The Cleburne County Detention Center’s Official Jail Inmate Roster lets you search for an inmate and view their charges, bond amount, visitation eligibility, and mugshot. If you’d rather speak with staff, call 501-362-2596. The state also lets you look up an offender’s Cleburne County Criminal Court Case, along with any other court case in Arkansas.
Finding out whether you or someone you know has a warrant in Cleburne County or another city or town in Arkansas starts with a search on the state’s Criminal Court Case page. Review the docket entries for a bench warrant, a failure to appear, or active charges. If there is a warrant, contact your attorney. If you can’t afford one, you will be assigned one after you are arrested, booked, and processed.

Although the Cleburne County Detention Center is licensed for 90 inmates, it frequently holds more than that, particularly on weekends. City and county jails in Arkansas typically turn over at least 40% of their population every month, another 30% every 90 days, and another 20% every six months, with roughly 8-9% staying six to twelve months. Inmates who stay longer than a year are usually charged with serious crimes like murder or rape. Those cases take a long time to prepare for trial, so offenders arrested in Cleburne County for them stay in one of the Cleburne County facilities much longer.
Arkansas’s constitution allows bail to be denied only for capital offenses when the proof is evident or the presumption is great. Everyone else charged with a crime is eligible for bail, and judges in Cleburne County can also release defendants on their own recognizance or with conditions.
Approximately 1,800 offenders are arrested and detained each year by Cleburne County law enforcement agencies.
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.

How to pay bail in Cleburne County for an arrestee
Once an individual is booked at Cleburne County Detention Center in Heber Springs, options for their release include:
1. Release without paying bail, with a commitment to appear in court.
2. Continued detention until their court date.
3. Release upon paying a bail or bond. Call 501-362-2596 for the bail amount.
Bail can be paid through various methods.
- Bring the full cash bond to the jail's bonding window or the clerk of court and pay by cash, cashier's check or money order; many jails also take debit or credit cards for a fee through a lobby kiosk or an online bond vendor, and staff will need the inmate's full name and booking number (jail: 501-362-2596).
- A licensed bail bondsman in Cleburne County can assist with the process.
- An owner can often pledge land or a home as bond collateral by proving clear title and equity worth at least the bond, frequently double the bond, with a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value; the court that set bail must approve the property before release.
