The Calhoun County Detention Center holds a license for 30 inmates, but it often has to make room for many more offenders, especially on weekends. At most city and county jails in Arkansas, at least 40% of the population turns over every month. Every 90 days, another 30% turns over, and every six months, another 20%. About 8-9% stay incarcerated between six and twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months are typically facing serious charges like rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in Calhoun County remain in custody at one of the Calhoun County facilities much longer.
In Arkansas, bail before trial is a constitutional right for all charges except capital offenses where the proof is evident or the presumption is great. Judges in Calhoun County decide the terms of release, which can range from release on recognizance to conditions of release to a set bail amount.
Approximately 600 offenders are arrested and detained annually by Calhoun County law enforcement agencies.
If someone you care about was picked up in Calhoun County, they are almost certainly at the Calhoun County Detention Center, 449 9th Street in Hampton. The Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office runs this small jail, which has room for roughly 28 to 30 people and holds both men and women. Most people inside are waiting on their cases; others are serving county time or waiting for a transfer to the Arkansas Division of Correction. The main number for the sheriff’s office and jail is (870) 798-2323.
The sheriff’s office posts a current inmate list online at myr2m.com/calhouncoroster, with tabs for current inmates, new bookings and recent releases. Because the jail is small, a phone call is often the quickest way to confirm that someone is there, what they are charged with and whether a bond has been set.
After booking, Arkansas Rule of Criminal Procedure 8.1 requires that the person be brought before a judge without unnecessary delay, generally within 48 hours. Calhoun County is part of Arkansas’s 13th Judicial Circuit. Under Article 2, Section 8 of the Arkansas Constitution, everyone is bailable before conviction except in capital cases where the proof is evident or the presumption great. Rules 9.1 and 9.2 of the Arkansas Rules of Criminal Procedure tell judges to consider release on recognizance or with conditions first, and to set money bail only when nothing else will reasonably ensure the person returns to court. If you use a bail bond agent, Arkansas Code §17-19-301 sets the premium at 10% of the bond, rounded up to the nearest $5, paid in full before release, plus small nonrefundable state fees. Call the jail for accepted payment methods before you drive over.
To look up charges, court dates or an outstanding warrant, use the Arkansas Judiciary’s free case search, Search ARCourts. If you think a warrant is out for you or a family member, talk to the sheriff’s office or a lawyer before turning yourself in so you know what to expect.
Visits, phone calls and deposits can change with staffing and vendors, so call (870) 798-2323 to confirm current visiting times, how to set up a phone or video account and how to add money to an inmate’s account. When you write, put the person’s full name on the envelope and ask the jail for the correct mailing address and any limits on what can be sent.
Hampton has no public bus service; nearly everyone drives to the jail. If you need fuel, Missile Mart is at 109 S. Lee Street and Rusty & Carol’s Sportsman Center is at 543 S. Lee Street. For a quick meal, try Krispy Krunchy Chicken at 122 N. Lee Street or Granny’s Grill & Family Diner at 313 S. Lee Street.
After arrest, individuals are processed at Calhoun County Detention Center, where they undergo a series of steps that determine their charges and whether they’ll be released on their own recognizance, allowed to post bail, or held until their court date.
The first rule for anyone arrested is to remain silent. Anything they say can be used in court, so it’s best to speak only to an attorney about the incident.

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Calhoun County Detention Center?

Choice 1 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Calhoun County Detention Center uses CommissaryDeposit.com to process all online deposits to an inmate's account. The company charges you a small fee for doing so, but the fee probably isn't as much as gas and parking would cost to take it to the jail in person.

Make the Money Order out to the inmate's name and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order.
