The Calhoun County Sheriff's Office runs a small jail that handles arrests from the sheriff's deputies and the Hampton Police Department. Booking volume is low compared to the state's urban centers, but every booking generates the same public records—photographs, charges, and bond amounts—available under the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act.

Because of its size, Calhoun County may not publish an online inmate roster. Calling or visiting the sheriff's office in Hampton is typically the fastest way to get current booking information.

About Calhoun County

Established in 1850, Calhoun County covers roughly 630 square miles of rolling timberland and farmland. Hampton, the county seat, has a population of about 1,200. The local economy runs on timber, agriculture, and oil—Calhoun County sits squarely within the South Arkansas oil belt, where petroleum extraction has been part of daily life since the early 1900s. Despite its small footprint, the county maintains a full sheriff's office and detention facility.
