Pulaski County Jail Roster Online

The sheriff publishes the jail roster through the Pulaski County Zuercher portal. The portal lets you search current inmates by name, race, sex, or arrest date. Each record shows a mugshot, name, race, sex, date of birth, arrest date, and holding agency. Click a name for the charge, bond type, and bond amount.

The portal is the fastest path to find a current or recently released Pulaski County inmate. The data updates after each booking and release. If a name drops off the roster, the person may have been released, moved to state prison, or transferred to a federal facility. Cross-check the ADC tool and VINELink when the county roster comes back empty.

• Full name of the inmate or at least a last name
• Date of birth or a narrow age range
• Approximate booking date if the roster is crowded
