About the Cleburne County Jail
Cleburne County Jail in Arkansas is officially known as the Cleburne County Sheriff's Detention Center and is also referred to as the Cleburne County Detention Center. The facility is operated by the Cleburne County Sheriff's Office under Sheriff Chris Brown, with Captain Ken Speratos listed as facility division commander and Jason Jones listed as Jail Administrator.
The Cleburne County Sheriff's Detention Center is a county jail and detention center serving Cleburne County, Arkansas. It houses pretrial detainees, sentenced inmates, probation and parole revocation holds, and holds for other jurisdictions. The facility houses male and female inmates, but long-term female inmates are housed at White County Jail in Searcy, Arkansas, and juveniles are not housed at this facility.
The jail is used by the Cleburne County Sheriff's Office, Heber Springs Police Department, and Arkansas State Police. Because roster information can change and is not certified as a court record, confirm bail, custody status, charges, case numbers, or release decisions with the jail before taking action.

How the Cleburne County Inmate Search Works
The roster at the top of this page is the Cleburne County inmate search tool. Use the Search By Name box to look up a person in custody, use the Current Inmates view for people currently in custody, or use the Released and 48 Hour Release views when you need recent release information.
The Cleburne County Sheriff's Office Detention Center Inmate Roster includes booking number, age, booking date, charges, bond amount, and release date when listed. Expanded profile details may also include gender, race, and arresting agency. Use “View Details” or the expanded profile area when available to review the full booking record shown for that inmate.
Some records may show limited charge details, and bond information can change after a court action or case update. Detention center staff at (501) 362-2596 can confirm the current bail amount, charges, and case numbers before you make payment, travel to the facility, or contact a bonding company.
The jail roster is not the same as a court docket and is not a court records search. The roster shows physical custody and booking information maintained for jail operations, while court records show case filings, hearings, orders, and judicial decisions. Confirmed court-record access for Cleburne County includes Search ARCourts, which replaced the older Public CourtConnect database.
Posting Bail at Cleburne County Jail
Bail for Cleburne County Jail is set by the court, not by the jail. Before coming to the facility or contacting a bonding company, call detention center staff at (501) 362-2596 to confirm the current bail amount, charges, and case numbers.
Cleburne County accepts cash bonds and surety bonds through professional, licensed bail bonding companies. Officers cannot recommend a specific bonding company or bondsman. Standard conditions of bond and pretrial release apply, and violating those conditions can result in bond revocation and return to custody.
A roster bond amount is not a final court record and may change after a court action, warrant update, hold, or case review. If the roster shows a bond amount, use it as preliminary information until the jail or court confirms the current release requirement.
Sending Money to an Inmate
Cleburne County Jail uses JailATM.com for online inmate deposits and electronic services. The jail lobby also has a kiosk at 914 South 9th Street, Heber Springs, AR 72543.
Cash and money orders are accepted when left in person at the front counter. Inmates may use approved funds to purchase phone cards, underwear, socks, commissary items, and other approved-list items. Outside food and clothing deliveries are not allowed.
A $20 booking and administration fee applies after a felony or Class A misdemeanor conviction under Arkansas Code § 12-41-505. Use the inmate’s correct identifying information when making a deposit or sending mail through JailATM or the facility.
Inmate Communication
Family members who want to help an inmate place voice calls may make a cash deposit at the front counter or use the lobby kiosk to fund the inmate’s commissary account. The inmate can then use that account to purchase phone cards.
The confirmed information explains how inmates place voice calls using phone cards purchased through commissary funds, but it does not confirm whether inmates can receive incoming calls. Electronic messaging, digital picture attachments, and video services are supported through JailATM.com, and JailATM accounts must be registered and funded for electronic communication.
Non-legal and non-commercial mail should be addressed through JailATM.com - Cleburne County Jail, INMATE ID: INMATE FULL NAME, 500 Amity Road, Ste 5B, PMB 53, Conway, AR 72032. Legal and commercial correspondence should be sent directly to 914 South 9th Street, Heber Springs, AR 72543.
For true emergencies, family members may contact the Sheriff's main office at (501) 362-8143 or the non-emergency dispatch line at (501) 362-8291. Staff only deliver personal messages in verified emergency circumstances with authorization from the on-duty patrol division supervisor.

Cleburne County Court Information
Cleburne County criminal court matters may involve different courts depending on the case type. Felony cases are handled by Cleburne County Circuit Court, 16th Judicial District, 4th Division, with Judge Tim Weaver listed for that division. Misdemeanors, traffic violations, and local ordinance cases are handled by the 13th State District Court, Cleburne County Department, with Judge Lance Wright listed.
The court handles arraignments, bail hearings, pretrial proceedings, trials, sentencing, and related case proceedings. A hearing notice controls the date, time, location, and format of a court appearance, so jail roster information should not be used as a substitute for a court notice or court record.
Confirmed Cleburne County court-record information identifies Search ARCourts as the Arkansas court-record system for participating courts. Records may be searchable by participant name, case number, case type, filing date range, and assigned court when available. Arkansas Supreme Court Administrative Order 19 limits online access to confidential, sensitive, and juvenile-related information, and not every document link is available online.
