How the St. Francis County Inmate Search Works

The roster at the top of this page serves as the St. Francis County inmate search. Users can search by name, switch between current and released records, and sort results by booking time, release time, or name in ascending or descending order.

Available roster fields include booking number, name, age, booking date, charges, and bond. Released records may also display a release date. The “48 Hour Release” view shows people released from the St. Francis County Detention Center during the previous 48 hours.
