The Carroll County Detention Center is licensed for 100 inmates, but it often has to make room for more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in Arkansas turn over their inmate population on roughly this schedule:
- At least 40% each month
- Another 30% every 90 days
- Another 20% every six months
- About 8-9% remain six to twelve months
Anyone held longer than twelve months is usually facing a serious charge like rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in Carroll County remain in custody at one of the Carroll County facilities much longer.
In Arkansas, every defendant is bailable before trial except those charged with capital offenses when the proof is evident or the presumption is great. For all other charges, judges in Carroll County can release the defendant on their own recognizance, set conditions of release, or require bail.
Law enforcement agencies in Carroll County arrest and detain approximately 2,000 offenders every year.
Carroll County has one adult jail, the Carroll County Detention Center at 205 Hailey Road in Berryville, operated by the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office. People arrested in Carroll County are booked here. The jail holds about 100 men and women: mostly people awaiting trial, along with people serving county sentences and those sentenced to the Arkansas Division of Correction who are waiting for a transfer. The sheriff’s office answers around the clock at (870) 423-2901; press 1 for the jail.
Start with the official Carroll County inmate roster. After you accept a short disclaimer, you can view current inmates or a list of people released in the last 48 hours.
Once booked, a person must be taken before a judge without unnecessary delay, generally within 48 hours of arrest (Arkansas Rule of Criminal Procedure 8.1). Carroll County falls in the 19th Judicial Circuit East. Arkansas’s constitution makes everyone bailable before conviction except for capital offenses when the proof is evident or the presumption great (Art. 2, §8), and under Rules 9.1–9.2 judges look first at release on recognizance or with conditions, using money bail only when nothing else will reasonably secure a return to court. On warrants, the sheriff’s office takes cash or surety bonds; it does not accept O/R or property bonds. A licensed bondsman charges a premium of 10% of the bond, rounded up to the nearest $5 and paid in full before release, plus small nonrefundable state fees (Ark. Code §17-19-301). For warrant questions, call (870) 423-2901; court records are on Search ARCourts. Speaking with the sheriff’s office or an attorney before surrendering on a warrant is a smart step.
Visits are by video through Smart Communications at smartinmate.com. You create an account there, and visits and phone calls are arranged through that platform; you can also fund the inmate’s calling account through Smart. Call the jail to confirm current visiting hours and rules.
Personal mail does not go to the jail building. Address letters to: Smart Communications, Carroll County Detention Center, (inmate name and booking number), P.O. Box 9119, Seminole, FL 33775-9119. Money for commissary can be deposited online through Tiger Commissary, at the card kiosk in the sheriff’s office lobby, or with cash or a money order at the window Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., except holidays. Family members can also order food, clothing and hygiene items through Tiger.
No public bus serves the jail; most visitors drive. Near the Hailey Road complex, you can fill up at Murphy USA, 1000 W. Trimble Avenue, or Casey’s, 505 W. Trimble Avenue. For a quick bite, Sonic Drive-In is at 411 W. Trimble Avenue and Taco Bell is at 1000 W. Trimble Avenue.
