How the Marion County Inmate Search Works
The Marion County inmate search tool is the live roster at the top of this page. Users can review current inmates, new inmates, recent releases, and the 48 Hour Release view when those roster options are available on the page.
The Marion County Detention Center Inmate Roster includes roster fields such as mugshot or photo, full name, race, sex, age, resident address, arrest date and time, arresting agency, charges, bond details, and court details with court date, time, and location when populated. The roster also supports sorting by name or arrested date, page-size views of 10, 20, or 30 records, and a "Select Name" alphabetical dropdown for current inmates.
For current inmates, the confirmed search function uses a predefined "Select Name" dropdown rather than a free-text search box. Use "View Details" or the expanded inmate profile area to review charge tables, bond details, and court details when they are listed for that inmate. Some court dates and times may be inconsistently populated on individual inmate cards, so call the jail at 870-449-4236 ext. 608 before acting on custody, bail, charges, case numbers, or release information.
The roster is not the court docket and is not a certified court records search. Marion County roster data is provided as a convenience tracking log, while legally binding charge and case information should be confirmed with the Marion County Circuit Clerk of Court or Marion County District Clerk of Court. The confirmed Arkansas court-record system named in the county data is Search ARCourts for courts using the Contexte Case Management System.
Posting Bail at Marion County Jail
Bail is set by the court, not by the Marion County Jail. Before coming to the facility, call the jail at 870-449-4236 to confirm the current bail amount, case number, custody status, and release eligibility.
Bail is paid at the Marion County Sheriff's Office, 221 Randolph Road / Highway 202 West, Yellville, AR 72687. Confirmed accepted payment methods are cash or a surety bond issued by an Arkansas-licensed bail bonding company. The Sheriff's Office accepts surety bonds from professional, licensed bail bonding companies.
Confirmed release conditions include Standing No Contact Orders in domestic violence arrests, which may remain in effect for up to two years. Defendants with an appointed public defender must maintain active consultation, and violations may lead to judicial bond revocation.

The confirmed inmate fee is a flat $5.00 carrying / booking fee per prisoner. No confirmed cash drop-off rules, kiosk rules, money order rules, deposit processing times, or deposit fees were provided in the county data block.
When sending mail to an inmate, use the confirmed inmate mail address: P.O. Box 591, Longview, TX 75606. Include the inmate's full name and follow any jail mail rules provided by staff before sending photos, documents, or other items.
