Washington County Detention Center

To find out whether someone is being held at the Washington County Detention Center, what they are charged with, how much their bond is, when they can have visitors, or to view their mugshot, search the official jail inmate roster or call 479-444-5830. Criminal court records are searchable as well: find an offender’s Washington County Criminal Court Case or any other case in Arkansas.

Before assuming there’s no warrant for you or someone you know in Washington County or another city or town in Arkansas, search the state’s Criminal Court Case page. Check the docket entries for a bench warrant, a failure to appear, or active charges. If there is a warrant, contact your attorney. If you can’t afford one, an attorney will be assigned after you are arrested, booked, and processed.

Key facts about the Washington County Detention Center:

• It is licensed for 710 inmates but often has to make room for more, especially on weekends.
• Most city and county jails in Arkansas turn over at least 40% of their inmates monthly.
• Another 30% turn over every 90 days, and another 20% every six months.
• About 8-9% stay six to twelve months.
• Those held longer than a year usually face serious charges like rape or murder.

Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in Washington County remain in custody at one of the Washington County facilities much longer.

Anyone charged with a non-capital offense in Arkansas has a constitutional right to bail before trial, and bail can be denied for a capital offense only when the proof is evident or the presumption is great. In any bailable case, judges in Washington County can set bail, impose release conditions, or release a defendant on their own recognizance.

Washington County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 14,800 offenders every year.

How do you post bail in Washington County?

If someone is taken to Washington County Detention Center in Fayetteville for booking, the next steps depend on their case:

1. The individual may be released without bail, under a promise to appear at a court hearing.
2. They could be held in custody until their trial.
3. They may post a bail or bond for release. To find out the exact bail amount, call 479-444-5830.

Bail payments can be handled in various ways.

• Cash bonds are paid in full, normally at the jail's bonding window or with the clerk of court, by cash, cashier's check or money order, and card payments are often possible through a kiosk in the lobby or an online vendor for a convenience fee; have the inmate's full name and booking number ready, and reach the jail at 479-444-5830.
• Licensed bail bond agents in Washington County can facilitate payment.
• Property bonds are available in many courts: an owner may pledge land or a home after proving clear title and equity of at least the bond amount (often double) with the deed and a recent tax or appraisal figure, and the court that set bail decides whether to accept it.

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Washington County Detention Center?

There are FOUR options for putting money on an inmate's books:

Option 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail
Bring money to the jail in person. 
Either the jail personnel will process the Inmate Account payment or you will use a Jail ATM self-serve kiosk in the lobbies that accepts cash, debit or credit cards.

Option 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Washington County Detention Center uses Jail ATM to process all online deposits to an inmate's account. The company charges you a small fee for doing so, but the fee probably isn't as much as gas and parking would cost to take it to the jail in person.

Option 3 - Mail the Inmate Deposit to the Jail
Mailing a deposit takes more time to process than the other methods but can be done if you live too far away to bring it in person and you don't have a debit/credit card for online deposits. Never send cash. Always send a Money Order from the US Post Office, a reputable bank or Western Union. Call the Washington County Detention Center first as they may want you to do this online or at the jail kiosk instead.
Make the Money Order out to the payee the jail names (check with the jail first) and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order. Never mail cash or a personal check.
