Jonesboro AR Jail Roster: Find Current Inmates, New Bookings and Mugshots
Someone arrested in Jonesboro, Arkansas, may appear in the Craighead County Sheriff’s Office jail roster. The county’s online register is the main public resource for identifying adults held at the Craighead County Detention Center, checking recent jail admissions and reviewing available booking photographs.
The important distinction is between a police arrest and jail custody. Jonesboro Police Department officers may make an arrest, but the public inmate roster is maintained through the Craighead County Sheriff’s Office. A police incident report does not necessarily tell you whether the person is still in jail.
All three links lead to the roster system linked by the Craighead County Sheriff’s Office. Custody information changes throughout the day.
Jonesboro Jail Address, Phone Number and Quick Facts
Jonesboro, AR 72401
The detention center is operated by the Craighead County Sheriff’s Office. It handles inmates from Jonesboro and other areas within the county and may hold individuals arrested by different law enforcement agencies.
How to Search the Jonesboro Jail Roster by Name
The public roster provides a name-selection control, sorting options and adjustable page sizes. This makes it possible to locate a person without reading every inmate record.
- Open the official roster. Visit Craighead County Current Inmates.
- Choose the correct view. Select Current Inmates for active custody, New Inmates for recent admissions, or Recent Releases for departures.
- Use the name control. Select the person’s name from the available list, when provided.
- Adjust the display. Change the sort order or page size to browse more names.
- Compare identifying details. Check the full name, age, booking information and arresting agency.
- Review the record. Look for charges, bond information and any displayed photograph.
- Verify urgent information. Contact the booking department if a recent arrest or planned release needs confirmation.
Current Inmates, Recent Bookings and Releases
The Sheriff’s Office provides three roster views. They answer different questions, so choosing the right one is useful when you have only limited information about an arrest.
| Roster | Information | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Current Inmates | People listed as currently held in county custody. | Checking whether someone is presently in jail. |
| New Inmates | People booked within the preceding 48 hours. | Reviewing overnight arrests and recent jail admissions. |
| Recent Releases | People released during the preceding 48 hours. | Checking recent jail departures. |
The New Inmates view may include individuals who have already been released. Likewise, a person appearing under Recent Releases may have been transferred or entered another jurisdiction’s custody. Always check the relevant dates and current status.
What Details Appear on the Jonesboro Inmate Roster?

| Age | Age displayed for the inmate. |
| Arrest Date | The recorded date and time of the arrest. |
| Arresting Agency | Department responsible for the reported arrest. |
| Charges | Offenses or custody reasons entered in the record. |
| Bond | Displayed bail or bond information when available. |

Jonesboro Arkansas Mugshot Search
Craighead County’s public roster contains booking photographs for many adult inmate listings. These images can assist with identifying a particular person, especially where multiple records show similar names.
How to Find a Booking Photo
- Open the Sheriff’s Office Inmate Roster page.
- Follow its link to the public inmate register.
- Choose Current Inmates or New Inmates.
- Find the person’s full name using the listing controls.
- Review the photograph displayed with the custody record, if available.
- Compare identifying information before relying on a match.
Booking photographs may not be shown for every individual. Juvenile records and certain other information may be subject to legal restrictions. An image appearing in the roster does not establish guilt.
How to Check a Recent Jonesboro Arrest
If a person was arrested by the Jonesboro Police Department, start with the New Inmates list. This view is especially useful during the first 48 hours after an arrest.
Check the arresting agency field, because the roster also includes people arrested by the Craighead County Sheriff’s Office, Arkansas State Police and other agencies.
If the person is not listed, call the Booking Department at 870-933-7719. An arrest may not yet have resulted in a county-jail booking, or the individual may have been released or transferred.
Posting Bail or Bond at Craighead County Detention Center
The Sheriff’s Office publishes several accepted bond-payment methods. Before paying, verify the amount and any additional holds directly with the jail or the appropriate court.
Official Bond Payment Options
- Online: Use the Craighead County bond payment portal.
- Lobby kiosk: The Sheriff’s Office states that its bond kiosk accepts $100, $20, $10 and $5 denominations and does not give change.
- Debit or credit card: The jail lists a payment terminal with a 7% service fee.
- Money orders or cashier’s checks: The Sheriff’s Office says these should be made payable to Craighead County.
Personal checks are not accepted under the county’s published instructions. A bond appearing on the roster does not necessarily mean the inmate is eligible for immediate release; other holds or court requirements may apply.
Jonesboro Jail Visitation: Online Video Visits
The Craighead County Sheriff’s Office states that the detention center no longer offers ordinary in-person public visitation. Instead, visits are scheduled online through JailATM.
How to Schedule a Visit

- Locate the Craighead County facility through the service.
- Choose the inmate and an available visit time.
- Review the applicable rules, fees and technical requirements.
- Complete your appointment using the authorized system.
The Sheriff’s Office currently publishes a video-visit charge of $0.35 per minute, or $10.50 for 30 minutes, and inmate messaging at $0.50 per message. Check the provider’s current charges before payment because fees may change.
How to Call or Message an Inmate
Craighead County identifies collect calling as the inmate telephone arrangement. The Sheriff’s Office provides 1-877-618-3516 for inmate telephone-service questions.
For electronic messages, the county identifies JailATM. Verify the recipient and the fees associated with your account before sending messages or purchasing communication services.
Sending Money and Commissary Deposits
Craighead County Detention Center uses Tiger Correctional Services for inmate meal and commissary services. Commissary purchases may include approved personal hygiene items and snacks.
The county states that inmates can place commissary orders on Mondays and Thursdays, with delivery generally occurring on Tuesdays and Fridays.
How to Deposit Commissary Funds
- Confirm the inmate’s identity and current custody status.
- Visit the county-linked Tiger Commissary service.
- Follow the service’s inmate-identification and payment instructions.
- Review fees and deposit limits before paying.
- Keep the transaction receipt.
The Sheriff’s Office also has a commissary kiosk in its lobby. Pay attention to the kiosk labels, as different machines handle different transactions and the county warns that the machines do not provide refunds.
Mailing Letters to a Craighead County Inmate
The Sheriff’s Office publishes the following correspondence address and format for inmates:
JailATM.com – Craighead County Detention CenterResident Full Name
PO Box 16367
Jonesboro, AR 72401
Use the inmate’s full name as recorded in the detention center system. Include your complete name in the return address.
According to the county’s published instructions, packages are not accepted and only letters may be sent. Contact the jail before sending photographs, books, money or other items, since standard correspondence rules do not establish permission to send additional materials.
Releasing an Inmate’s Personal Property
Craighead County provides a specific procedure for releasing small personal property to an approved individual.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, property release is handled Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The inmate must authorize the release, and the person collecting the property must present identification.
Contact the facility before traveling to ensure the property is eligible for release and the required authorization has been completed.
