Everyone is bailable before conviction in Arkansas except for capital offenses when the proof is evident or the presumption great (Ark. Const. art. 2, §8). Judges weigh release on recognizance or with conditions first and use money bail only when nothing less will reasonably ensure a return to court (Rules 9.1–9.2). A bondsman charges 10% of the bond, rounded up to the nearest $5 and paid in full before release, plus small nonrefundable state fees (Ark. Code §17-19-301). Call the jail for the bond amount and how to pay it.

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Randolph County Jail?

Choice 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail
Bring money to the jail in person.

Make the Money Order out to the inmate's name and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order.
Call Randolph County Jail at 870-892-8888 to confirm the address to send the money order to and how they want it made out.
