The Benton County Juvenile Detention Center is licensed for 20 inmates, but it is often forced to make room for many more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in Arkansas turn over their population on this schedule:
- At least 40% monthly
- Another 30% every 90 days
- Another 20% every six months
- About 8-9% remain six to twelve months
Offenders held longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges like rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in Benton County remain in custody at one of the Benton County facilities much longer.
Anyone charged with a crime in Arkansas has a constitutional right to bail before trial, unless the charge is a capital offense and the proof is evident or the presumption is great. Judges in Benton County can set bail for any other charge, or release the defendant on their own recognizance or under specific conditions.
Approximately 13,780 offenders are arrested and detained each year by Benton County law enforcement agencies.
What is the booking process for the Benton County Juvenile Detention Center?
After being arrested, the offender is brought to the Benton County Juvenile Detention Center for booking, which is the detailed process of identifying, classifying, deciding on charges, and whether the person will either be released on their own recognizance, allowed to be released on bail, or moved into the jail until their court date.
The first thing every newly arrested person must do is close their mouth. Everything an offender says may be used against them, so the best thing to do is remain silent when questioned about the arrest and what led to it.
