Visitation:

Visiting hours are subject to change or cancellation without prior notice.
Current facility visiting hours are listed below.

Please realize that we have several inmates with family members that all want to visit. Visitation is limited to one, fifteen-minute visit. Do not attempt return visits.

Inmates may have visits from family and friends each Saturday while incarcerated, except when an inmate is restricted.

No cell phones are to be brought into the Detention Center.  It is the responsibility of the inmate to abide by the rules and to inform their visitors of these rules.  All persons entering the facility are subject to a search of their persons and property. Any person found violating any law may be arrested and prosecuted.

The Jail Administrator, her designee, or Deputy may cancel any visit or delete from the visitation list any visitor who violates a jail rule or anyone who, in jail personnel judgment, poses a threat to the security of the jail, personnel or inmates.  Any and all visitor(s) may be requested to show a valid photo identification, such as an Arkansas drivers licenses.  Record checks may be made if it is considered necessary for the security of the inmates, employees, visitors, or the facility.  Children under the age of 18 will be permitted to visit only if an adult accompanies them. No unattended children will be allowed in the waiting area. Disruptive, ill-mannered or misbehaving children will not be tolerated. The accompanying adult is responsible for the behavior of the children. While conducting visitation no smoking, eating or drinking is allowed inside the facility.
