The Little River Detention Center is at 2115 North Constitution Avenue in Ashdown, AR 71822, on the north edge of town. Arrests by Ashdown police and deputies from Foreman, Winthrop and the lake area all end up here.

Little River County's VINELink page opens the statewide victim notification lookup. Pick Arkansas, type the name, and it will say whether the person is in custody. It won't always show the charge or bond, so call the sheriff for those.

If the arrest happened without a warrant, an Arkansas judge has two days to decide there was reasonable cause. The person then sees a judge in Ashdown, often by video, where bond and a lawyer are discussed.

District court in Ashdown handles misdemeanors and the first stage of felony cases. Felony trials belong to the circuit judge. See court process.

After the judge names an amount, you can pay all of it, and it's returned when the case closes if the defendant never misses court. A licensed bondsman can post it instead for a fee that tops out at ten percent and isn't refunded. Check the figure with the sheriff first. See bail.

When a defendant tells the Ashdown judge they have no money for counsel, the court looks at their income and can assign the public defender.

These cases come from Homeland Security Investigations and the Marshals Service. Hearings for Ashdown cases happen at the federal courthouse in Texarkana, 500 North State Line Avenue, Room 302, Texarkana, AR 71854, part of Arkansas's Western District, Texarkana Division. Nobody staffs the clerk's desk in Texarkana; the district clerk's line, 833-853-0345, handles questions. An initial appearance happens within a day or two, before a U.S. magistrate judge. Expect questions with pretrial services; the answers go to the judge. Nobody uses a bail chart in federal court. A short hearing settles what conditions apply, using the Bail Reform Act.

Search the county roster, where a Marshals hold may show. Until sentencing, the Marshals Service may place the person in local jails through a contract. The district's Marshals staff in Fort Smith can say where the person is: 479-289-7470 or 479-424-5000 (call either), 30 South 6th Street, Room 243, Fort Smith, AR 72901. A federal prison term shifts them out of the local jail to a Bureau of Prisons facility. Use the online federal locator to find where they serve by name or register number.

• ICE finds out about the arrest by way of fingerprints deputies send. Then ICE might file a detainer.
• A posted bail doesn't clear an ICE hold.
• The cap is 48 hours; ICE's request only asks the sheriff to keep the door shut until officers arrive. A weekend day doesn't pause the count.
• ICE agents may take custody in person during the hold. Deadline passed? In that case the hold ends and staff must let them leave.
• St. Rose, Louisiana, is home to the ICE office over Arkansas, at 181 James Drive W, St. Rose, LA 70087 — call 504-318-2360 about the hold.
• The next stop depends on ICE.
• To learn where ICE took them, visit the ICE locator, then give the A-number from ICE paperwork and their birth country. Can't find the A-number? Enter date of birth, nation of birth and first and last name instead.

Prison sentences are served through the ADC. First, they remain in the local jail while the ADC sends for them. The transfer ends at intake, where new arrivals get processed. At intake, officers look at security risk, health and mental health care and gang links. Their next step is a unit that suits their needs.

To find them, use the ADC online search. For each unit, see Arkansas state prisons.

To ask for a mugshot not yet released, reporters should call the sheriff's office, 870-898-5115. For a photo snapped in ICE custody, the only route is an ICE records request, and a release isn't promised. Federal mugshots are not made public. The Marshals' policy keeps sharing to three situations: for someone who escaped, to help the search or alert the public or when it's required at once for community safety.
