Official St. Francis County Jail Roster
The official St. Francis County inmate roster begins at the sheriff's roster disclaimer page. From there, users can choose current inmates or the release list for people released within the prior 48 hours. The roster is free and no login or payment was observed. It is the right source for St. Francis County Detention Center custody, including pretrial detainees, local sentences, misdemeanor work-release custody, court returns, and some holds.
The roster is not a full criminal-history system. Sentenced Arkansas prisoners move to the Arkansas DOC inmate locator after state transfer. Sentenced federal prisoners at FCI Forrest City Low or FCI Forrest City Medium use the BOP inmate locator. Immigration custody uses the ICE Online Detainee Locator. If the wrong system is searched, a valid custody record can look missing.
Use the St. Francis County Roster
The public roster works best when the name spelling is known. The county search does not publish wildcard rules, minimum characters, or a refresh interval, so a broad last-name search is a practical first step. Date sorting helps when checking a new arrest. The View Profile link opens the full public jail record.
- Open the sheriff roster disclaimer page and choose current inmates for a person now in jail.
- Choose the 48-hour release list when checking a recent release.
- Enter the name in Search By Name, or use Show All and sort by date if the spelling is uncertain.
- Open View Profile for the booking number, photo, booking date, charges, arresting agency, and bond field.
- Call Detention Center staff at 870-633-2611 before relying on a bond amount, case number, or charge description.
St. Francis County Roster Controls
The observed controls are direct and narrow. The St. Francis County inmate records search is name based, with current and released filters plus date sorting. Pagination, Next, and Last links were observed on the roster. No booking-number search box, date-of-birth search box, or facility dropdown was documented on the county jail roster.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search By Name | Text | Unspecified | Name-search box; no wildcard rule was published. |
| Name | Filter/sort | No | Shown above the roster. |
| Date | Filter/sort | No | Useful for recent bookings. |
| Current | Filter | No | Shows current inmates. |
| Released | Filter | No | Shows releases within the prior 48 hours. |
| Newest to Oldest | Sort | No | Booking-time descending. |
| Show All | Action | No | Clears search and returns visible entries. |
St. Francis County Inmate Profile Fields
A roster card gives a fast view of the booking record, while the profile page adds the full public presentation. The St. Francis County profile notice is important: charges and bail amounts can change after court appearances, and anyone posting bail should call the jail for correct bail amount, charges, and case numbers.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Mugshot | One front-facing booking image was observed on roster cards and profiles. |
| Name | Full public name in the profile heading and roster card. |
| Booking Number | Jail booking identifier, with an observed format such as 24-0959. |
| Booking Date/Time | Date and time of intake into the county jail. |
| Demographics | Age, gender, and race; full DOB was not observed. |
| Charges | Plain-text booking charges, not final court dispositions. |
| Bond | Amount when applicable; bond type was not observed. |
| Arresting Agency | Agency responsible for arrest or booking, such as FCPD. |
St. Francis County Roster View
The official current roster screenshot from the sheriff's current inmate roster shows why the roster is the primary St. Francis County inmate records source for people held now.
The card layout connects the mugshot, booking number, age, booking date, charge text, bond field, and profile link in one place, but it still does not show final court status.
Current Inmates and Releases
Current means the person is still in St. Francis County jail custody. Released means the sheriff's 48-hour release view, not a broad archive. The release view is useful when a person has just bonded out, completed a short local sentence, transferred, or left county custody after a court event. After that window, a public-records request or court search may be needed.
For older St. Francis County inmate records, the sheriff FAQ is the local public-records anchor. It says jail booking records may be public under Arkansas FOIA, but no dedicated county FOIA form, fee schedule, or processing timeline was located. The practical local channels are the jail phone line and the sheriff administrative office.
Phone and Office Fallbacks
When the roster is down, stale, or unclear, call the St. Francis County Detention Center at 870-633-2611. The same number is the key local fallback for bond, charges, case numbers, current custody, and jail-record questions. For in-person administrative routing, the county government page lists the Sheriff's Office administration at 313 South Izard Ste. 10, Forrest City, AR 72336, with office hours Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

St. Francis County Booking Records
A St. Francis County booking can start with a sheriff arrest, Forrest City Police Department arrest, warrant service, court commitment, or another agency hold. The Detention Center creates the jail record during intake. Public booking artifacts can include the mugshot, booking number, age, gender, race, arresting agency, booking date, charges, and bond. The jail is one of 23 Arkansas AFIS sites, so fingerprint identification is part of the local booking infrastructure.
The booking system is also connected to V.I.N.E., which supports custody-status notification through VINELink. That does not replace the roster, but it gives victims and registered users a notification channel when eligible custody status changes occur.
St. Francis County Jail Visits
The official detention page gives a short visitation schedule. It says inmate video visitation is Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. No remote vendor, remote scheduling site, in-person visit schedule, ID rule, dress code, child-visitor rule, attorney visit policy, or public lobby instruction was located in the county material.
| Service | Schedule / Rule | Source Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Video visitation | Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. | Sheriff detention page |
| Remote visits | Not published | No vendor URL located |
| In-person visits | Not separately published | County page uses video visitation language |
| Visitor ID and dress code | Not published | Confirm with jail before travel |
Mail and Commissary Records
Inmate mail for the St. Francis County Detention Center is published as P.O. Box 1817, Forrest City, AR 72335. The official page does not publish a required envelope format, mail-scanning rule, book policy, legal-mail rule, or whether a booking number is required on mail. Confirm the person's custody status and mail format before sending anything.
Money can be put on inmates' books for commissary Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The county did not publish an online deposit vendor, kiosk rule, phone deposit line, fee table, or deposit limit. A sheriff press release adds that once housed, inmates are not allowed outside items, the jail provides hygiene products, and medication must go to the jail staffing nurse in a current original prescription bottle with the inmate's name.
State, Federal, and ICE Inmates
The Arkansas DOC locator is the main search channel when a St. Francis County defendant has been sentenced and transferred from the county jail to state custody. DOC search fields include ADC number, county, last name, first name, facility, gender, offense category, age, race, and a required disclaimer checkbox. DOC also offers a full inmate database download through Information Network of Arkansas with a $0.10 per record enhanced access fee.
Federal custody is different. FCI Forrest City Low and FCI Forrest City Medium are BOP facilities in St. Francis County, but they do not use the sheriff roster. BOP searches by register number or by first, middle, last name, race, age, and sex. If a person is in immigration custody, use the ICE locator. No official ICE detention facility was found in St. Francis County.
| System | Search Link | Use It For |
|---|---|---|
| County jail | Sheriff roster search | Current St. Francis County jail custody |
| Arkansas DOC | DOC inmate locator | Sentenced state custody |
| BOP | Federal inmate locator | Sentenced federal prisoners |
| ICE | ICE detainee locator | Immigration custody |
Sheriff App Inmate Feature
The sheriff site links to a mobile app. The Apple listing names St. Francis County Sheriffs AR, and the Google Play listing names St. Francis County AR Sheriff. Both advertise inmates, most wanted, sex offenders, alerts, FAQs, and tips or contact features. The store listings did not prove an app-only roster or extra app-only inmate fields, so the public website roster remains the confirmed online source for jail inmate records.
