Crawford County Detention Center Overview

Crawford County Detention Center, also described by the sheriff as Crawford County Detention, is operated by the Crawford County Sheriff's Department. The official detention page says the sheriff is responsible for operating a jail facility for inmates committed by the courts and people awaiting trial. That makes this a county jail, not a state prison. It is the first lookup point for local arrests by the sheriff's department, Van Buren Police, other local agencies, and courts that commit a person to local custody.

The official detention source lists the facility at 4235 Alma Highway in Van Buren and gives the detention phone as 479-474-1721. The county-government sheriff page names Sheriff Daniel Perry and publishes the sheriff's main line as 479-474-2261 with fax 479-471-3264. Public pages also identify the detention leadership team: V.C. Winters, Captain and Detention Supervisor; Samantha Goodwin, Lieutenant and Detention Supervisor; and Tonya Luangsiyotha, Lieutenant and Detention Supervisor.

The facility should be read as a local custody hub. A person in the Crawford County Detention Center may be pretrial, serving a short local sentence, waiting on court action, or held under a court commitment. If the person has moved to a state prison unit, a federal institution, or immigration custody, the county roster may no longer show the correct record.

Crawford Detention Capacity

The sheriff detention page states that Crawford County Detention Center is certified to house 307 inmates. The live roster inspection in the research file showed about 246 current public roster entries on May 28, 2026, based on duplicated detail-link count, and the roster displayed a last-updated time of 3:00 PM. That count is useful as a point-in-time public roster count. It is not an average daily population and should not be treated as an annual jail population report.

The point-in-time roster count was about 80 percent of certified capacity when compared with the 307-bed figure. Crawford County did not publish an average daily population, annual booking total, length-of-stay report, or aggregate demographic table in the official sources reviewed. The public roster does show race and sex fields person by person, but it does not turn those fields into a county demographic report.

Crawford Detention Inmate Lookup

The correct public lookup for Crawford County Detention Center is the county jail roster at inmates.crawfordcountysheriff.org. The sheriff also maintains an inmate-search landing page that links to the roster and warns users to contact the Crawford County Clerk for a copy of the actual charge. For a broader custody explanation, Crawford County jail inmate records explain how the roster differs from court and prison records.

The Crawford County jail roster screenshot captured for the manifest shows the simple public search screen with Last Name and First Name fields, the inmate table, and a last-updated timestamp.

The image matches the research finding that the roster has no booking-date, release, agency, housing, or charge filters, so name search and the detail link carry most of the public lookup work.

1. Open the county roster from the sheriff inmate-search page or the direct roster URL.
2. Leave both name fields blank to browse the public list, or enter a first name, last name, or both.
3. Click Go, then use the inmate name or Show Details icon to open the profile.
4. Review the booking number, booking date, arresting agency, offense rows, bond amounts, bond type, and agency held for.
5. Call the detention line if the profile is missing, the bond label is unclear, or the person may have moved to state or federal custody.

Crawford Detention Address

Use the detention line for current custody questions, bond confirmation, visitor routing, and vendor issues that require the inmate to be active in the jail system. Official public-counter hours were not located in the sheriff or county sources, so phone confirmation is the practical step before travel. The same building address appears in the sheriff detention page, the sheriff footer, and the county-government sheriff profile.

Visitors, families, and records requesters should not assume that all jail services use the same entrance or counter. The research did not locate official parking, public transit, ADA entrance, or walk-in records-counter hours. Use the published address for navigation and call before arriving for bond, visitation, mail questions, or custody verification.

Crawford Detention Visitation

The sheriff detention page links its "Inmate Visitation" button to JailATM. It does not publish a local day-by-day schedule, dress code, or on-site video room hours in the current text reviewed for the research file. That means the safe route is to check the vendor workflow and call the detention line before travel. If a person was booked very recently, vendor systems may not show the person until jail records and account data catch up.

The sheriff-linked JailATM vendor page is the documented visitation channel from the detention page.

The vendor page supports the local finding that visitation is routed through an outside account workflow rather than a full schedule posted on the sheriff detention page.

Crawford Jail Mail and Money

Crawford County Detention Center's public detention page says mail policies changed effective November 20, 2017 and links a Mail Delivery Memo PDF. The research file notes that PDF text extraction was not available locally, so public copy should stay cautious. Do not mail packages, photos, books, publications, or money orders without checking the memo and calling the facility. The jail address is published, but no verified envelope format or scanning policy was captured in the public text.

The sheriff detention page links "Inmate Commissary" to Correct Solutions / csgpay, the vendor screenshot listed in the manifest.

Because the sheriff source did not publish a fee table, any deposit charge, limit, or payment rule should be verified in the vendor workflow before funds are sent.

Crawford Booking and Bond

Booking at Crawford County Detention Center creates local jail identifiers and public custody fields. The sample profile in the research file displayed a mugshot, inmate number, race, sex, height, weight, place of residence, booking number, booking date, arresting agency, offense rows, bond amount, bond type, agency held for, and bond total. The profile did not show full date of birth, Social Security number, medical information, exact housing unit, court date, judge, release date, or charge statute number.

Bond should be checked with care. The roster can show per-offense bond amounts and labels such as SENTENCED, NO BOND, and LEGAL SUFF. A no-bond, sentenced, court-commit, DOC, federal, ICE, or other-agency hold may prevent release even when one row seems to show a dollar amount. Call 479-474-1721 before traveling with payment, and check Search ARCourts or the Circuit Clerk when a filed court case controls the release order.

Crawford Detention Standards

Crawford County's detention page states that the jail is operated in accordance with Jail Standards, meaning State of Arkansas policies and regulations. The Arkansas Criminal Detention Facility Standards require adult detention operations to keep accurate intake, detention, and population records, and they address classification, separation, medical, mail, food, and safety practices. Those standards help explain why a county jail record exists even when a specific public roster field is limited.

Local operational details are also published. The detention page says meals are approved by a dietician and meet Arkansas Criminal Detention Facility Standards and Department of Health requirements. It says the kitchen is run by inmate labor and trustees. Public program detail was limited: no county-specific GED, substance-abuse, religious-services, grievance, PREA, or medical-request procedure was located in the public sheriff text reviewed.

ADOC BOP and ICE Fallbacks

Crawford County Detention Center is the correct starting point for current local jail custody. The Arkansas Department of Corrections locator is the fallback when a person is sentenced, transferred, placed in a state unit, or listed in a county waiting-list status. The ADOC search form includes fields for ADC number, county, name, facility, sex, offense category, age, ethnicity, and a required disclaimer checkbox. The research found that the ADOC facility dropdown includes Crawford County Waiting List, which matters for state-sentenced people who still have a county connection.

Federal and immigration records are separate. The Federal Bureau of Prisons locator covers sentenced federal prisoners and no BOP facility was identified in Crawford County. ICE ODLS is the immigration custody locator, and no ICE detention facility was identified in Crawford County. VINELink is a custody-notification portal and ADOC profiles can link to VINE. None of those systems replaces the county roster for a newly booked Crawford County Detention Center inmate.
