Calhoun County Released Inmates Lookup

Calhoun County sits in south Arkansas and is the smallest county in the state by population. Hampton is the county seat. The Calhoun County Sheriff's Office runs the local jail and handles arrest and booking data. The office does not post a full online roster. That means most Calhoun County released inmates lookups start with a phone call. This page covers the sheriff, CourtConnect, state prison tools, and FOIA steps. You will find phones, office addresses, fee data, and useful state links so you can find a person or pull a record.

For state prison data, use the Arkansas Department of Corrections inmate search. If the person moved from county to state custody, ADC will have the record. For court filings, go to CourtConnect. For custody alerts, sign up at VINELink.
