• ICE hears about most arrests from fingerprints staff send. ICE can then place a detainer with jail staff.
• With a detainer, ICE asks the Paris jail to put off release for up to 48 hours. It's two straight days, measured from release time.
• A posted bond doesn't clear the detainer.
• Within the hold, ICE often sends officers to collect them. If nobody comes, the jail must release them on the local case.
• Loved ones can follow the detainee on the web at the ICE detainee locator, which asks for the A-number plus birth country. No A-number handy? A name search takes the person's full name, the day they were born and country of birth.
• Their next facility is ICE's call.
• If deputies don't know, reach ICE's regional office at 504-318-2360; it is located at 181 James Drive W, St. Rose, LA 70087.

Prison sentences are carried out through the state prison system, the ADC. First, the person waits in the local jail while the ADC finds a bed. Reception is next — paperwork, photos and tests. There, officers look at security risk, gang links, and physical and mental health. The final move is a prison that matches their needs.

Families can search for an ADC inmate by name or number on the Division of Correction search. The Arkansas state prison guide covers visits and mail.

Yes. You can view Logan County mugshots by name in the Logan inmate roster. Not every Logan entry has a photo yet.

The sheriff's office, 479-963-3271, fields press requests for booking photos that aren't public. For a picture taken by immigration officers, people must use a FOIA request to ICE; the agency may say no. The public and the media can't see federal mugshots. Federal law enforcement holds mugshots back; the Marshals step in only for an escapee or fugitive, for urgent community safety or if posting it may help catch them or alert the public.
