Booking and Bonding at the Jackson County Jail

The jail at 3300 Theater Dr in Newport runs a 24/7 intake. After an arrest, deputies process the person through prints, a photo, a medical screen, and a charge sheet. Because the Newport campus of the ADC (the McPherson Unit for women and the Grimes Unit for men) is in the same town, Jackson County also handles some court-related transport to and from those state prisons.

Bond options include cash at the jail, surety through a licensed bail bond agent, and 10% bonds paid to the Circuit Clerk when a judge allows. The Third Judicial Circuit sets felony bonds at a first appearance. The Newport District Court sets misdemeanor bonds.

Since the jail holds 43 beds, inmates sometimes move to neighboring county jails during overflow. A family search for a Jackson County Released Inmate may need to check the rosters of nearby counties when the Newport jail is full. The sheriff can confirm the holding location by phone.
