Lawrence County Jail Roster

The Lawrence County sheriff roster page is the official web entry point for current county jail inmates. It embeds the AceOne roster feed, which was observed as a card-based list across five pages on May 29, 2026. The sheriff page says the roster provides information on individuals currently in custody at the Lawrence County Detention Center and is updated regularly, but it also warns that information may change and may not reflect the most current status.

The roster is local jail information. It does not replace Search ARCourts, the Arkansas DOC locator, the BOP inmate locator, the ICE Online Detainee Locator, or a written public-records request. A person may appear first as a booking card in Lawrence County, then later as a court case, a state-prison record, or a federal/immigration custody record. For urgent release, bond, or visit questions, the Lawrence County Detention Center phone line at (870) 886-2525 is the direct fallback.

The roster's local shape is important: it is not a searchable field form. Users see card records and move through pagination. That makes exact spelling, browser find, and patient page review more useful than trying to enter a name into a nonexistent search field.

Use the Lawrence County Roster

Start with the sheriff site rather than a commercial search result. The official page frames the roster as Lawrence County Detention Center custody information and links the reader into the embedded AceOne feed. If the iframe does not load well on a phone, the Lawrence County Sheriff's Android app is another documented channel because the Google Play listing advertises roster, current-inmate, recent-intake, and charge features.

1. Open the Lawrence County Sheriff's Office homepage and choose the Inmate Roster link.
2. Let the embedded roster load, then scan the visible booking cards.
3. Use browser find for the last name because no roster search box was visible during inspection.
4. Move through the pagination controls and compare name, booking number, booking date, and charges.
5. Call the detention center if the person is missing, recently arrested, released, transferred, or listed with unclear status.

The AceOne roster frame below shows the card style readers should expect when checking Lawrence County inmate records.

Each visible card is brief. It helps confirm a booking, but it does not contain a complete court, bond, or release record.

Lawrence County Roster Search Fields

The most useful search-field table for Lawrence County is a missing-field table. The roster did not show text boxes or filters. That does not mean the information is private. It means the public interface is a paginated card feed, so the search method is different from a county site with last-name and booking-number fields.

Lawrence County Inmate Profile Fields

Public Lawrence County inmate records on the roster show the booking facts needed to identify the person and the jail event. They do not show the whole criminal case. The booking charge may change once the prosecutor files formal court charges, and the roster does not show the judge, court date, case number, housing unit, or bond amount.

Lawrence County Custody Access

The full access chain starts online but should not end there. Use the roster first for current custody. Use the jail phone line when timing matters. Use a written Arkansas FOIA request when a booking record, release record, or jail record is not posted. Use the app when the website iframe is difficult on mobile. Use court, state, federal, and immigration systems when custody or case status has moved outside the county roster.

Lawrence County Jail Facility

Lawrence County has one detention facility in the facility map for this build. The jail is operated by the sheriff, not a separate county corrections department. The county page says the sheriff is responsible for operating and maintaining the detention center, housing and caring for inmates, transporting inmates, and providing court security.

Vera lists the jail's rated capacity as 100 beds in 2023, and the Arkansas legislative exhibit reports 100 beds added through a new jail in the 2015 to 2021 period. The sheriff site did not publish a current housing-unit map or official daily population dashboard.

Booking Process in Lawrence County

Local official pages do not publish a step-by-step booking manual. The roster evidence still shows the public-facing path. After arrest by a deputy, city officer, state police officer, or another agency, the person is transported to the Lawrence County Detention Center. Booking creates the booking number and timestamp. A booking photo is taken, charges are entered, and classification or housing decisions occur inside the jail.

Some booking facts are public on the card. Other facts are not. Release status, bond, court date, housing unit, and arresting agency were not shown on the cards inspected. Court timing also splits by case type. District Court handles traffic, misdemeanor, ordinance, small-claims, and limited civil matters. Circuit Court handles felony and higher-level criminal files maintained by the Circuit Clerk. The Third Judicial District Prosecuting Attorney handles prosecution for Lawrence County and nearby counties.

Lawrence County Jail Visitation

The sheriff homepage posts a narrow local visit schedule. Visits are not drop-in. They must be scheduled ahead, and late arrival cuts into the same short visit block. The sheriff site did not publish full dress-code, ID, child-visitor, attorney-visit, locker, contraband, or video-visit vendor rules, so call before travel.

State and Federal Inmate Records

The county roster covers local custody. The Arkansas DOC inmate search covers sentenced prisoners, county 309/work entries, and Lawrence County Waiting List statuses. The DOC form can be searched by ADC number, county, name, facility, gender, offense category, age, and race after the required disclaimer is checked. Lawrence-specific facility options in the research included Lawrence Co.309/Work and Lawrence County Waiting List.

Request Lawrence County Jail Records

The sheriff website did not publish a dedicated FOIA form in the pages reviewed. The contact page and footer provide the sheriff and jail phone, fax, address, and email. A written request should identify the full name, booking number if known, date range, record type, and requester contact details. For booking photos, ask for the booking photograph and booking record for the named person and booking date.

Fees were not posted on the official Lawrence County sheriff pages reviewed. Arkansas FOIA permits actual copying costs in many situations, so ask the custodian for any fee before fulfillment. The sheriff may withhold or redact records when an exemption applies, such as juvenile records, sealed records, court-ordered confidentiality, protected investigation material, or safety concerns.

Commissary and Inmate Funds

The sheriff homepage links to Tiger Commissary for gifts and commissary ordering. The selected facility page identifies Lawrence County Jail in Walnut Ridge and offers Web Deposits and Order Commissary. The research did not locate a local jail fee table, kiosk rule, phone deposit vendor, refund policy, or money-order process on the sheriff pages.
