St. Francis County Jail Roster: Inmate Search, Bookings & Mugshots
Need to check whether someone is being held at the St. Francis County Jail in Forrest City? The Sheriff’s Office maintains an online inmate roster showing current detainees, booking details, photographs and listed charges. You can search by name, browse recent bookings or check the separate 48-hour release list without paying a third-party website.
This guide explains how to use the roster, identify the correct booking record, check for mugshots, understand bond information and contact the detention center for visitation, commissary or release questions.
This is an independent public-information guide, not a government website. Custody and bond details should be verified with the Sheriff’s Office.
How to Search the St. Francis County Jail Roster
The official St. Francis County Sheriff’s Office inmate roster includes a name-search field, browsing options, booking information and links to individual profiles.
- Open the county’s inmate roster. Select the official roster link above. If a disclaimer appears, choose the current-inmates option.
- Search by name. Enter the person’s first name or last name in the “Search By Name” field.
- Browse all records if needed. Select “Show All” when you are uncertain of the spelling.
- Choose the correct view. Select “Current” for inmates presently listed in detention or “Released” when looking for release information.
- Sort bookings. Use the date or newest-to-oldest options to locate recent admissions.
- Open “View Profile.” Review the individual’s booking number, age, booking date, listed charges, bond and photograph if available.
- Confirm urgent details. Call 870-633-2611 before acting on a roster entry involving custody, bail or release.
Recent St. Francis County Jail Bookings and Arrest Records
St. Francis County’s public booking system shows recent jail admissions alongside inmates who have remained in custody for longer periods. The roster may include people arrested by local law enforcement, detainees held for another agency and individuals awaiting transfer.
How to check the latest bookings
- Open the official roster and choose the current-inmates view.
- Sort the records from newest to oldest using the available date controls.
- Review the booking date and time for the person you are looking for.
- Open the profile for additional publicly available details.
- Verify whether the person remains at the facility before visiting or posting bond.
The Sheriff’s Office reports that the detention center also holds certain Arkansas state prisoners awaiting bed space and federal detainees awaiting extradition. A person listed in the jail does not necessarily have a newly filed St. Francis County criminal case.
How to View St. Francis County Jail Mugshots
Unlike some counties that publish names only, the St. Francis County Sheriff’s Office has an inmate roster that displays booking photographs with many public records. Its own public notice confirms that the roster supports access to photographs and booking information.
- Visit the official inmate roster.
- Find the individual through the search box or roster list.
- Check the image shown alongside the listed booking information.
- Select “View Profile” to review the individual record.
- If a photo is missing or unclear, contact the Sheriff’s Office about whether an official copy can be requested.
Booking images are identification records, not proof of guilt. Photograph availability may vary because of system changes, record restrictions or applicable disclosure rules. Juvenile and protected records may not be available through the adult public portal.
St. Francis County 48-Hour Release Search
The Sheriff provides a separate 48 Hour Release option showing people released from the detention center within approximately the previous 48 hours.
Check recent releases
- Open the Sheriff’s Office inmate roster disclaimer page.
- Select the “48 Hour Release” option.
- Review recently released inmate records or use the released filter.
- Look for the release date and time, where displayed.
- Call the jail if you need confirmation of a transfer, bond-related release or present custody status.
The release list is a short-term lookup, not a full history of every previous booking. A person released more than 48 hours ago may no longer appear in that special view.
Release from the county jail also does not necessarily mean release from all law-enforcement custody. Some individuals may be transferred to a different agency or correctional facility.
What Information Appears in St. Francis County Inmate Records?
The county’s roster publicly displays multiple fields that can help distinguish people with similar names. Check the specific profile because some entries omit fields such as bond.
| Information | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Inmate name | The name associated with the detention booking record. |
| Booking number | An identifier for a particular jail booking. |
| Age | The person’s reported age in the public booking record. |
| Booking date | The date and time entered in the detention system. |
| Charges | Alleged offenses or custody reasons recorded by authorities. |
| Bond | A publicly listed bond amount, if applicable and available. |
| Booking photo | An available photograph used for inmate identification. |
| Release date | Departure information in released-inmate records, when displayed. |
A “hold for other agency” entry generally indicates a custody request involving another authority. A “bench warrant” refers to a court-issued warrant, often connected to court-process requirements. Neither phrase alone establishes a conviction.
What If Someone Is Not on the St. Francis County Jail Roster?
If you cannot find someone in the current-inmates list, they may have been released, transferred, booked under another spelling, held at another facility or not yet reflected in the public roster.
- Search again. Try a surname only and check both current and released roster options.
- Check recent releases. Use the Sheriff’s Office 48-hour release list.
- Contact the detention center. Call 870-633-2611 for custody questions.
- Use Arkansas VINE. Visit Arkansas VINE for participating agency custody information and notifications.
- Search state correctional records. Use the Arkansas Division of Correction inmate search if the person may have moved into state custody.
