Randolph County Jail Roster and Inmate Search

Check the Randolph County jail roster

• The Randolph County jail roster is the main place to look up people currently housed at the Randolph County Detention Center.
• Start with the inmate list: If you find a possible match, review the record carefully before you move on.
• Next step: If you need to confirm current custody status, contact the jail directly.

Confirm you found the right person

Finding a name in the roster is only the first step. Before you rely on that result, use the details below to confirm that you have the correct person and to understand what a missing name may actually indicate.

Verification Tips

• Match booking details and charges: When more than one person has a similar name, compare the booking date, listed charges, and any other identifying details shown in the roster entry.
• Common names: Even a small difference in booking date or charge wording can matter, so review the record carefully before you assume the person is still in custody.
• If the name is not showing in the roster: It may mean the person is no longer in Randolph County custody, has not been booked into the roster you are viewing, or is being held somewhere else.
• Best next step: Contact the jail for confirmation, and if the person is not in county custody, check the Arkansas state inmate system.

What to do after you find someone in Randolph County

• Once you have confirmed the right roster entry, the next step is usually to verify status with the jail or set up an approved way to communicate.

Follow-Up Options

• Call the Randolph County Detention Center: If you need to confirm information or ask what steps come next, contact the Randolph County Detention Center at 870-892-8888. The jail is located at 1510 Pace Rd, Pocahontas, AR 72455.
• Set up calls, messaging, or video visits (NCIC): Randolph County uses NCIC for inmate phone service, messaging, and video visits. The jail's published communications material says inmates cannot receive direct incoming calls, although approved voicemail messages may be available through the service. It also states that inmates get access to phones after booking, and that calls can be made from housing-area phones and handheld tablets.
• Communication setup: To communicate with an inmate, set up an NCIC account and use that system for available services. Because communication pricing can change, check the current rates inside the NCIC system before you add funds.

Randolph County inmate mail rules

Mail procedures depend on the type of correspondence you are sending. Before you mail anything, make sure you are using the correct address and process for either regular inmate mail or legal mail.

Mail Procedures

• Non-legal mail: Randolph County routes regular inmate mail through an off-site processing center in Longview, Texas. The jail's posted mail notice says non-legal mail is scanned and then delivered to the inmate electronically, and that the original mailed items are destroyed after processing.
• Non-legal mail address: Inmate Name, Inmate Number, Randolph County Detention Center AR, PO Box 591, Longview, TX 75606.
• Maximum size: 8.5 x 11.
• Maximum pages: 5.
• Maximum photos: 1 photo per mailing.
• Legal mail: Legal mail should be sent directly to the jail, not to the Texas mail-processing address.
• Legal mail address: Randolph County Detention Center, 1510 Pace Rd, Pocahontas, AR 72455.
• Labeling: Make sure the envelope is clearly marked as legal mail so it is handled correctly.

If the person is not in the Randolph County roster

• A missing roster result does not always mean the search is over. Start with the county jail for a direct custody check, then move to the state system if the person may be held outside Randolph County.

Next Steps

• Contact the jail for confirmation: If the person does not appear in the inmate list, call 870-892-8888 to ask whether they are currently housed at the Randolph County Detention Center. This is the most direct next step when the online roster does not answer the question.
• Check the Arkansas state inmate system: If the person is not in Randolph County custody, they may be in state custody instead. Use the Arkansas Department of Corrections inmate search for prison inmates and other state-held records.
• County vs. state custody: The Randolph County jail roster covers county detention, while the Arkansas Department of Corrections search covers state prison custody.
