Miller County Juvenile Detention Center

Due to funding and finance reasons, the Miller County Juvenile Detention Center has been closed to all juvenile offenders. The building was in operation for over 30 years before closing its doors in 2022. The facility and all programs were a joint venture from Miller County and the city of Texarkana, allowing them to house their juvenile offenders in this facility and sharing the financial and operational burden between the county and the city. Currently, youth offenders from either the city or from the surrounding Miller County are both transferred to the Pine Bluff facility, Jack Jones Justice Center. This justice center houses both the juvenile court and the detention facility, limiting the need for transportation and ensuring the safety and security of both the juveniles and the staff, as well as the surrounding community. While detained in that location they will have full access to all programs that are in place there, as well as the privileges that come from positive behavior and good choices. Mail: Jack Jones Juvenile Justice Center, 301 East Second Avenue, Pine Bluff AR 71601 Youth may receive and send mail while they are serving a sentence at this location, however those with short stays may not receive all mail that is sent due to the time they are present. Phones: Phones and phone calls to family are available for all of the juvenile offenders who are housed here, and they may lose or earn phone time through behavior and other choices. Visitation: Visits are permitted for attorneys and other professionals who are involved in the care of the youth, as well as the parents and guardians of the youth. These visits must be planned in advance and will occur only during the times that the detainee is available.

Licensed for 25 inmates, the Miller County Juvenile Detention Center often has to make room for many more offenders, especially on weekends. A typical city or county jail turns over at least 40% of its population every month, another 30% every 90 days, and another 20% every six months, with approximately 8-9% staying between six and twelve months. Inmates who stay longer than a year are usually facing serious charges like rape or murder. Because it takes longer to prepare those cases for trial, offenders arrested in Miller County remain in custody at one of the Miller County facilities much longer.

Arkansas’s constitution protects the right to bail before trial for every charge except capital offenses where the proof is evident or the presumption is great. Judges in Miller County weigh factors like the seriousness of the charge and the person’s ties to the community when deciding whether to set bail or release someone on their own recognizance.

Every year, approximately 6,500 offenders are arrested and detained by Miller County law enforcement agencies.
