail page was located for Stuttgart, DeWitt, Gillett, St. Charles, Almyra, Humphrey, or other local municipalities, so local arrests should be treated as county jail matters unless a later official source proves another active lockup.

The Arkansas County Detention Center roster shows the jail handles more than fresh arrest bookings. Inspected entries included court orders, failure-to-appear matters, probation and parole violations, holds for other agencies, and ADC commitment style entries. That mix matters for families and bond callers because a listed bond amount may not be the only release issue. A court order, detainer, parole hold, or state commitment can keep a person in custody even when the public roster appears to show a dollar figure.

Arkansas County Detention Center Population

The sheriff's official pages reviewed did not publish a rated bed count for Arkansas County Detention Center. Secondary jail directories report numbers in the mid-130s, but those figures are not official sheriff data and should not be treated as a verified capacity. The best official jail population snapshot from the research was the current inmate roster, which displayed 76 current inmates when inspected on May 28, 2026. That count is a live roster snapshot, not an average daily population and not a formal capacity report.

Historical population data from Vera's county dataset gives useful context, but it is a different measure from the sheriff's live roster. Vera listed an Arkansas County jail population of 75 for 2017, while the sheriff roster snapshot showed 76 current inmates in 2026. Those numbers are close, yet they should not be merged into one trend claim. One is historical dataset material. The other is a public roster count on one inspection date.

Arkansas County Detention Center Roster Lookup

The correct online lookup for current Arkansas County Detention Center custody is the official current inmate roster. The sheriff also publishes a 48-hour release roster for people recently released from the detention center. The roster chooser explains the split between current inmates and people released within the last 48 hours. The county roster does not provide a name search box, booking-number box, export tool, or login screen in the inspected version.

Because the public roster is a browsed list, use the page controls carefully. The Name and Date labels act as sort controls. Current and Released switch between the custody lists. Page numbers matter because the first page is not always the whole roster. For a specific person, open the current roster, use the browser's find command for the last name, and move through each page if the name does not appear on the first screen. If the person was just released, repeat the same check on the 48-hour release list.

1. Open the Arkansas County current roster and scan the newest entries first if the arrest was recent.
2. Use browser find for the last name, then check each roster page because the list uses pagination.
3. Open "View Profile" for the booking number, booking date, mugshot, arresting agency, charges, bond, and VINELink button.
4. If the name is missing, check the 48-hour release roster, then call Arkansas County Detention Center staff.

For broader custody help, the Arkansas County inmate population hub explains how county jail custody differs from state prison and federal custody. For more detail on public roster fields, the Arkansas County jail inmate records page focuses on the roster itself.

Arkansas County Detention Center Contact

Use the jail contact number for custody, booking, bond, charge, and case-number questions tied to Arkansas County Detention Center. The official jail page names Deputy Tyran McCradic as Jail Administrator, Peggy Pitts as Assistant Jail Administrator, and Tabetha Inman as Booking Officer. The sheriff contact material also gives 24-hour district phone numbers for DeWitt and Stuttgart. Routine public counter hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., but jail custody questions can be time-sensitive, so call before traveling.

The sheriff's South District phone is 870-659-2060, and the North District phone is 870-659-2066. Emergency calls go to 911. The sheriff's web contact form warns that email is not monitored 24 hours a day and is not a secure place to send sensitive personal data. For booking, bond, or release questions, a phone call to jail staff is the safer first step.

Arkansas County Detention Center Visitation

No Arkansas County-specific public visitation schedule was located on the sheriff pages reviewed. That absence should be treated as a real access limit, not as permission to import rules from another county. Visitors should call 870-659-2064 before leaving home and ask whether visits are in person, video, suspended, or limited by housing unit. Ask about photo ID, visitor approval, age limits, dress rules, property limits, attorney visits, and whether the person must finish intake before any visit can be scheduled.

Bring a government photo ID if staff confirms that a visit can occur. Do not bring weapons, contraband, recording devices, large bags, cash, or documents into the jail lobby unless staff has told you to do so. The official pages reviewed did not publish a visitor entrance map, parking rules, or ADA entrance details, so travelers who need mobility access or a specific public door should call ahead.

