How the Dallas County Inmate Search Works
The Dallas County inmate search tool is the live roster at the top of this page. Users can search the roster by inmate name, booking number, or listed charge when those fields are available in the record. The roster displays current custody information and lets users open "View Details" or expanded record details when a profile has additional fields.
The Dallas County jail roster may show fields such as name, booking date, charges, and custody status. Some inmate records may show multiple charges, while other records may have limited information depending on what is available in the official booking data. If a charge, bond, case number, or custody detail is missing or unclear, call Dallas County Jail at (870) 352-2002 before making bail, visitation, or court plans.
The roster is not the court docket and is not a court records search. For court case information, Dallas County criminal matters are handled through Dallas County Circuit Court in Arkansas's 13th Judicial Circuit, and confirmed online court-record access is through the Arkansas Courts Caseinfo / Search ARCourts system.
Posting Bail at Dallas County Jail
Bail is set by the court, not by Dallas County Jail. Before coming to the facility, call the jail at (870) 352-2002 to confirm the current bail amount, case number, custody status, and whether the inmate is eligible for release. Bail information can change after a hearing, new charge, warrant, hold, or court order.
Confirmed release options for Dallas County Jail include release on the person's own recognizance, use of a private surety bond company, a property bond, or a cash bond. Because payment procedures can depend on the case and court order, users should confirm accepted payment methods, the correct payment location, and any required paperwork before arriving.
The roster helps identify the person and booking information, but the active bail amount, case number, and release eligibility should be verified directly with the jail or court before payment.
Sending Money to an Inmate
Dallas County Jail has confirmed inmate-account deposit options. A lobby kiosk is listed for deposits to an inmate account at Dallas County Jail, but the source notes that the kiosk may not be available. Call the jail at (870) 352-2002 before going to the facility to confirm whether the kiosk is currently operating and what payment types it accepts.
Money orders or cashier's checks may also be used for deposits. For mailed deposits, include the inmate's name and use the confirmed jail address of 106 South Charlotte, Fordyce, AR 71742. If you are unsure how the inmate's name must appear or whether a booking number is required, confirm the mailing requirements before sending funds.
No confirmed deposit fee, processing time, or online commissary platform is provided in the county data. Confirm current deposit rules, fees, and posting times with Dallas County Jail before sending money.
Inmate Communication
Dallas County Jail uses NCIC Inmate Communications for inmate phone service, video calling, messaging, and picture messages. Family and friends can set up or fund an NCIC account online through NCIC or by calling 1-800-943-2189. Use the inmate's full name and confirm the person is still in custody before adding funds.
