About the Newton County Jail
Newton County Jail, also known as Newton County Detention Center, is a county jail and detention center located in Jasper, Arkansas. The facility is operated by the Newton County Sheriff's Office under Sheriff Glenn Wheeler and serves Newton County, district courts and city courts within Newton County, and the Arkansas Department of Corrections.
Newton County Jail has an official facility capacity of 30. The jail may house pretrial detainees, misdemeanor and traffic violators, state bed wait inmates under Act 309, and ACC residents. Because the facility handles both local custody and certain state-related holds, users should confirm custody, bail, and release details with the jail before acting on roster information.
The public roster is provided on an "as is" basis, and the county's roster disclaimer places reliance risk on the user. Call the jail before making decisions based on charges, bond amounts, case numbers, custody status, or release information.

How the Newton County Inmate Search Works
The roster at the top of this page is the Newton County inmate search tool. It is designed for users who need to find a person currently in custody, review a booking record, or check whether a recent release is listed.
The Newton County Sheriff's Office jail roster supports roster navigation through Current Inmates, New Inmates, and Recent Releases. Users can sort by arrested date or name, use a Select Name dropdown, and adjust the page size. The Recent Releases view shows inmates released within the last 48 hours.
Roster records may display mugshot, name, race, sex, age, address city and state, arrested date and time, arresting agency, charges, and bond amount. Some active custodial holds, including holds for another county or probation and parole holds, may appear without a numerical bond amount. Some roster fields may be blank, so call the jail at 870-446-5124 before relying on a record for bail, release, or case action.
Use the "View Details" option or expanded profile details when available to review the inmate's listed booking information. The roster may show initial, unadjudicated booking or arrest charges and active custodial holds. It is not the same thing as a court docket or a court records search.
Court records for Newton County may be searched through Search ARCourts, the system that replaced Public CourtConnect. Search ARCourts covers participating circuit and district court cases and may show parties, presiding judge, filings, criminal charges and dispositions, future scheduled events, judgments, chronological docket entries, and accessible public documents.
Posting Bail at Newton County Jail
Bail is set by the court, not by Newton County Jail. Before coming to the facility, call Newton County Jail at 870-446-5124 to confirm the current bail amount, case number, custody status, and whether the person is eligible for release.
Bail for Newton County detainees may be paid online through the authorized municipal bond gateway or in person through Sheriff's Dispatch. General court fines and costs are paid through District Court rather than through the jail bond process.
Online bond payments may be made by credit or debit card through the authorized third-party municipal bond gateway identified by the Sheriff's Office. In-person payments through Sheriff's Dispatch may be made by cash, check, money order, or cashier's check. The Sheriff's Administrative Office is listed for Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM, and the Court Office is listed for Monday through Thursday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
For after-hours bail, the confirmed process allows use of the 24/7 online payment portal or contact with the on-duty Dispatch staff to have bond information entered into the system. Call 870-446-5124 before leaving for the jail so you do not arrive with the wrong payment method or incomplete release information.
Sending Money to an Inmate
Newton County Jail uses Tiger Commissary for inmate commissary deposits. When selecting the facility in the deposit system, choose "Newton County Jail in Jasper, AR."
Call the jail at 870-446-5124 before sending money if you need to confirm whether the inmate is eligible to receive commissary funds, whether any account restrictions apply, or whether a deposit has posted. The confirmed county data identifies the online commissary platform, but it does not confirm lobby kiosk rules, cash drop-off rules, money order rules, deposit processing times, deposit fees, or booking fees.
Do not send cash or money orders by mail unless jail staff confirms that the method is currently approved. Use the inmate's correct name and booking information when making a deposit so funds are credited to the proper account.

Call the jail at 870-446-5124 to confirm current inmate phone rules and whether inmates can receive messages or only place outgoing calls. If the person has court, classification, transport, or disciplinary restrictions, communication access may be affected.

Include the inmate's full name in the mailing information. Calls and mail may be monitored, except confidential legal communication handled under jail rules.