- Check court records. Search Search ARCourts for related public case information.
St. Francis County Jail Bail, Bond and Criminal Charges
Some public inmate profiles show bond amounts. However, a listed figure may not include every charge, warrant, hold or court restriction affecting an individual’s release.
How to verify bond information
- Find the correct person in the official inmate roster.
- Record the booking number and any displayed bond information.
- Contact the detention center at 870-633-2611.
- Ask whether bond has been authorized and which court controls it.
- Confirm the full amount, approved payment methods and location before paying.
- Ask whether any other legal hold could prevent release.
- Keep transaction receipts and follow the court’s instructions.
Bond conditions are determined through the legal process and may be changed by court order. The Sheriff’s Office should be contacted to verify current jail procedures, and the responsible court should be contacted for authoritative case-specific decisions.
The county has not published a sufficiently detailed, verified online bond-payment schedule in the sources reviewed here to establish a universal fee or payment method. Do not send money to an individual claiming to arrange a jail release without independently confirming the request.
St. Francis County Jail Visitation Hours and Rules
The Sheriff’s Office publishes video visitation Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Specific availability may depend on inmate eligibility, facility operations and any scheduling procedures.
| Day | Published video visitation window |
|---|---|
| Monday | 8:00 AM–4:00 PM |
| Tuesday | 8:00 AM–4:00 PM |
| Wednesday | 8:00 AM–4:00 PM |
| Thursday | 8:00 AM–4:00 PM |
| Friday | 8:00 AM–4:00 PM |
| Saturday | No regular video visitation window published |
| Sunday | No regular video visitation window published |
Before arranging a visit
- Verify that the person is still housed at St. Francis County Detention Center.
- Call the jail to confirm whether video visits require advance scheduling.
- Ask about acceptable identification, visitor eligibility and age restrictions.
- Confirm whether visitation takes place at the facility or through an approved remote service.
- Ask about visit duration, any charges and cancellation rules.
Do not assume the published hours mean any visitor can enter without approval. The Sheriff’s Office should confirm the current process before you travel.
Inmate Commissary, Deposits and Phone Calls
The Sheriff’s Office confirms that its detention center accepts inmate-account money arrangements for commissary purchases. The jail is open seven days a week, but its published video visitation and account-funding service hours are Monday through Friday, 8 AM–4 PM.
How to add money to an inmate’s account
- Check the official roster for the correct booked name.
- Call the detention center and ask for current approved deposit methods.
- Confirm whether payment must be made on-site or through a designated provider.
- Verify transaction fees and any deposit limits.
- Retain the receipt and confirmation information.
A particular online commissary or payment provider was not independently confirmed in the current Sheriff’s Office instructions reviewed for this article. Avoid using an unrelated Arkansas prison payment website for someone who is still in the county jail.
Calling an inmate
Inmate telephone access, approved calling methods, account setup and any call charges should be confirmed directly with the detention facility. County jail calling arrangements can differ from the Arkansas Division of Correction’s prison services.
How to Send Mail to a St. Francis County Jail Inmate
The Sheriff’s Office publishes a separate inmate mailing address. Use the individual’s full booked name and confirm current mail restrictions before sending letters, books or other materials.
Inmate: [Full Booked Name]
P.O. Box 1817
Forrest City, AR 72335
Before mailing an item
- Check the person’s custody status and exact booked name.
- Use a complete return address.
- Ask whether correspondence is handled by the jail directly or by an outside mail-processing service.
- Confirm which envelopes, photographs, books and publications are accepted.
- Do not send cash, medications, electronics or other potentially restricted items without explicit authorization.
Legal mail may have different handling rules from ordinary correspondence. Contact detention staff when sending privileged correspondence or important legal documents.
St. Francis County Detention Center Address, Phone and Directions
Forrest City, Arkansas 870-633-2611
Forrest City, AR 72336 870-261-1795
The detention center and the Sheriff’s administrative office have different physical addresses. Use 2124 South Washington for travel to the detention facility and the published P.O. Box for inmate correspondence.
Search St. Francis County Court Records and Older Criminal Cases
Once a jail booking leads to a court proceeding, the detention roster may no longer be the best source for legal case status. Arkansas Judiciary operates Search ARCourts, which provides public case information from participating courts.
- Open Search ARCourts.
- Select a case search or participant search.
- Enter the person’s name or the available case number.
- Use county and court filters where appropriate to narrow results to St. Francis County.
- Examine available charges, hearings, docket entries, dispositions and judgments.
- Contact the court clerk for certified copies or records not available through the public portal.
Search ARCourts provides public records for courts participating in the Contexte case-management system. Some courts and record types have limited online detail. Confidential or sealed materials are not generally displayed.
An older arrest record, current jail detention record and final criminal judgment serve different purposes. A charge appearing on a jail roster should not be represented as a conviction.
