Find Released Inmates in Nevada County

Nevada County sits in southwest Arkansas with Prescott as the county seat. Sheriff Danny Martin runs the sheriff's office and the county jail. No live online roster is published, so a phone call to 870-887-2616 is the fastest path for custody data. For state prison records of Nevada County released inmates, use the Arkansas Department of Corrections tool. Court filings go through the circuit clerk. This page lays out the offices, the right numbers to dial, and the state systems that fill gaps when the county page is empty.

Where to Find Nevada County Released Inmates

The Nevada County Sheriff's Office in Prescott is the first stop for local custody data. The office is at 209 East 3rd Street South, Prescott, AR 71857. Main line is 870-887-2616. Fax is 870-887-5131. Sheriff Danny Martin also serves as the county tax collector, which is a common setup in small Arkansas counties. For tax questions call 870-887-3511. For inmate questions, stick with the main sheriff line.

The county jail is in Prescott. No public online roster is posted, so a phone call is the only way to check a current booking. The sheriff's staff will answer name checks during office hours. For a quick read on who is released, who is still held, and who has moved to state prison, call the main line. For 24-hour custody alerts, sign up with VINELink.

State tools fill in the gaps. The Arkansas Department of Corrections inmate search is the right tool for anyone who moved from the Nevada County Jail into state prison. Court filings and final case data sit with the circuit clerk at the courthouse.

Nevada County Jail in Prescott

The Nevada County Jail holds men and women for the sheriff's office. The jail sits in Prescott at the county complex. Arrests by deputies and by Prescott city police end up at the same jail for booking. Booking covers mugshots, prints, a medical screen, and a security class. People held include pretrial defendants, short-sentence county inmates, and state holds.

The sheriff's office does not run a public online portal. That means a name check requires a call or a walk-in. Staff can give you the basic custody status, the charge, and the bond amount. Release dates for people who have already left can take a follow-up call to the records staff. The jail phone is the same as the main sheriff line: 870-887-2616.

For state custody data, the ADC inmate tool takes over. Below, we show what the state search looks like and how to use it.

Enter a name and hit search. The result shows the ADC number, sentence length, housing unit, and the projected release date.

Nevada County Sheriff's Office

Sheriff Danny Martin heads the Nevada County Sheriff's Office. The office covers law enforcement for the unincorporated parts of the county, jail operations, court security, and warrants. Deputies handle calls across the rural stretches. The main office at 209 East 3rd Street South serves as the walk-in point for records, reports, and warrant checks. Hours run Monday through Friday during normal business hours.

Nevada County covers Prescott, Emmet, Bluff City, Cale, Rosston, and Willisville. Prescott is the only large town. Arrests anywhere in the county come through the sheriff's office. That centralizes the data. The tax collector side of the office shares staff with the law enforcement side, so the front counter is a busy spot.

It works for the county jail and for state prison housing. For prison releases, the Arkansas Department of Community Correction runs the parole side. See the DCC website for regional offices.

Ark. Code Ann. § 12-27-145 covers what the state posts on parolees. That includes name, aliases, a recent photo, and programs completed. People released from state prison back to Nevada County report to a parole officer in the region. Call the DCC for the right office.

Criminal Background Checks

Two state tools cover Nevada County background data. The ARCH system at Ark. Code Ann. § 12-12-1501 et seq. gives a paid public search with no consent step. Each search is $24.00. The Arkansas State Police CBC handles consent-based checks. A state name check is $22.00 through the Information Network of Arkansas.

Volunteers pay less. A state check for a volunteer is $11.00. National fingerprint checks run $13.00, or $11.00 for volunteers. See the ASP FAQ for what data shows up. Paper mail requests to the ASP Identification Bureau cost $25 per check under form ASP-122.

• Full legal name and any known aliases

FOIA Requests in Nevada County

The Arkansas FOIA is codified at Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-101 et seq. Agencies have three business days to respond. The sheriff takes written FOIA requests at the Prescott office. Mail, fax, email, and in-person drop-off all work. A phone call can start a simple request but written follow-up is a good idea for anything more than a basic release date.

Common requests cover arrest reports, booking photos, dispatch logs, and release dates. Exemptions include active investigations, grand jury minutes, personnel files, medical records, and juvenile files. Copy fees are modest. The sheriff does not require a special form.

Released Inmates in the Prescott Area

Nevada County borders Hempstead, Ouachita, Calhoun, Columbia, and Lafayette counties. Some roadway arrests by state troopers near the county line end up at a neighbor jail. If the Prescott jail has no record, ask the deputies which county the person was booked in. Cross-county transfers happen when the local jail is full.

For a wider look at Arkansas custody data, the Arkansas Administrative Office of the Courts explains how the court system fits together. The Arkansas Attorney General page also has guidance on FOIA for records staff across the state.
