7. Could someone in the Conway County Jail have another warrant on file?

It's a fair question to ask before you post bond. The sheriff's office can look at the booking for holds or warrants from other agencies when you call 501-354-2411.

The Circuit Clerk in Morrilton can help with felony case numbers at 501-354-9617.

15. Who handles federal cases from Conway County?

Postal inspectors or the ATF carry out most federal arrests, sometimes alongside local police. A federal case is heard by the Eastern District of Arkansas, Central Division, at the courthouse in Little Rock: 500 West Capitol Avenue, Little Rock, AR 72201. For filings and dates, reach the clerk at 501-604-5351. Pretrial services talks with the defendant and reports for the court. Soon after booking, they see a U.S. magistrate judge. Bail isn't a set price in U.S. court. Applying the federal Bail Reform Act, the magistrate holds a release hearing and decides detention or release.

Search for them with the county roster. Before trial, the Marshals Service often holds the person in the Morrilton jail through a contract. The Marshals for this district track federal prisoners. Phone 501-324-6256. The office is at 600 West Capitol Avenue, Suite A328, Little Rock, AR 72201. After a federal sentence, they transfer to a BOP prison. Track them with the federal inmate locator.

16. ICE detainer: how it works

  • ICE learns about most arrests from the prints deputies take. ICE may then place a detainer with the jailers.
  • Rather than walking out, the person can stay up to 48 extra hours so ICE can come. A weekend day won't stop the clock.
  • Paying bond will not lift the detainer.
  • Officers from ICE may come for them at the jail within that window. No pickup by the deadline? By then the request has lapsed, and the jail should release them.
  • Search the online detainee locator by A-number together with birth country. The locator also works with first and last name, native country and DOB when you lack the A-number.
  • Only ICE decides where they go next.
  • Questions about the hold can go to the St. Rose, Louisiana, ICE office: 181 James Drive W, St. Rose, LA 70087, 504-318-2360.

17. Headed to the ADC from Morrilton? How the transfer works

Arkansas's prison system, the ADC, holds people given a felony prison term. For now, they stay in the Morrilton jail while the state sends for them. After that, the ADC moves them to a reception center to be processed. There, the ADC checks security risk, gang links and health and mental health needs. Finally, the ADC sends them to the unit that suits them best.

Use the ADC online search by name or ADC number. The Arkansas prison guide has prison addresses.

18. Is the mugshot online for a Conway County booking?

The sheriff's office decides what to release — the press line is 501-354-2411. Families and reporters can't see federal mugshots in most cases. A booking photo from a federal arrest is shown only via the Marshals Service, for a fugitive or escapee, to aid the search or to alert people, or for urgent community safety. Immigration booking pictures are shared only after ICE's FOIA form is filed and granted.
