Columbia County Jail Facility
The Columbia County Jail at 82 Columbia Road 300 holds pre-trial detainees and people serving short sentences. People with long state prison terms move to the Arkansas Department of Corrections after court. Both male and female inmates are housed in the jail in separate pods.
The jail gives each person three meals a day, basic medical care, and set visit hours. Arkansas Code § 12-12-1707 keeps inmate medical files closed. Mail must show the inmate's full name on the envelope. Commissary funds can be dropped off at the jail lobby or through a set online vendor.
Bond is set at a first court appearance. A judge weighs the charge, past record, ties to the area, and flight risk. Most misdemeanor bonds can be posted in cash or through a bondsman. Bondsmen charge a set fee, often 10% to 15% of the face bond. Felony bonds run higher.
Note: Call (870) 234-5331 for live help with the Columbia County Jail Roster when the ISOMS portal is slow or down.
Columbia County Jail Roster Details

To pull a past booking log, send a FOIA ask to the Sheriff's Office. Arkansas Code § 25-19-101 gives the public the right to ask for records. The Sheriff has three business days to reply. Most booking logs, arrest reports, and Jail Roster data are public. Juvenile files are closed under Arkansas Code § 9-27-309. Inmate medical files stay closed under Arkansas Code § 12-12-1707.
For people moved to state prison, search the Arkansas Department of Corrections at apps.ark.org/inmate_info. Pick Columbia County from the filter. Arkansas Code § 12-27-113(2)(A) sets what the state can share from its inmate file.
