How the Yell County Inmate Search Works
The roster at the top of this page is the Yell County inmate search tool. Users can search the live jail roster by inmate name, booking number, or listed charge when those fields are available in the record. The "View Details" option expands the inmate profile information shown on the page.
The Yell County jail roster may display fields such as name, booking date, charges, and custody status. Some records may show multiple charges, while other records may have limited charge information. If charges, bail, case numbers, or custody status are important for a court appearance, bond decision, or release plan, call the jail at (479) 495-4880 to confirm the current information before acting.
The inmate lookup Yell County residents use on this page is not the court docket and is not a court records search. Jail records document physical detention, booking events, and facility housing under the Yell County Sheriff's Office. Court records document legal dockets, filings, motions, hearings, judgments, and case proceedings under the Circuit and District Court Clerks. Public judicial records for Arkansas courts are searched through Search ARCourts, the official Arkansas Judiciary database.
Posting Bail at Yell County Jail
Bail is set by the court, not by the Yell County Jail. Before coming to the facility, call the jail at (479) 495-4880 to confirm the current bail amount, case number, custody status, and whether the inmate is eligible for release.
Yell County Jail accepts surety bonds, and a list of registered bonding companies is posted at the facility. Users who plan to use a bondsman should confirm the inmate's current bail amount and case number before contacting a bonding company or arriving at the jail.
Call the jail at (479) 495-4880 to confirm accepted payment methods before coming to the facility. The confirmed data does not specify cash, card, money order, cashier's check, online bail payment, or after-hours bail procedures, so do not rely on assumptions about what the facility will accept.
Sending Money to an Inmate
Call the jail at (479) 495-4880 to confirm current approved deposit methods. The confirmed Yell County data does not name a commissary provider, online deposit platform, lobby kiosk, money order rule, cash drop-off procedure, deposit fee, deposit processing time, or booking fee.
Before sending funds or bringing money to the facility, ask the jail how the inmate's name should appear, whether a booking number is required, which deposit types are accepted, and whether funds can be used for commissary, fees, or other approved account purposes. Do not send cash, money orders, or online payments until the jail confirms the current rule.
Inmate Communication
For inmate phone access, call the jail at (479) 495-4880 to confirm the current phone service provider, account setup instructions, and whether inmates can receive messages or only place outgoing calls. The confirmed data does not identify a phone provider, messaging provider, voicemail service, video calling platform, call rate, or message rate.
Family members, attorneys, and friends should confirm whether the inmate is eligible for communication based on custody status, classification, discipline, transport, or court activity. Communication access may change based on facility operations or the inmate's housing status.
Mail for inmates should use the facility mailing address: Yell County Jail Facility / Yell County Detention Center, P.O. Box 99, Danville, AR 72833. Include the inmate's full name and any booking number if the jail confirms that one is required. Calls and mail may be monitored except confidential legal communication.
Visitation at Yell County Jail
Visitation schedules and formats at Yell County Jail can change based on facility operations, staffing, and inmate classification. Call (479) 495-4880 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.
Visitor rules commonly require advance confirmation with the facility before arrival:
- 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.
The confirmed data does not provide a visitation schedule, visit duration, visitor limit, ID rule, video visitation platform, or visit rate. Do not assume that visitation is available on a specific day or that the inmate is currently cleared to receive visits.
