• Booking fingerprints get checked through U.S. records that ICE reviews. Then ICE might file a detainer.
• Through a detainer, ICE requests the sheriff not to release them no more than two days past the scheduled release. The jail cannot push it past 48 hours.
• Even after bail is posted, this hold stays in place.
• ICE officers can pick them up during the hold. Should the deadline pass with no ICE officers, the jail must release them.
• Only ICE picks where they go next.
• The office for Arkansas is the New Orleans field office: 181 James Drive W, St. Rose, LA 70087, 504-318-2360.

The state's prison system, the ADC, holds people given state time. Before that, the person waits in the Magnolia jail while the ADC has room. The transfer ends at intake, and there they get processed. At intake, the ADC looks at physical and mental health, gang connections and their risk level. The final step is a unit that fits them.

You can find an ADC inmate by name with the state inmate lookup. The state prison guide covers prison addresses.

Yes. Columbia County mugshots appear in the Columbia inmate roster, next to each name. Some Columbia entries load the photo slowly.

Photos ICE took aren't handed out on request. Instead, use an ICE FOIA request, which the agency reviews. To ask for a mugshot that isn't public, reporters should phone the sheriff's office at 870-234-5331. Federal agencies don't share mugshots with the press or the public. A Marshals release is rare: for a fugitive or escapee, if there's an immediate safety need or if the photo could help find them or warn people.
