If you still have questions, call the Johnson County Detention Center at 479-754-2200.
The Johnson County Detention Center has a licensed capacity of 76 inmates, yet it is often forced to house many more, especially over the weekend. Most city and county jails in Arkansas see at least 40% of their inmates turn over monthly, another 30% every 90 days, another 20% every six months, and about 8-9% remain between six and twelve months. Stays of more than a year usually involve serious charges such as rape or murder, and because preparing those cases for trial takes time, offenders arrested in Johnson County can remain in one of the Johnson County facilities far longer.
Under Arkansas law, bail may be denied only in capital cases where the proof is evident or the presumption is great. For every other charge, a judge in Johnson County decides whether the defendant is released on their own recognizance, released with conditions, or required to post bail.
Johnson County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 1,520 offenders every year.
The 76-bed Johnson County Detention Center is responsible for the housing and care of those who are accused or convicted of committing a misdemeanor or felony in Johnson County as they wait for their trial or as they serve their sentence, usually less than one year.
It serves many law enforcement organizations including the Sheriff’s Department, local police, Immigration, and other surrounding counties as needed.
If you have questions regarding an inmate or the programs and services provided, the staff can be reached at 479-754-2200, and an online listing of all the detainees is published for your own investigation.
Upon intake, the booking process is completed, which includes a medical screening, fingerprinting and mugshots, DNA sample, along with an assessment to determine security needs, medical needs, mental health requirements, and housing assignment.
Staff is available to transport all inmates to court dates and any medical appointments or emergency needs, as well as inspecting all mail for contraband, receiving commissary funds and other money for inmates, maintaining the safety of the community and the security of the facility, and other tasks.
The Johnson County Detention Center also provides several other services to inmates including basic needs in meals, laundry, and hygiene items, and programs including AA, counseling, religious programs, education, recreation, and opportunities to grow social and life skills.
Along with the efforts made by the staff, reduced recidivism is seen when inmates are able to stay in contact and supported by their family or friends who are not incarcerated so mail, phones, and visits are provided.
Visits are in person, and are via video and an account is created online to book and complete visits, allowing both visitors and inmates to schedule a visit.
Phone accounts are also registered online, and allow for inmates to make outgoing calls during the daytime and evening hours when they are not participating in a task or program.
Information for money for an inmate’s commissary can be found on our Inmate Money page.
