This jail is where the county books and processes people arrested for misdemeanors and felonies. After booking and processing, inmates whose charges require it stay in custody until they are bonded out, released on their own recognizance, or held until their trial concludes.
The inmate search tool provides the current roster of people in custody.
Anyone sentenced to less than one year stays at this jail. Anyone sentenced to more than one year is transferred to the Arkansas State Prison System or the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
This page explains how to search the jail roster, get directions, and use inmate services including the visitation schedule, account funding, mail, phone calls, voicemail, email and texting, tablet rentals, bail bonds, and commissary.

The Clark County Jail is licensed for 45 inmates, but it is often forced to make room for many more, especially on weekends. Typical turnover at city and county jails is at least 40% of the inmate population each month, another 30% every 90 days, and another 20% every six months, with approximately 8-9% staying six to twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months usually face serious charges such as rape or murder. Because it takes longer to prepare those cases for trial, offenders arrested in Clark County remain in one of the Clark County facilities much longer.
Under the Arkansas Constitution, everyone charged with a crime is entitled to bail before trial, except for capital offenses when the proof is evident or the presumption is great. For any other charge, judges in Clark County can release a defendant on their own recognizance, set conditions of release, or set a bail amount.
Every year, Clark County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 900 offenders.
The modern brick building that houses the 45 bed Clark County Jail flows into a connection with the courthouse, and is directly across from Juvenile Probation and surrounded by other Clark County buildings and law enforcement. This location provides easy transportation to court dates and appointments, and the large building covers the entire block on one side, providing for all of the detention needs of the community.
The Clark County Jail sits inside the Clark County Sheriff’s Office at 406 South 5th Street in Arkadelphia. It houses men, up to about 50 at a time, most of them awaiting court, plus some serving county sentences or waiting to go to the Arkansas Division of Correction. Women arrested in the county are housed elsewhere, so call to ask where. The jail line, staffed 24 hours, is (870) 246-2222. Sheriff’s office business hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
To confirm that someone is in custody, call the jail or search Arkansas’s VINE system, which tracks people held in county jails and can send you a free alert when their custody status changes. Court cases, charges and hearing dates for Clark County appear on Search ARCourts.
Clark County makes up the 9th Judicial Circuit East. After booking, a judge must see the person without unnecessary delay, generally within 48 hours (Arkansas Rule of Criminal Procedure 8.1). Arkansas law starts from release: the state constitution makes everyone bailable before conviction except for capital offenses when the proof is evident or the presumption great, and Rules 9.1 and 9.2 steer judges toward release on recognizance or conditions, with money bail only if nothing else will reasonably get the person back to court. When a bondsman is used, the premium is 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). Call the jail to ask which payment methods it accepts for cash bonds. If you believe there is a warrant, contact the sheriff’s office or a lawyer before turning yourself in.
Inmate commissary accounts are handled by Tiger Commissary, where family members can deposit money or order items online. Call (870) 246-2222 to confirm current visiting days and times, how phone and video calls work and the right way to address mail. Write the person’s full name on every letter.
There is no public bus to the jail; plan to drive. Fuel is close by at Exxon, 203 N. 10th Street, and Phillips 66, 104 N. 10th Street. Sonic Drive-In is at 303 N. 10th Street, and Burger King is at 2820 Pine Street.
