Chicot County Temporary Holding Facility

The Chicot County Temporary Holding Facility is a temporary holding facility.  The accused are transported to the Ashley County Detention Center and if their crime requires it, are incarcerated until they are either bonded out, are released from custody on their own recognizance, or are ordered to remain in custody until the disposition of their trial.

You can also use the inmate search tool to see this facility's roster of those who have been arrested and are still in custody.

Those who are found guilty and sentenced to a term of less than one year, will do their time in Ashley county. Those sentenced to longer terms will be sent to either the Arkansas State Prison System or the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

It's always a good idea to find out and save the inmate's jail ID number or booking number as you may need this for sending mail or other communication needs. If you can't locate it online, you can call Ashley County to get it.

The Chicot County Temporary Holding Facility is licensed for inmates, but it often must make room for many more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in Arkansas turn over at least 40% of their population monthly, 30% more every 90 days, and 20% more every six months, and about 8-9% remain six to twelve months. Inmates 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 Chicot County remain in custody at one of the Chicot County facilities much longer.

Under the Arkansas Constitution, bail is available before trial for every offense except capital crimes where the proof is evident or the presumption is great. In Chicot County, a judge can release a defendant on their own recognizance, impose conditions, or set a bail amount, depending on the case.

Every year, Chicot County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 0 offenders.

Chicot County does not run a full jail of its own. The Chicot County Sheriff’s Office, at 513 Main Street in Lake Village, keeps only a temporary holding area where people are booked and held for a short time after arrest. Anyone who stays in custody longer is moved to a jail in another county under contract, which has typically been the Ashley County Detention Center in Hamburg. Because that arrangement can change, call the sheriff’s office at (870) 265-8020 to find out exactly where your loved one is being held.

Once you know which jail has them, that county’s rules for visits, mail, phone calls and deposits apply, not Chicot’s. If the person is in Ashley County, the jail’s number is (870) 853-2040; ask about video visiting, the correct mailing address and how to put money on their account. You can also register for custody updates through Arkansas’s free VINE notification service.

Wherever they are housed, the court case stays in Chicot County, which is part of Arkansas’s 10th Judicial Circuit. A judge must see the person without unnecessary delay, generally within 48 hours of arrest (Ark. R. Crim. P. 8.1). Everyone is bailable before conviction except in capital cases where the proof is evident or the presumption great (Ark. Const. Art. 2, §8), and judges must consider release on recognizance or with conditions before setting money bail (Rules 9.1–9.2). A bondsman’s premium is set by law at 10% of the bond, rounded up to the nearest $5 and paid before release, plus small state fees (Ark. Code §17-19-301). Look up charges and court dates on Search ARCourts, and if there is a warrant, call the sheriff’s office or an attorney before turning yourself in.

Lake Village has no public bus. If you are driving to the sheriff’s office, Love’s Travel Stop is at 294 U.S. 82 and Exxon is at 1108 U.S. 65. McDonald’s is at 1014 U.S. 65, and Church’s Texas Chicken is at 315 U.S. 65 and 82.
