How the Crittenden County Inmate Search Works
The Crittenden County inmate search at the top of this page is the roster tool for checking current custody and booking information. Available categories include Current Inmates, New Inmates, and Recent Releases. Users can sort records by arrest date and browse inmates by name.
Roster records may display the inmate’s name, race, sex, age, listed city and state, arrest date and time, arresting agency, charges, and bond amount.
The roster reflects booking status, immediate charges, and bond information maintained through the Sheriff’s Department’s RPS software. It is not a court docket. Search ARCourts provides formal case information from participating Arkansas circuit and district courts through the Contexte Case Management System.
Posting Bail at Crittenden County Jail
Bail is set by the court, not by the jail. Call the Jail Division at (870) 702-2080 before going to the facility to confirm the bond amount, case number, accepted payment method, and processing availability.
Bail is processed at the front window in the shared public lobby of the Crittenden County Sheriff’s Office and Detention Center at 350 Afco Road in West Memphis.
Misdemeanor bonds and Circuit Court payment plans can be processed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including after-hours misdemeanor bond service at the public-lobby front window. Felony bonds may be processed only between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.
Professional surety bonds are accepted. Signature, Citation, or Own Recognizance release is unavailable to defendants charged with violent crimes, drug offenses, or DWI. These release options are also unavailable to defendants with more than three arrests during the previous three years.
Sending Money to an Inmate
A deposit kiosk is available in the public lobby of the Crittenden County Detention Center at 350 Afco Road. The lobby is accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and the kiosk accepts cash and major credit cards.
