About the Johnson County Jail
The Johnson County Jail in Johnson County, Arkansas, is officially listed as the Johnson County Detention Center. The facility is a county detention center located in Clarksville and is operated by the Johnson County Sheriff's Office. Grant Nicely serves as interim Sheriff of Johnson County, Arkansas, following Tom Hughes' resignation in 2026.
The Johnson County Detention Center has an official facility capacity of 96. The roster and court data connect Johnson County custody records with felony matters handled through the Fifth Judicial Circuit Court and misdemeanor or traffic matters handled through the Seventh State District Court, Division One.
The live inmate information on this page reflects jail roster data, not a court docket. Jail roster information tracks physical custody, local booking information, arresting agency, preliminary charges, booking bond, and related custody fields, while court records contain formal case filings, hearings, pleas, judgments, and final dispositions.

How the Johnson County Inmate Search Works
The Johnson County inmate search tool is the live roster at the top of this page. It displays custody information synced directly from official booking data, so users can check whether a person is currently listed in the Johnson County Detention Center roster.
The confirmed roster fields include mugshot photo, full name, demographic code, home city and state of residence, arrest timestamp, arresting agency, booking charges, bond amount, court date, court name, and release timestamp for the released list. Booking number is not listed on the Johnson County Detention Center Inmate Roster, so users should search and sort by the confirmed options available on the page.
The confirmed roster navigation options include "Current Inmates," "New Inmates," and "Recent Releases." Users can sort by name or arrest date, use the "Select Name" dropdown search, and adjust page size.
Native keyword text searches, booking number searches, and booking date searches are not available on the confirmed web roster. The "Recent Releases" view compiles profiles of people released from physical custody within the last 48 hours.
Some roster records may change as booking, bond, court, or release information is updated. Call the jail at (479) 754-2200 before acting on bail, charges, case numbers, custody status, or release information.
The Johnson County jail roster is not the same as a court records search. Court-record information is available through Search ARCourts, the confirmed Arkansas court-record system named in the county data. Search ARCourts is searchable by participant name or case number and covers court case details rather than jail custody status.
Posting Bail at Johnson County Jail
Bail for a Johnson County Jail inmate is set by the court, not by the jail. Before coming to the Johnson County Detention Center, call the jail at (479) 754-2200 to confirm the person is still in custody, confirm the current bail amount, and verify the case number or court information tied to the bond.
Bail can be presented directly to detention staff at the Johnson County Detention Center lobby. Cash bonds are also officially receipted by and paid to the Johnson County District Court Clerk for active cases. Cash is confirmed as an accepted payment method for "cash-only" or standard cash bonds.
Other bail payment methods are not confirmed in the county data. Call the jail at (479) 754-2200 to confirm accepted payment methods before coming to the facility.
Court-ordered conditions set during on-site Johnson County Detention Center bond hearings may require the defendant to commit no offense punishable by incarceration and remain in contact with their attorney and the court. Because bond terms can change by case, users should confirm active release conditions with the court or jail before relying on roster bond information.
Sending Money to an Inmate
Johnson County Detention Center uses Tiger Commissary Web Deposits as the confirmed online platform for depositing funds into an inmate's trust fund account. Use the inmate's correct name and custody information when starting a deposit so the funds are applied to the right account.
Cash drop-off rules, money order rules, lobby kiosk availability, deposit fees, and deposit processing times are not confirmed in the county data. Call the jail at (479) 754-2200 to confirm current approved deposit methods before sending money or coming to the facility.
No inmate booking fees, commissary fees, or trust-account deductions are confirmed in the county data. Families should confirm current account rules directly with the Johnson County Detention Center before making a deposit.
Inmate Communication
The current phone service provider for Johnson County Detention Center is not confirmed in the county data. Call the jail at (479) 754-2200 to confirm the current phone service provider and account setup instructions.
The county data does not confirm whether inmates can receive incoming calls, voicemail, electronic messages, or video calls. Call the jail at (479) 754-2200 to confirm current inmate phone rules and whether inmates can receive messages or only place outgoing calls.
Mail should be addressed using the confirmed facility mailing format: Inmate Name, Johnson County Detention Center, 301 Porter Industrial Road, Clarksville, AR 72830. Calls and mail may be monitored except confidential legal communication, so avoid sending private case strategy through regular inmate communication channels.
Visitation at Johnson County Jail
Visitation schedules and formats at Johnson County Jail can change based on facility operations, staffing, and inmate classification. Call (479) 754-2200 before planning a visit to confirm the current schedule, whether your visit will be in-person or video, and whether the inmate is cleared to receive visitors.
General visitor rules to confirm before visiting include:
- Bring a valid government-issued photo ID.
- Minors may need a parent or legal guardian present.
- Follow jail dress code and conduct rules.
- Confirm whether court, transport, discipline, or classification issues affect visitation.
Video visitation is not confirmed in the county data, and no video visitation platform is named. Do not assume a remote visit option is available until the jail confirms the current format.
Johnson County Court Information
Johnson County criminal cases are handled through confirmed Arkansas court jurisdictions. Felony matters are handled by the Fifth Judicial Circuit Court. Misdemeanor and traffic matters are handled by the Seventh State District Court, Division One.
The court handles arraignments, bail hearings, pretrial proceedings, trials, sentencing, and other case proceedings connected to criminal charges. A hearing notice controls the date, time, location, and format of a court appearance, so defendants and families should rely on the official court notice rather than the jail roster alone.
Search ARCourts is the confirmed court-record system named in the county data. The system is searchable by participant name or case number, while in-person or mail-in requests are processed by providing party names, case number, filing date, or case type. Electronic records are restricted under Arkansas Supreme Court Administrative Order 19 and exclude social security numbers, bank or financial data, home addresses, medical and adoption records, records of minors, grand jury minutes, undercover officer identities, unpublished judicial drafts, and sealed, expunged, or classified case files.
Court records may include case status, presiding judge, docket entry summaries, charges, dispositions, future scheduled events, judgments, pleas, and financial transaction codes. Circuit Court records cover felonies, major civil filings, domestic relations, probate, and juvenile records. District Court records cover misdemeanors, traffic violations, small claims, local ordinance cases, and preliminary felony proceedings.
