The Yell County Jail - Danville is licensed to hold 82 inmates at a time, but it often has to make room for more, especially on weekends. At most city and county jails in Arkansas, at least 40% of the inmate population turns over each month, another 30% every 90 days, and another 20% every six months, while about 8-9% stay incarcerated between six and twelve months. Inmates held longer than a year are usually facing serious charges such as rape or murder. Because those cases take so long to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in Yell County on such charges remain in custody at one of the Yell County facilities much longer.
Every defendant in Arkansas has a constitutional right to bail before conviction, except those charged with capital offenses when the proof is evident or the presumption is great. Judges in Yell County can set bail for any other charge, or release the defendant on their own recognizance or with conditions.
Each year, approximately 2,600 offenders are arrested and detained by Yell County law enforcement agencies.
The Yell County Sheriff’s Office runs the county jail at 201 East 5th Street in Danville, AR 72833, next to the sheriff’s office. The jail holds up to about 82 men and women. Most are waiting on their court cases; others are serving county sentences or are state inmates waiting for transfer to the Arkansas Division of Correction. Call the jail at (479) 495-4880, or the sheriff’s office at (479) 495-4881. Yell County has two county seats, and the sheriff also keeps an office at 106 Union Street in Dardanelle, (479) 229-4175.

The sheriff’s website is yellcountysheriff.org. For court filings, search Search ARCourts at caseinfo.arcourts.gov/opad; Yell County is in the 15th Judicial Circuit.
A person brought to jail is booked and, under Arkansas Rule of Criminal Procedure 8.1, taken before a judge without unnecessary delay, generally within 48 hours. Article 2, Section 8 of the Arkansas Constitution says all persons are bailable before conviction except for capital offenses when the proof is evident or the presumption great. Rules 9.1 and 9.2 have judges consider release on recognizance or with conditions first, and set money bail only when no other conditions will reasonably ensure the person comes back. Arkansas Code §17-19-301 fixes a bondsman’s premium at 10% of the bond, rounded up to the nearest $5, paid in full before release, plus small nonrefundable state fees. If you might have a warrant, talk with an attorney or the sheriff’s office before turning yourself in.
