The Jack Jones Juvenile Justice Center holds a license for 87 inmates, but the actual count is often higher, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in Arkansas have a monthly turnover of at least 40% of their inmates, another 30% every 90 days, another 20% every six months, and roughly 8-9% who stay six to twelve months. Stays of more than twelve months usually involve serious charges such as murder or rape. Since preparing those cases for trial takes time, offenders arrested in Jefferson County are held at one of the Jefferson County facilities much longer.
Under Arkansas’s constitution, the right to bail before trial applies to every offense except capital offenses when the proof is evident or the presumption is great. For any other charge, a Jefferson County judge can set bail, release the defendant on their own recognizance, or release them with conditions.
