The Fulton County Jail is licensed for 30 inmates, though it is often forced to accept many more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in Arkansas turn over at least 40% of inmates monthly, 30% more every 90 days, and 20% more every six months, with roughly 8-9% remaining six to twelve months. Stays of more than a year are usually tied to serious charges like rape or murder. Those cases take longer to prepare for trial, so offenders arrested in Fulton County remain at one of the Fulton County facilities much longer.

Every defendant in Arkansas has a constitutional right to bail before conviction, except those charged with capital offenses when the proof is evident or the presumption is great. Judges in Fulton County can set bail for any other charge, or release the defendant on their own recognizance or with conditions.

Each year, Fulton County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 600 offenders.

Paying bail for someone in custody in Fulton County

Once someone is booked at Fulton County Jail in Salem after an arrest, there are several outcomes:

2. They may remain in custody until their court appearance.

Bail payments can take several forms.

• The full cash bond is paid at the jail's bonding window or at the clerk of court using cash, a cashier's check or a money order, while many jails add a card option at a lobby kiosk or through an online bond service for a fee; bring the inmate's full name and booking number, and call the jail at 870-895-2601 with questions.
• A licensed bail bond agent in Fulton County can help cover bail.
• Many courts take real estate as security for a bond; the property owner must show clear title plus equity at least equal to the bond, often twice it, backed by a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value, and the court that set the bail gives final approval.
