• Booking fingerprints are run with U.S. databases that ICE uses. ICE may then file a detainer.
• Even with bond posted, this hold remains on file.
• Under that form, ICE asks the jailers not to release them at most two days beyond the time they'd go free. Once the 48 hours pass, the hold request expires.
• Officers from ICE may pick them up during the hold. If the pickup doesn't happen, this means the person goes free.
• The next stop depends on ICE.
• Relatives can look for them online at the ICE detainee locator; it needs the A-number and where they were born. Families without the A-number can use DOB, birth country and the full legal name.

If the court imposes a state sentence, the person is now an ADC inmate under the Arkansas Division of Correction. For now, they stay in the Heber Springs jail while the ADC finds a bed. The transfer lands them at reception, and there new prisoners are processed. Workers there sort everyone for medical and mental health needs, any gang ties and security risk. The next step is the prison that suits their rating.

The ADC inmate search lists their unit once they arrive. For prison details, see Arkansas prison pages.

Yes. Open a name in the Cleburne inmate roster and Cleburne mugshots load with it. Not every Cleburne entry has a photo yet.

ICE booking photos must be requested with ICE's online FOIA request; ICE decides. When a mugshot isn't online, reporters may phone the sheriff's office, 501-362-2596, and ask. Families and the media cannot get federal mugshots as a rule. Marshals policy limits release to a few cases: to find a wanted fugitive, to aid a capture or alert the community or if it is needed at once to keep people safe.
