Hot Spring County Jail

The Hot Spring County Jail is licensed for 50 inmates, but it often has to make room for many more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in Arkansas turn over at least 40% of their inmates monthly, another 30% every 90 days, and another 20% every six months, while approximately 8-9% stay six to twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges like rape or murder, and because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in Hot Spring County remain in custody at one of the Hot Spring County facilities much longer.
Arkansas’s constitution makes every defendant eligible for bail before trial, with one exception: capital offenses where the proof is evident or the presumption is great. In all other cases, a Hot Spring County judge can release the person on their own recognizance, impose release conditions, or set bail.
Each year, Hot Spring County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 1,000 offenders.
The windowless façade of the 50-bed Hot Spring County Jail clearly shows its purpose, leaving one to wonder what goes on behind those walls. It stands just outside of town with empty fields around it, housing all of the inmates who have been arrested and charged on misdemeanor or felony charges both before their trial and after their sentence.
It opened in March 2009 and has been operational since, providing services for all of Hot Spring County and ensuring a safe and secure environment for all inmates.
The Hot Spring County Detention Center is run by the Hot Spring County Sheriff’s Office. It sits at 1 Detention Lane, Malvern, AR 72104, and the jail phone is (501) 332-7410. The sheriff’s administrative office is at 215 East Highland Street (weekdays 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.), with a 24-hour non-emergency line at (501) 337-7738. One common mix-up: the city of Hot Springs is in Garland County, not Hot Spring County, so an arrest in Hot Springs goes to the Garland County jail.
The jail has room for about 50 inmates and houses men, most of them awaiting court, along with people serving county sentences and state inmates waiting for transfer. If a woman has been arrested in the county, call the jail to find out where she’s being held. Start your search with the sheriff’s Hot Spring County inmate roster, which shows current inmates and those released within 48 hours. The sheriff’s website also has a most wanted list; talk to the sheriff’s office or an attorney before turning yourself in on a warrant.
A new arrestee must see a judge without unnecessary delay, generally within 48 hours (Rule 8.1). Hot Spring County shares the 7th Judicial Circuit with Grant County, and you can follow the case on Search ARCourts. Everyone is bailable before conviction except in capital cases where the proof is evident or the presumption great (Ark. Const. Art. 2, §8). Judges consider recognizance or conditions first and set money bail only when nothing else will ensure a court return (Rules 9.1–9.2). If you use a bondsman, the fee is 10% of the bond, rounded up to the nearest $5, paid before release, plus small state fees (Ark. Code §17-19-301).
To add money for commissary, go to citytelecoin.com and choose “Commissary Deposit.” Address letters with the inmate’s full name to Hot Spring County Detention Center, 1 Detention Lane, Malvern, AR 72104, and include your return address. Call the jail at (501) 332-7410 to confirm current visiting times and phone account setup.
No public bus serves the jail; most visitors drive. Phillips 66 at 819 East Page Avenue and Malvern Stop N Shop at 1309 East Page Avenue are close by. For a quick meal, try Andy’s at 1100 East Page Avenue or Wendy’s at 1902 Martin Luther King Boulevard.

Steps involved in booking at Hot Spring County Jail
After an arrest, the individual is brought to Hot Spring County Jail for the booking process. This procedure involves identifying the person, determining charges, and deciding whether they’ll be released on their own recognizance, posted for bail, or held until court.
Remaining silent is highly recommended, as anything said can later be used in court. Wait for legal advice before responding to questions.
The booking process typically involves the following steps at Hot Spring County Jail:
- Identification confirmation.
- Photographs (mugshots).
- Answering questions regarding health and criminal background.
- Potential DNA collection.
- Conducting a physical search.
- Seizing personal property.
- Providing a free phone call.

How to pay bail in Hot Spring County for an arrestee
Once an individual is booked at Hot Spring County Jail in Malvern, options for their release include:
1. Release without paying bail, with a commitment to appear in court.
2. Continued detention until their court date.
3. Release upon paying a bail or bond. Call 501-332-7410 for the bail amount.
Bail can be paid through various methods.
- Bring the full cash bond to the jail's bonding window or the clerk of court and pay by cash, cashier's check or money order; many jails also take debit or credit cards for a fee through a lobby kiosk or an online bond vendor, and staff will need the inmate's full name and booking number (jail: 501-332-7410).
- A licensed bail bondsman in Hot Spring County can assist with the process.
- An owner can often pledge land or a home as bond collateral by proving clear title and equity worth at least the bond, frequently double the bond, with a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value; the court that set bail must approve the property before release.

There are two options for putting money on an inmate's books:
Choice 1 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Hot Spring County Jail uses CommissaryDeposit.com 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 2 - 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 501-332-7410 first to ask Hot Spring County Jail if this option is still available.
