Jacksonville Released Inmates Facts
Where to Find Jacksonville Released Inmates
Jacksonville sits in northern Pulaski County. Any arrest inside the city limits by a local officer ends up at the Pulaski County jail. The county sheriff books the person, holds them, and releases them. The county jail roster is the single best place to start for Jacksonville released inmates searches.
For state prison history, run the name on the Arkansas Department of Corrections site. If the person was sentenced in Pulaski County and moved to state custody, ADC holds the record. For release alerts, register at VINELink. The service is free and sends an alert on release, transfer, or escape.
Court records for Jacksonville cases live with the Pulaski County Circuit and County Clerk. The online search is Arkansas Judiciary CourtConnect. Records there cover both the district court where most misdemeanor cases start and the circuit court for felonies.
Jacksonville Police Department
The Jacksonville Police Department handles arrests inside the city limits. Officers book arrestees into the Pulaski County jail on West Roosevelt Road. The department keeps its own incident and arrest reports. Records requests go through the police records division under the Arkansas FOIA.
The city runs an Office of Professional Standards for internal affairs and background requests. Email OPS@cityofjacksonville.net for background questions. A local background check needs a request form, valid ID, and a $10.00 fee. The search covers local records only. It does not replace a state or federal check. Processing runs three to five business days.
Accident report purchases run through Police Reports U.S. at 800-489-0190 or online at policereports.lexisnexis.com. Give the report number, or a last name plus date, or a last name plus location. Other city contacts include the city attorney at acone@cityofjacksonville.net and the public information officer at akiser@cityofjacksonville.net.
Pulaski County Jail Roster for Jacksonville
The Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility sits at 3201 West Roosevelt Road, Little Rock, AR 72204. Phone (501) 340-7001. The facility is the largest county jail in Arkansas. It houses more than 1,200 detainees daily. Jacksonville bookings feed straight into this system.
The Pulaski County Zuercher Portal is the live roster. Search by name, race, sex, or arrest date. Each record shows mugshot, name, age, race, sex, arrest date, holding agency, charge, and bond. The 48 hour release list is a separate view. Pull that up first if the person has just been let out.
The portal is mobile friendly. A name search takes about a minute. Export and print options are limited, so save a screen capture if you need to keep the record for later.
Data updates in real time. Common reasons a name drops from the roster include:
- Posted bond and walked out
- Cited and released at the scene
- Transferred to state prison under ADC custody
- Moved to a federal holding facility
- Held under a temporary mental health hold that is sealed
Jacksonville District Court
Misdemeanor cases from a Jacksonville arrest land at the Jacksonville District Court first. Felony cases move to Pulaski County Circuit Court downtown. CourtConnect at caseinfo.arcourts.gov covers both. Search by name, case ID, or attorney. Records before 2009 have some fields redacted under Arkansas Supreme Court Administrative Order 19.
Hearings for traffic, city code, and misdemeanor charges run at the district court in Jacksonville. Bond forfeiture orders, fines, and plea deals post to CourtConnect after the judge signs off. Felony pleas also post to the circuit court docket.
Criminal Background Checks for Jacksonville
The Arkansas State Police CBC system is the main consent based path. State name checks cost $22.00, or $11.00 for volunteers. Fingerprint checks through the FBI run $13.00, or $11.00 for volunteers. The state police need signed written consent from the subject and an account with the Information Network of Arkansas.
The ARCH system is the public path with no consent. Each search costs $24.00, card only. ARCH pulls from the Arkansas Crime Information Center database, which ties arrests to fingerprints. For the full breakdown, check the state police FAQ.
VINELink Release Alerts
VINELink at vinelink.com is the free alert service. Register by phone, email, or text. Pick the inmate. Get a push when that person is released, transferred, or escapes. The Arkansas feed pulls from county jails and the state DOC, so Pulaski County data flows in near real time. Jacksonville family members, victims, and witnesses all use it. The toll free line is 1-800-510-0415 for help with the account.
Note: VINELink is anonymous and free. The inmate is not told that someone has signed up for alerts on their record.
FOIA for Jacksonville Records
The Arkansas FOIA at Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-101 et seq. covers arrest records, booking photos, jail rosters, and most police reports. Agencies have three business days to respond. No reason is needed. The requester's motive is not the agency's business.
For Jacksonville, the path is a short written request to the department that holds the record. The Jacksonville Police records division handles its own requests. The Pulaski County Sheriff's records division at (501) 340-6600 handles county jail records. The Pulaski County Circuit Clerk at 401 West Markham handles court files. Copies run about $0.25 per page. Certified copies run about $5.00 each. The Arkansas Attorney General FOIA Handbook walks through the process.
Parole and Community Correction
People on parole or probation in Jacksonville report to a supervising officer under the Arkansas Department of Community Correction. Call (501) 682-9510 for location info. The DCC posts some data online under Ark. Code Ann. § 12-27-145, including the parolee's name, aliases, latest photo, and completed programs.
Low income defendants can turn to the Center for Arkansas Legal Services or Legal Aid of Arkansas for civil and family help. The State Bar runs a lawyer referral service for paid counsel. For help finding the right resource, the Arkansas Administrative Office of the Courts at (501) 410-1900 can point the way.
Jacksonville Released Inmates Next Steps
Start at the Pulaski County roster for the most recent booking data. Check the 48 hour release list if the person is already out. Jump to the ADC site for state prison history. Use VINELink for live custody alerts. For court history, hit CourtConnect. For deeper criminal history, pick ARCH for public access or the ASP CBC for a consent based check.
If you hit a dead end online, call the Pulaski County Sheriff's records division at (501) 340-6600 or the Jacksonville Police records line. Both run standard Arkansas FOIA workflows. Written requests tend to move faster than walk ins for older records.
Federal cases tied to the Eastern District of Arkansas in Little Rock run through the U.S. Marshals and end up in federal custody. Federal data shows up on the Bureau of Prisons inmate locator, not in CourtConnect or the sheriff's portal. If the arrest was by the FBI, DEA, ATF, or a U.S. Marshal, the federal side is the right place to look for Jacksonville cases.
Walk ins at the Pulaski County Sheriff's records division work Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Bring a photo ID and the inmate's full legal name. Staff can pull an arrest report, a booking photo, or a release record while you wait.
