How the Lonoke County Inmate Search Works

The roster at the top of this page is the Lonoke County inmate search tool. Users can search the live roster by inmate name, booking number, or listed charge when those fields are available in the booking data. The roster is synced directly from official booking data and is designed to help users confirm current custody status before taking the next step.

Roster records may show the inmate's name, booking date, listed charges, custody status, and expanded profile details through the "View Details" option. Some records may display shortened charge text on the roster table, while expanded details may show more complete charge information when available. If a record does not display charges, call the jail at (501) 676-6494 to confirm the current booking information before acting on it.

The Lonoke County jail roster is not the same as a court docket or court records search. Jail roster data is managed administratively by the Sheriff's Office and tracks booking, detention, and custody details. Court records are maintained by the Circuit Clerk or district court clerks and may be available through the official Arkansas Judiciary "Search ARCourts" system, subject to Arkansas Supreme Court Administrative Order 19.

Posting Bail at Lonoke County Jail

Bail is set by the court, not by the Lonoke County Jail. Before coming to the facility, call the jail at (501) 676-6494 to confirm the inmate's current custody status, bail amount, case number, accepted payment methods, and any release-related instructions. Bond information can change after a hearing, court order, warrant review, or clerk processing.

Surety bonds executed by licensed professional bail bondsmen are accepted and recorded by the Circuit Clerk. Cash bail, credit card bail, online bail payment, and after-hours bail procedures are not confirmed for the jail, so users should verify payment options before taking action.

Sending Money to an Inmate

City Tele Coin is the confirmed deposit service for Lonoke County Jail. A deposit kiosk is physically located in the detention center lobby and accepts cash or credit cards. Exact public-access operational hours for the kiosk are not officially specified, so call the jail at (501) 676-6494 before making a trip.

Inmates at the Lonoke County Detention Center may use commissary funds to purchase hygiene products, food, calling cards, and mail supplies. The county data does not confirm deposit fees, posting times, money order rules, or booking fees. Call the jail at (501) 676-6494 to confirm current approved deposit methods and any costs before sending money.

Inmate Communication

City Tele Coin provides inmate phone service for Lonoke County Jail. Family members can set up a phone account through City Tele Coin or use the cash and credit kiosk in the jail lobby. Inmates cannot receive incoming calls, so communication normally depends on the inmate placing approved outgoing calls.

The listed in-state calling rate is approximately $0.35 per minute, but users should confirm current rates before funding a phone account. Video calling, electronic messaging, and photo sharing are available through SmartJailMail. Mail should be addressed to the inmate at the Lonoke County Detention Center, 440 Dee Dee Lane, Lonoke, AR 72086. Users should assume non-legal calls, messages, and mail may be monitored under jail communication rules.

Visitation at Lonoke County Jail

Visitation at Lonoke County Jail requires advance scheduling, and video visitation is available through lobby terminals and remote video using the SmartJailMail terminal kiosk system. The county data does not provide a full visitation schedule, visit duration, visitor limit, or public-access kiosk hours. Call (501) 676-6494 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.

Before visiting, users should be prepared to follow standard jail visitor requirements such as:

• 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.
• Schedule the visit in advance when required by the facility.
