To find out who is currently in custody, search the roster with the inmate search tool.
Inmates who are sentenced to less than one year remain here to serve their time. Inmates with longer sentences are transferred to the Arkansas State Prison System or the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
This page has details on the visitation schedule, inmate account funding, sending mail, phone calls, voicemail, email and texting, tablet rentals, bail bonds, and commissary.

The Crittenden County Detention Center is licensed for 350 inmates at any given time, yet it is often forced to make room for many more offenders, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in Arkansas turn over at least 40% of their population monthly, another 30% every 90 days, and another 20% every six months. Approximately 8-9% remain incarcerated between six and twelve months. Inmates who stay beyond twelve months are usually facing serious charges like rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in Crittenden County stay in custody at one of the Crittenden County facilities much longer.
Every person charged with a crime in Arkansas is entitled to bail before trial, except in capital cases where the proof is evident or the presumption is great. Judges in Crittenden County have discretion to release a defendant on their own recognizance, set conditions, or set a bail amount.
Every year, law enforcement agencies in Crittenden County arrest and detain approximately 7,400 offenders.
Run by the Crittenden County Sheriff’s Office under Sheriff Mike Allen, the Crittenden County Detention Center is a 350-bed jail at 350 Afco Road, West Memphis, AR 72301, in the same complex as the sheriff’s office. It holds adult men and women charged with misdemeanors and felonies, along with people serving county sentences and state inmates waiting for transfer to the Arkansas Division of Correction. A separate juvenile unit operates on its own. The public lobby is open 24 hours a day for payments and bonds; administrative offices are open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., at (870) 702-2010. The non-emergency dispatch line is (870) 702-2000.
The jail runs a work release and regional maintenance program in which detainees help with county projects, and non-violent offenders can earn a GED through MidSouth Community College, with about 20 graduates a year.
To find out whether someone is being held, check the sheriff’s online jail roster at crittcoso.com/detention-center/online-jail-roster, which shows booking photos, arrest dates, charges, and bond amounts; the sheriff also offers a jail roster app. Court information is available through Search ARCourts at caseinfo.arcourts.gov/opad. If you suspect a warrant, call the sheriff’s office or an attorney before you turn yourself in.
Following booking, the person must go before a judge without unnecessary delay, generally within 48 hours, under Arkansas Rule of Criminal Procedure 8.1. Bail is a constitutional right before conviction in Arkansas (Article 2, §8), except in capital cases where the proof is evident or the presumption great, and Rules 9.1–9.2 lead judges to consider release on recognizance or conditions first. Bonds can be posted at the lobby any hour of the day. The sheriff’s office keeps a list of bail bond companies licensed in Crittenden County but does not recommend one. By state law, a bondsman’s premium is 10% of the bond, rounded up to the nearest $5, paid in full before release, plus small nonrefundable state fees.
All visits are by video; there are no contact visits. Visits use City Tele-Coin booths at the jail or a remote connection, and all are by appointment; call (870) 702-2052 to schedule. Visiting days follow the inmate’s last name: Tuesday for A–F, Wednesday for G–L, Thursday for M–R, and Friday for S–Z, from 8:15 to 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. Each inmate gets one 15-minute visit a week. Bring a state-issued ID. Children under 18 must stay with a parent or legal guardian, who needs a birth certificate or guardianship papers. Leave phones, purses, and bags in the car, and skip halter tops, tube tops, and sheer or revealing clothing.
For commissary, deposit online through Tiger Commissary, use the cash-and-card kiosk in the lobby, or mail a money order (no personal checks) with the detainee’s name on it to Crittenden County Sheriff Dept., 350 Afco Rd., West Memphis, AR 72301. Commissary questions go to (870) 702-2096, weekdays 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Letters use the same address with the person’s full name and ID number; books and magazines must come from the publisher, and hardcovers are not allowed. City Tele Coin provides inmate phones; set up an account at (800) 682-0707.
West Memphis has no public bus serving the jail, so plan to drive. Murphy USA at 646 West Service Road and Kroger Fuel Center at 300 West Service Road are a short drive away. For food, try Krystal at 1804 N Missouri Street or Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen at 1344 N Missouri Street.

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Crittenden County Detention Center?
There are three choices for putting money on an inmate's books:
Choice 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail
Bring money to the jail in person.
Jail personnel will process the Inmate Account payment.
Crittenden County Detention Center has a Tiger Kiosk in the Lobby that accepts cash, debit or credit cards.
If you can't get your questions answered online call the Crittenden County Detention Center at 870-702-2010.
Choice 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Crittenden County Detention Center and others often use a private company 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 3 - 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 Crittenden County Detention Center at 870-702-2010 to confirm the address to send the money order to and how they want it made out.
Failure to do this properly will delay your inmate getting his account credited and may require you to have to resubmit a second money order.
