The Cleburne County Detention Center has a licensed capacity of 90 inmates, yet it is often forced to house many more, especially over the weekend. Most city and county jails in Arkansas see at least 40% of their inmates turn over monthly, another 30% every 90 days, another 20% every six months, and about 8-9% remain between six and twelve months. Stays of more than a year usually involve serious charges such as rape or murder, and because preparing those cases for trial takes time, offenders arrested in Cleburne County can remain in one of the Cleburne County facilities far longer.
Under Arkansas law, bail may be denied only in capital cases where the proof is evident or the presumption is great. For every other charge, a judge in Cleburne County decides whether the defendant is released on their own recognizance, released with conditions, or required to post bail.
Cleburne County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 1,800 offenders every year.
The Cleburne County Detention Center, run by the Cleburne County Sheriff’s Office, stands at 914 South 9th Street in Heber Springs. Its oldest section dates to 1979, with additions in the early 1990s and early 2000s, and it has room for about 70 people. Long-term housing here is for men; women are generally held under contract at another county’s jail, which has been the White County jail in Searcy, so call to confirm where a female relative is. Those inside are mostly awaiting court, along with people serving county sentences and state inmates waiting for transfer to the Arkansas Division of Correction. The detention center’s direct line is (501) 362-2596; the sheriff’s main office is (501) 362-8143.
The sheriff’s office posts its own inmate roster, which replaced the old third-party app in 2025. After accepting the disclaimer, choose “Current Inmates” or “48 Hour Release.” The same roster is in the sheriff’s mobile app under Divisions & Services.
Arkansas law requires a first appearance before a judge without unnecessary delay, generally within 48 hours of arrest (Rule 8.1). Cleburne County belongs to the 16th Judicial Circuit, and case information is on Search ARCourts. Everyone is bailable before conviction except in capital cases where the proof is evident or the presumption great (Ark. Const. Art. 2, §8). Judges weigh release on recognizance or with conditions before setting money bail (Rules 9.1–9.2). If you hire a bondsman, the premium is fixed at 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 detention center for cash bond procedures. If you suspect a warrant, speak with the sheriff’s office or a lawyer before turning yourself in.
There are no in-person visits. Visiting is by video only, through the jail’s kiosk system run by JailATM, seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. JailATM also handles electronic messaging on inmate kiosks and tablets; check its site for account setup and current rates. Regular mail goes to JailATM, not to the jail: JailATM.com – Cleburne County Jail, [Inmate ID]: [Inmate Full Name], 500 Amity Road, Ste 5B, PMB 53, Conway, AR 72032. All mail is checked for contraband, and anything sexually explicit, threatening or drug-related is refused. To fund an account for phone cards, socks, underwear and commissary items, bring cash to the front counter or use the lobby kiosk.
Heber Springs has no fixed-route public bus to the jail; most families drive. Nearby gas is at Shell, 716 S. 7th Street, and Conoco, 212 S. 7th Street. Along Highway 25B you’ll find Taco Bell at 1623 Hwy 25B and Arby’s at 1632 Hwy 25B.

Paying bail for someone in Cleburne County
After being arrested and booked into Cleburne County Detention Center in Heber Springs, the arrestee's situation will proceed in one of three ways:
1. They may be released without bail and required to attend a court hearing.
2. They may be held in custody until their court date.
3. Bail can be posted for their release; call 501-362-2596 for the exact bail amount.
There are multiple ways to pay bail.
- Cash bonds are paid in full at the jail's bonding window or with the clerk of court, accepted as cash, cashier's check or money order, and many jails let you pay by card at a lobby kiosk or with an online bond vendor for a fee; have the inmate's full name and booking number when you go, and the jail is at 501-362-2596.
- Licensed bail bond agents in Cleburne County can facilitate the process.
- Many courts accept a home or land as collateral for bond, as long as the owner proves clear title and equity at least equal to the bond amount (often twice it) with a deed and a current tax or appraisal value, and the court that set bail approves the pledge.
