The White River Juvenile Detention Center is licensed for 52 inmates, but it often must make room for many more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in Arkansas turn over at least 40% of their population monthly, 30% more every 90 days, and 20% more every six months, and about 8-9% remain six to twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges like rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in Independence County remain in custody at one of the Independence County facilities much longer.

Under the Arkansas Constitution, bail is available before trial for every offense except capital crimes where the proof is evident or the presumption is great. In Independence County, a judge can release a defendant on their own recognizance, impose conditions, or set a bail amount, depending on the case.

Every year, Independence County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 2,640 offenders.
