Licensed for 1530 inmates, the Pulaski County Detention Facility 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 Pulaski County remain in custody at one of the Pulaski 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 Pulaski 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 31,560 offenders are arrested and detained by Pulaski County law enforcement agencies.

About the Pulaski County Detention Facility

The Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility at 3201 West Roosevelt Road in Little Rock, AR 72204 is the largest county jail in Arkansas. Opened in 1994 and operated by the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office, it uses direct supervision, with deputies working inside the housing units. It holds more than 1,200 men and women on a typical day and is the only long-term detention facility in Pulaski County. It books arrests from twelve law enforcement agencies and holds people for thirty-three state and local courts. Most are pretrial. Others are serving county sentences or waiting for transfer to the Arkansas Division of Correction. The facility offers GED classes, chaplain services, round-the-clock nursing and mental health care, and the CSI Academy re-entry program. The main detention number is (501) 340-7001; press 1 for visitation and 3 for intake.

The sheriff’s office posts its inmate roster at correctionsrecordssearch.com/arpulaskicounty. After intake, the person goes before a judge without unnecessary delay, generally within 48 hours (Arkansas Rule of Criminal Procedure 8.1). Felony cases are heard in the Sixth Judicial Circuit, which covers Pulaski and Perry counties. Misdemeanors go to district court. Look up charges and hearing dates on Search ARCourts at caseinfo.arcourts.gov/opad. For warrant questions, call Records/Warrants at (501) 340-6625. It is wise to talk to that office or an attorney before turning yourself in.

Arkansas law starts from the right to bail. Article 2, §8 of the state constitution says everyone is bailable before conviction except for capital offenses when the proof is evident or the presumption great. Under Rules 9.1–9.2, judges look first at release on recognizance or with conditions and set money bail only when nothing else will reasonably ensure the person comes back to court. Many families use a licensed bail bond agent. Under Arkansas Code §17-19-301, the premium is 10% of the bond, rounded up to the nearest $5 and paid in full before release, plus small nonrefundable state fees.

Visits are scheduled in advance through JailATM; create an account at deposits.jailatm.com or call (501) 340-7001, option 1. In-person visits must be booked at least 24 hours ahead. Visits run between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m., starting on the hour, with one 30-minute visit per week and no more than three visitors at a time. Days depend on the person’s last name: A–M on Monday or Saturday and N–Z on Tuesday or Sunday, while Units A, B and W visit Wednesday or Thursday. Everyone must show photo ID except children under 18, who must come with an adult. Arrive on time; a visitor more than 10 minutes late forfeits the visit until the following week. Visits are canceled on county holidays and during bad weather or emergencies.

Mail is not sent to the Roosevelt Road building. Address it to Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility, the inmate’s ID and name, 500 Amity Road, Ste. 5B, PMB53, Conway, AR 72032. Do not send magazines, newspapers, or books from stores like Amazon. A softbound Bible is allowed if the package is marked “Bible.” Money orders can be dropped off weekdays from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and the lobby kiosk takes cash or cards. Commissary orders go through Access Catalog. Phone money goes through CSG Pay PIN debit accounts at csgpay.com.

Rock Region METRO runs buses throughout Little Rock, and its trip planner shows the current route and nearest stop for West Roosevelt Road. Sunoco is right nearby at 3100 W Roosevelt Rd, and ALON is at 4511 W 12th St. For food, Wendy’s is at 3923 S University Ave and Long John Silver’s is at 4101 S University Ave.

Recent Bookings & Arrests

Understanding the booking process at Pulaski County Detention Facility

After an arrest, individuals are taken to Pulaski County Detention Facility 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.

  • 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 501-340-7001.
