We’ve put together Frequently Asked Questions and Answers on finding an inmate in the Pike County Jail, how jail rosters work, and what happens after booking.
If your question isn’t answered there, call the Pike County Jail at 870-285-3413.
The Pike County Jail is licensed for 80 inmates, but on weekends especially, the jail often has to make room for many more offenders. Most city and county jails in Arkansas turn over at least 40% of their population monthly, another 30% every 90 days, and another 20% every six months, with about 8-9% staying between six and twelve months. Those who remain longer than a year are generally facing serious charges like rape or murder. Because it takes time to prepare those cases for trial, offenders arrested in Pike County must stay in custody at one of the Pike County facilities much longer.
Arkansas’s constitution allows bail to be denied only for capital offenses when the proof is evident or the presumption is great. Everyone else charged with a crime is eligible for bail, and judges in Pike County can also release defendants on their own recognizance or with conditions.
Pike County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 1,600 offenders every year.
The Pike County Jail shares its address with the Pike County Sheriff’s Office: 305 Industrial Park Drive in Murfreesboro, AR 71958. Sheriff Travis Hill’s office runs the jail, which has room for about 78 men and women. Most people inside are waiting on their cases in court; others are serving short county sentences or waiting for transfer to the Arkansas Division of Correction after a state sentence. The jail line is (870) 285-3413, and the sheriff’s office line is (870) 285-3315.
To see who is in custody, use the sheriff’s inmate search at pikecso.com/inmateSearch. If a name doesn’t show up yet, booking may still be underway, so give it a little time or call the jail. Under Arkansas Rule of Criminal Procedure 8.1, a person who is arrested goes before a judge without unnecessary delay, generally within 48 hours. Pike County felony cases are heard in the Ninth West Judicial Circuit, which also covers Howard, Little River and Sevier counties. You can follow a case on Search ARCourts at caseinfo.arcourts.gov/opad.
The Arkansas Constitution (Article 2, §8) makes everyone bailable before conviction except in capital cases where the proof is evident or the presumption great. Under Rules 9.1–9.2, the judge first looks at release on the person’s own recognizance or with conditions, and sets money bail only when nothing else will reasonably make sure the person returns to court. A licensed bail bond agent charges a premium of 10% of the bond, rounded up to the nearest $5 and paid in full before release (Arkansas Code §17-19-301), plus small nonrefundable state fees. Call the jail to ask about a bond amount and how it can be paid. If you think there is a warrant for you or a loved one, talk to the sheriff’s office or an attorney before going in.
Visits are by appointment on Thursdays and Sundays; call (870) 285-3414 to schedule. Bring a government-issued photo ID and dress modestly. City Tele Coin handles video visits: there is a free kiosk at the sheriff’s office, and you can register at citytelecoin.com to visit from home. The same company runs inmate phones and rental tablets.
Address letters with the person’s full name and ID number to Pike County Jail, PO Box 177, Murfreesboro, AR 71958.

Understanding the booking process at Pike County Jail
After an arrest, individuals are taken to Pike County Jail where they go through booking. This process includes identifying the person, reviewing charges, and determining whether they will be released on their own, eligible for bail, or detained until their court date.
It’s crucial to remain silent after being arrested. Anything said may be used in court, so it’s better to refrain from speaking until consulting with an attorney.
The following steps outline the booking procedure at Pike County Jail:
- Personal identification verification.
- Taking photographs (mugshots).
- Medical and mental health assessment, as well as inquiries about substance use.
- Possibly collecting DNA samples.
- Performing a full-body search.
- Seizing personal belongings for safekeeping.
- Allowing one phone call.
Booking can take from a short hour to longer periods, especially on busy nights or with uncooperative individuals. For inquiries about posting bond for an arrestee, call the facility at 870-285-3413.
Paying bail for someone in custody in Pike County
Once someone is booked at Pike County Jail in Murfreesboro after an arrest, there are several outcomes:
1. They may be released without paying bail, agreeing to show up on a scheduled date.
2. They may remain in custody until their court appearance.
3. They can pay a bail or bond for release. Call 870-285-3413 for bail details.
Bail payments can take several forms.
- The full cash bond is paid at the jail's bonding window or at the clerk of court using cash, a cashier's check or a money order, while many jails add a card option at a lobby kiosk or through an online bond service for a fee; bring the inmate's full name and booking number, and call the jail at 870-285-3413 with questions.
- A licensed bail bond agent in Pike County can help cover bail.
- Many courts take real estate as security for a bond; the property owner must show clear title plus equity at least equal to the bond, often twice it, backed by a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value, and the court that set the bail gives final approval.
