Howard County Detention Facility Inmate Search
Our Frequently Asked Questions and Answers have everything you need to know about finding an inmate in the Howard County Detention Facility, how jail rosters work, and what happens after booking.
For questions the FAQs don’t answer, call the Howard County Detention Facility at 870-845-2626.
The Howard County Detention Facility is licensed to house 40 inmates, but it is often forced to hold many more, particularly on weekends. Across most city and county jails in Arkansas, at least 40% of inmates turn over within a month, another 30% within 90 days, and another 20% within six months, and about 8-9% stay six to twelve months. When an inmate is held longer than twelve months, it’s usually because they face a serious charge like rape or murder. Those cases take time to prepare for trial, so offenders arrested in Howard County remain in one of the Howard County facilities much longer.
The Arkansas Constitution guarantees bail before conviction for all offenses except capital crimes where the proof is evident or the presumption is great. In Howard County, judges consider the charge and the defendant’s circumstances when deciding whether to set bail, impose conditions, or release the person on their own recognizance.
Every year, Howard County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 800 offenders.
If someone you care about was arrested in Nashville, Dierks, Mineral Springs or anywhere else in Howard County, they were most likely booked into the Howard County Detention Facility at 101 Isaac Perkins Blvd., Nashville, AR 71852. The Howard County Sheriff’s Office runs the jail, and the front desk answers around the clock at (870) 845-2626. It is a small jail of about 41 beds holding both men and women: mostly people waiting on their court cases, along with people serving county time and people sentenced to the Arkansas Division of Correction who are waiting to be transferred.
To see whether your loved one is in custody, start with the sheriff’s current inmate roster at howardcountysheriffar.com/roster.php. It shows booking details, charges and, in many cases, bond amounts. If the name doesn’t appear yet, booking may still be underway, so give it a few hours and call the jail.
After booking, Arkansas Rule of Criminal Procedure 8.1 requires that an arrested person be brought before a judge without unnecessary delay, generally within 48 hours. Under Article 2, §8 of the Arkansas Constitution, everyone is bailable before conviction except in capital cases where the proof is evident or the presumption great. Judges look first at release on the person’s own recognizance or with conditions (Rules 9.1–9.2) and set money bail only when nothing else will reasonably make sure the person returns to court. When a bail bond company is used, Arkansas Code §17-19-301 sets the premium at 10% of the bond, rounded up to the nearest $5, paid in full before release, plus small state-required nonrefundable fees. Call the jail for the bond amount and the payment methods it accepts. To check for court dates or an open case, use Search ARCourts at caseinfo.arcourts.gov/opad. If you think there’s a warrant, talk with the sheriff’s office or an attorney before turning yourself in.