Arkansas County Detention Center Mail

Arkansas County's sheriff pages did not publish county-specific mail rules, commissary vendor information, phone vendor details, money-deposit instructions, kiosk rules, package rules, or fee schedules for Arkansas County Detention Center. State DOC pages discuss Securus, video visits, deposits, tablets, and packages for Arkansas prison inmates, but those are state correctional services and should not be applied to this county jail unless Arkansas County staff confirms the same service.

A safe mail call should be specific: ask for the exact inmate name format, whether the booking number is required, what return address must appear, and what items will be rejected. For money, ask whether deposits are made in person, by kiosk, by phone, or online, and whether Arkansas County uses any third-party service. Do not mail cash, checks, stamps, or packages unless jail staff gives current instructions.

Arkansas County Detention Center Intake

The sheriff's public pages do not publish an internal intake timeline for Arkansas County Detention Center. The roster does show the public outcome of booking: a booking number, booking date and time, mugshot, listed charges, bond amount, and a profile link. Inspected booking numbers used a six-digit numeric format. The sample profile also showed age, gender, race, arresting agency, a VINELink button, and a jail warning that charges and bail amounts may change after court appearances.

A practical custody flow begins with arrest, warrant service, a court order, a probation or parole issue, or another agency hold. The person is then delivered for jail intake, and the public roster entry appears after the booking data is entered. A court case may follow in Search ARCourts, but the jail profile is not the final court docket. If the roster shows "ADC COMMITMENT" or the person later moves to state custody, the Arkansas DOC locator becomes the better follow-up channel.

Booking

The jail intake event that creates a booking number, roster entry, booking date, and initial public charge display.

Hold

A custody reason from another court or agency that may block release even when a bond line appears.

ADC commitment

A status suggesting state correctional custody or state transfer may be involved after county jail processing.

Arkansas County Detention Center Bond

Bond information on the Arkansas County Detention Center roster is useful, but it is not final payment advice. The inspected profile note says charges and bail amounts may change after court appearances and may not be current. It directs bond companies and people who want to post bail to contact detention center staff at 870-659-2064 for the correct bail amount, charges, and case numbers. That warning should control any bond plan.

A $0 bond line does not always mean free release. The roster examples included court orders, ADC commitments, probation or parole violations, and other hold language, and those statuses can change release options. Before bringing money or calling a bondsman, write down the person's name, booking number, booking date, listed charges, displayed bond, and profile note. Then ask staff whether any no-bond hold, court order, warrant, parole/probation detainer, other-agency hold, or ADC commitment prevents release.

Arkansas County Detention Center Directions

The facility address for Arkansas County Detention Center is 1000 Ricebelt Ave., DeWitt, AR 72042. DeWitt is in southern Arkansas County. Travelers from Stuttgart and the northern district generally come south toward DeWitt, while travelers from the Arkansas Post and Gillett side approach from the east or southeast county road network. The official sheriff pages reviewed did not publish turn-by-turn driving routes, public transit directions, visitor parking rates, overflow parking, or a visitor-lobby entrance map.

Call before travel if you are coming for bond, property, a visit, or a records question. Ask which entrance is open to the public, where visitors may park, whether the person has completed intake, and whether the service you need is handled at the jail, the DeWitt district office, the Stuttgart district office, court, or the circuit clerk. This is especially important for visitors who need an accessible entrance, mobility help, or confirmation that the correct staff member is available.

Note: No official public-transit route serving the jail was located in the sheriff pages reviewed, so transportation plans should be confirmed locally.

About Arkansas County Detention Center

Arkansas County Detention Center is the county custody point for adult detention matters documented in the sheriff's public roster. It holds people before final case disposition, people serving short county custody terms, people brought in on court orders, and people with probation, parole, another-agency, or state-custody issues. The public roster may show booking charges, but formal charges, court events, dispositions, and some documents belong in the Arkansas court record system rather than the jail profile.

The roster's VINELink button is useful for notification, not a complete record search. Arkansas VINE covers county jails, the Division of Correction, supervision statuses, and prosecutor court information where participating data is available. Families should still confirm urgent custody, bond, release, and visit details with Arkansas County Detention Center staff. Roster data can lag, charges may change, and releases or transfers may occur before a public page is updated.
