Sebastian County Juvenile Detention Overview
The Sebastian County Juvenile Detention Center is operated by the Sebastian County Sheriff's Office on the South A Street justice campus. The official page lists Chris Landrum as the contact and describes the mission as providing a safe educational environment for young offenders. It is a juvenile detention facility, not an adult jail roster facility.
The public adult New World inmate inquiry is tied to the Sebastian County Adult Detention Center. It should not be used as proof that a juvenile is or is not held. Juvenile custody and juvenile court records are restricted, and public access depends on the role of the requester, court authority, and the specific record.
This distinction is important for families and record searchers. An adult jail page can discuss public booking photos, bond fields, charge tables, and release dates. A juvenile detention page must focus on lawful routing, facility contact, parent or guardian contact, court-sensitive routing, and limited public access for youth records and urgent facility questions.
Sebastian County Juvenile Detention Population
The research did not locate an official capacity number for the Juvenile Detention Center. The Facility Map identifies the population held as young offenders in a juvenile detention setting and notes that juvenile records and custody information are not handled like adult jail records. Because no sourced bed count or public daily population was found, no capacity figure should be inferred.
The absence of a public capacity number is itself an important limit. Adult detention research includes a 356-bed capacity, roster snapshots, and demographic counts. Those figures belong to the adult jail and should not be reused for juvenile detention. Juvenile population questions should be directed to authorized facility or court contacts.
Look Up Juvenile Detention Records
There is no public adult-style roster documented for the Sebastian County Juvenile Detention Center. Juvenile custody questions should be routed through the facility, juvenile probation, counsel, or the juvenile court process when the requester has a lawful reason to ask. Arkansas juvenile confidentiality rules, including Ark. Code Ann. sec. 9-27-309, are the key reason this page reads differently from the adult detention page.
- Do not search the adult inmate inquiry for juvenile custody records.
- Call the juvenile facility for appropriate routing when the inquiry is lawful.
- Use court or probation contacts when the matter involves juvenile court authority.
- Expect restricted access if the requester is not authorized.
When the person is an adult, the correct page is the Adult Detention Center or jail inmate records page. When the person is a young offender, start with the juvenile facility phone number and be ready to explain the legal reason for the request.
Sebastian County Juvenile Detention Contact
The official juvenile detention page lists the same South A Street campus address used for the jail complex and gives a dedicated juvenile detention phone number and fax. Use this contact for facility-routing questions, not for adult jail roster records. The page also lists Chris Landrum and an official county email address for juvenile detention contact.

Visiting Sebastian County Juvenile Detention
The captured research did not locate a public visitation schedule for juvenile detention. Juvenile visitation rules may depend on facility policy, court orders, parent or guardian status, and case restrictions. Call the juvenile detention center before visiting or sending anything.
| Item | Public Research Result |
|---|---|
| Published schedule | Not located in official captured pages. |
| Public roster | No adult-style roster located. |
| Record access | Restricted juvenile access rules apply. |
| Facility phone | 479-783-3532. |
Do not apply the adult jail's CorrectPay visit limits to this facility unless the juvenile center confirms them. Juvenile contact can have different safeguards, parent or guardian rules, and court limits.
Programs at Sebastian County Juvenile Detention
The official page describes services and programs rather than public booking data. Listed services include mental health counseling, tutors, inspirational speakers, role models for juveniles, assistance for parents of young offenders, and religious services for all denominations. These details support the facility's juvenile mission and should not be treated as adult jail privileges or adult inmate services.
- Mental health counseling.
- Tutors and inspirational speakers.
- Good role models for juveniles.
- Assistance for parents of young offenders.
- Religious services for all denominations.
The program list also shows why public adult-inmate assumptions do not fit this facility. The juvenile center is framed around supervision, education, family support, counseling, and court-linked youth services. That focus is separate from adult detention topics such as cash bond, public mugshots, scanned inmate mail, and commissary deposits.
Mail and Money for Juvenile Detention
The adult jail's CorrectPay, scanned-mail, and RegentPay details should not be copied onto the juvenile page unless the juvenile facility confirms they apply. The research did not locate a separate juvenile mail, phone, commissary, or deposit schedule in the captured official pages. Call the juvenile detention center before sending mail, money, or property.
| Service | Public Guidance |
|---|---|
| Confirm with juvenile detention before sending. | |
| Phone contact | Use 479-783-3532 for routing. |
| Money or property | No public fee or deposit schedule found. |
Parents, guardians, and attorneys may have different access paths from the general public. The official page emphasizes programs and parent assistance, which supports a direct call to the juvenile center before using any adult jail process.
Sebastian County Juvenile Record Limits
Juvenile records are intentionally handled apart from adult inmate records. The adult jail roster publishes names, photos, booking data, and charges for adult detention profiles. Juvenile custody records are restricted, and juvenile photos should not be requested or described as adult-style mugshots. If a lawful record question exists, use the juvenile court process or authorized agency contact.
Adult jail records, state prison records, federal records, and ICE custody records all have their own lookup systems. The Juvenile Detention Center page should be used for facility identity and routing, not for public roster searches. Do not infer a public mugshot policy, bond table, commissary fee, or roster count for the juvenile center from adult jail research. If a juvenile later enters an adult case, verify the record source before relying on any public listing.
Note: Call the juvenile facility before travel because public online custody confirmation is not available like the adult roster.
