Sebastian County Adult Detention Center Overview

The Sebastian County Adult Detention Center is operated by the Sebastian County Sheriff's Office. The county page states that the facility houses all inmates in Sebastian County and provides the public jail phone, address, capacity, and facility history. It is the adult detention facility tied to the New World Systems inmate inquiry.

The adult jail holds pretrial detainees, sentenced misdemeanants, court holds, and people waiting transfer after sentencing. Public roster profiles can show mugshots, demographics, booking history, bond, court dates, charges, classification, and housing facility. The research did not locate a state prison, BOP prison, or standalone ICE facility in Sebastian County, so this adult jail is the central local custody facility.

The jail also sits near the sheriff and court offices that shape a custody record. The Sheriff's Department is listed at 800 South A Street, the Adult Detention Center at 801 South A Street, and the Justice Building at 901 South B Street. That campus layout matters because booking, bond, and court-copy questions may route to nearby but different offices.

Sebastian County Adult Detention Capacity

The official county page lists 356 beds. Research also found a current-custody roster count of 326 records on May 29, 2026. That count is a dated public roster snapshot, not an annual average. The facility history says the current jail opened in 1995 with 266 beds and was expanded in 2007 with 90 additional beds because of overcrowding issues. Daily counts can change after releases, new bookings, court returns, and transfers.

Look Up Adult Detention Center Inmates

The correct lookup system is the county's New World inmate inquiry. Use it for current adult custody, historical booking profiles, photos, bonds, court dates, and charge rows connected to the Adult Detention Center. If the person has been sentenced and transferred to state prison, use the Arkansas DOC locator instead.

1. Open the Sebastian County inmate inquiry.
2. Check In Custody for a current Adult Detention Center search.
3. Search by name, Subject Number, or Booking Number.
4. Select Sebastian County Adult Detention Center if narrowing by housing facility.
5. Open the profile to review bond, charges, court information, photo, and release fields.

The roster can also help with mail and money because the Subject Number is the inmate ID used for scanned mail. If a name search returns several entries, compare birth date, booking date, booking origin, and the Multiple Bookings field before relying on a profile.

Sebastian County Adult Detention Contact

The jail page gives a public information phone direction and identifies the Adult Detention Center contact as Captain Josh Helmert. Use the jail phone for current status, booking, release, bond, or visitation questions that cannot wait for an online record update. Administrative sheriff hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Visiting Sebastian County Adult Detention

Current captured county pages use CorrectPay for visitation registration and scheduling. If a visitor has no electronic device, the county says a lobby kiosk can be used. Visits are recorded, may be canceled due to unforeseen circumstances, and can only be scheduled two days in advance. Inmates are allowed two visits per week.

Mail and Money at Adult Detention

Non-legal and non-commercial mail is scanned through the county's mail vendor process. The inmate name and ID number must be clearly printed, and the Subject Number from Inmate Inquiry is the inmate ID. Electronic messages use CorrectPay. Money can be deposited through the facility kiosk, online through CSGpay or RegentPay, or by phone.

Booking at Sebastian County Adult Detention

Adult booking records can include a Subject Number, Booking Number, booking date, booking origin, release date, scheduled release date, prisoner type, classification, housing facility, total bond amount, total bail amount, booking bonds, court-info rows, and charges. A booking photo can appear in the profile and result grid. The county did not publish a detailed intake policy in the captured sources, so specific booking timing should be verified with the jail.

Bond information should be checked before travel. The county FAQ says cash bond, when allowed, is paid at Booking and Information with exact cash plus a $20 fee. Legally sufficient or surety bond is handled through a bonding company, and the Sheriff's Office does not recommend a company. The public profile can also show a court date, court room, and charge-bond link, which helps families separate a local bond issue from a court hold or later prosecutor-filed charge.

About Sebastian County Adult Detention

The current jail opened in 1995 after the older courthouse jail, located on the top floor, was limited to 77 inmates. The county page reports the original construction cost as $6,179,646 and the original square footage as 44,700 square feet. The jail reached its 266-bed maximum within a month of opening, and the 2007 expansion added 90 beds at a cost of $4,142,657.

The facility page also states that 56 deputies work shifts around the clock. The roster's classification field and the facility's public visitation, mail, and money systems show the mix of custody, security, and family-contact work handled by the jail. The county FAQ states that work release is not offered at this time.

For sentenced state prisoners, the Adult Detention Center page is only part of the timeline. The county FAQ addresses transfer to prison after sentencing, and the research notes that Arkansas DOC controls that movement. Once the person leaves local custody, the Arkansas DOC locator becomes the better public source than the county roster.
