Though licensed for 90 inmates, the Columbia County Detention Center often has to house many more offenders, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in Arkansas have a monthly turnover of at least 40%, with another 30% turning over every 90 days, another 20% every six months, and about 8-9% staying six to twelve months. Inmates who stay longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges such as rape or murder. Because those cases take time to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in Columbia County are held in one of the Columbia County facilities much longer.
In Arkansas, all persons charged with a crime are bailable before conviction, except for capital offenses when the proof is evident or the presumption is great. Judges in Columbia County can release defendants on their own recognizance, set conditions of release, or set a bail amount for any other offense.
Every year, Columbia County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 1,800 offenders.
When someone is arrested in Magnolia or anywhere else in Columbia County, they are booked into the Columbia County Detention Center, run by the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office under Sheriff LeRoy Martin. The jail sits at 82 Columbia Road 300, Magnolia, AR 71753, west of downtown. The sheriff’s office number is (870) 235-5655, and the jail’s own line is (870) 901-1575. The facility has room for about 100 people and holds both men and women. Most are awaiting trial on charges brought by the sheriff’s office or the Magnolia Police Department; others are serving county sentences, and some are state inmates waiting to move to the Arkansas Division of Correction or held locally for court. In late September 2026 the jail held 87 people.
The quickest way to check on someone is the sheriff’s online custody roster at arccportal.isoms.cloud:8004/portal/Jail. The same portal lists people released in the past 24 hours at this link and active Columbia County arrest warrants at arccportal.isoms.cloud:8004/portal/Warrants. If your name or a loved one’s appears on the warrant list, call the sheriff’s office or an attorney before going in to turn yourself in. Court records and upcoming hearings are on Search ARCourts at caseinfo.arcourts.gov/opad.
Booking comes first: photographs, fingerprints, a property inventory, and a records check. Arkansas Rule of Criminal Procedure 8.1 then requires that the person see a judge without unnecessary delay, generally within 48 hours of the arrest. That first appearance is usually where release is decided. The Arkansas Constitution (Article 2, §8) makes everyone bailable before conviction except in capital cases where the proof is evident or the presumption great, and Rules 9.1–9.2 tell judges to consider release on recognizance or with conditions before setting money bail. If you use a bondsman, Arkansas law fixes the premium at 10% of the bond, rounded up to the nearest $5, paid in full before release, plus small state fees that are not refunded.
Visiting schedules and video visit options change from time to time, so call the jail at (870) 901-1575 to confirm current visiting times, how to get on a person’s visitor list, and what ID to bring. The same call will tell you how to put money on an account for commissary and phone time.
Letters go to the person’s full name and inmate ID number, Columbia County Detention Center, 82 Columbia Road 300, Magnolia, AR 71753. Put your full name and return address in the top left corner, or the mail may not be delivered. Use blue or black ink, skip glitter, stickers, perfume, crayon, and musical cards, and have books and magazines shipped straight from the publisher (softcover only). Photos are fine as long as they are not Polaroids and contain nothing sexual or gang-related.

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Columbia County Detention Center?
There are two options for putting money on an inmate's books:
Choice 1 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Columbia County Detention Center uses CommissaryDeposit.com to process all online deposits to an inmate's account. The company charges you a small fee for doing so, but the fee probably isn't as much as gas and parking would cost to take it to the jail in person.
Choice 2 - Mail the Inmate Deposit to the Jail
Mailing a deposit takes more time to process than the other methods but can be done if you live too far away to bring it in person and you don't have a debit/credit card for online deposits. Never send cash. Always send a Money Order from the US Post Office, a reputable bank or Western Union.
Make the Money Order out to the inmate's name and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order.
**Call 870-234-5331 first to ask Columbia County Detention Center if this option is still available.
