The Fulton County Jail holds a license for 30 inmates, but it often has to make room for many more offenders, especially on weekends. At most city and county jails in Arkansas, at least 40% of the population turns over every month. Every 90 days, another 30% turns over, and every six months, another 20%. About 8-9% stay incarcerated between six and twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months are typically facing serious charges like rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in Fulton County remain in custody at one of the Fulton County facilities much longer.

In Arkansas, bail before trial is a constitutional right for all charges except capital offenses where the proof is evident or the presumption is great. Judges in Fulton County decide the terms of release, which can range from release on recognizance to conditions of release to a set bail amount.

Approximately 600 offenders are arrested and detained annually by Fulton County law enforcement agencies.

How do you post bail in Fulton County?

If someone is taken to Fulton County Jail in Salem for booking, the next steps depend on their case:

1. The individual may be released without bail, under a promise to appear at a court hearing.
2. They could be held in custody until their trial.
3. They may post a bail or bond for release. To find out the exact bail amount, call 870-895-2601.

Bail payments can be handled in various ways.

• Cash bonds are paid in full, normally at the jail's bonding window or with the clerk of court, by cash, cashier's check or money order, and card payments are often possible through a kiosk in the lobby or an online vendor for a convenience fee; have the inmate's full name and booking number ready, and reach the jail at 870-895-2601.
• Licensed bail bond agents in Fulton County can facilitate payment.
• Property bonds are available in many courts: an owner may pledge land or a home after proving clear title and equity of at least the bond amount (often double) with the deed and a recent tax or appraisal figure, and the court that set bail decides whether to accept it.
