With a licensed capacity of 100 inmates, the Sheridan Detention Center 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 every month. Another 30% turns over every 90 days and another 20% every six months, while about 8-9% stay between six and twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months are generally facing serious charges like rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in Grant County stay in custody at one of the Grant County facilities much longer.

The only charges for which bail can be denied in Arkansas are capital offenses where the proof is evident or the presumption is great. For all other offenses, Grant County judges may release a defendant on their own recognizance, set conditions of release, or set bail.

Each year, Grant County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 2,000 offenders.

How does the booking process work at Sheridan Detention Center?

Inmate Bail and Bonding

What is the process to pay bail for someone detained in Grant County?

After an individual is apprehended and taken to Sheridan Detention Center in Sheridan for booking, their release options vary based on the situation:

1. They might be released without bail, on the condition they appear in court on a scheduled date.
2. They may be detained until their court appearance.
3. They may be eligible for release after posting a bail or bond.  Call 870-942-5512 for the exact bail amount.

There are different ways to settle an individual's bail or bond.

  • To post a cash bond, pay the full amount at the jail bonding window or the clerk's office by cash, cashier's check or money order; many facilities also accept cards at a lobby kiosk or through an online bond vendor for a fee, and you will need the inmate's full name and booking number (jail phone: 870-942-5512).
  • A licensed bail bondsman in Grant County can assist with payment.
  • Real property such as land or a house is accepted as collateral by many courts, provided the owner proves clear title and equity worth at least the bond, frequently twice the bond, with a deed and a current tax or appraisal value; the court that set bail signs off on it.
