The placement of offenders in Arkansas happens across various correctional facilities depending on their health and safety needs, behavioral conduct, and the holding capacities at the locations. Then, do you have a friend or loved one behind bars in Arkansas? Here are three effective ways to locate them: - 

Arkansas Statewide Inmate Search 

The Arkansas statewide inmate search focuses on locating offenders in state-run correctional facilities or community supervision. More so, the Arkansas Department of Corrections oversees 20 state prisons in Arkansas. For this, the Department maintains a detailed offender search on its official website accessible to families and friends of the offenders. Then, go to https://apps.ark.org/inmate_info/index.php and download the complete inmate database to scrutinize it. Or, use the offender search as follows: - 

  1. Provide the offender's name or ADC number in the search query form 
  2. Narrow your search results by specifying the county, facility, gender, age, race, or offense category 
  3. Agree to the terms and conditions and proceed to search 
  4. The search will generate the following offender details: - 
  • Personal Details – Name, Aliases, Mug Shot, ADC Number, Race, Sex, Age, Hair Color, Eye Color, Height, Weight, Initial Receipt Date, Facility, Mailing Address, Custody Classification 
  • Prison Sentence History – Offense, Sentence Date, County, Case Number, Sentence Length, Detainers, Major Guilty Disciplinary Violations, Risk Score/Level, Court Orders, Program Achievements,  
  • Probation Details – Offense, Sentence Date, County, Case Number, Community Supervision Length, SIS, Probation 

Federal Inmate Search 

There are two federal prisons and a federal prison camp in Delaware. The South Central Regional Office runs the federal facilities, which accommodate up to 2,822 federal inmates. Then, if you are searching for someone convicted of a federal crime in Arkansas, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons offender lookup to locate the offender as follows: - 

  • Go to the Federal Bureau of Prisons official website 
  • Search by name or number 
  • If searching by name, click 'Find By Name' and provide the offender's name in the search query form. Narrow your search by providing the offender's race, sex, and age 
  • If searching by number, click 'Find By Number' and provide the offender's BOP, DCDC, FBI, or INS number in the search query form 
  • Click 'Search' to generate the offender's name, registration number, age, race, sex, and release date 

Jail Roster Search 

There are 75 jails operated by Police Departments and Sheriff's Offices in Arkansas. By 2019, these holding facilities had an inmate population of 9,460 offenders. The law enforcement agencies keep tabs on the inmate population by maintaining detailed jail rosters accessible to the public via their official websites or by appointment with the jail administrators. A typical jail roster will provide information on the personal description, arrest and booking details, criminal history, and current custody status of the offender. Still, the jail roster may exclude details of new detainees still undergoing the booking process. And it may include details of recently released inmates, depending on how fast the law enforcement agency updates the inmate listing.
