Madison County, Arkansas

The Madison County Jail is operated by the Madison County Sheriff's Office and serves as the county's primary detention and booking facility. The jail processes arrests from the sheriff's deputies and the Huntsville Police Department. Given the county's rural, mountainous terrain, the sheriff's office covers a large geographic area with a relatively small population.

To search for inmates currently held in the Madison County Jail, you can contact the sheriff's office directly by phone or check for online roster availability. Booking records include photographs, charges, bond amounts, and arrest dates, all of which are public under the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act.

About Madison County

Madison County is a mountainous, heavily forested county in the Ozarks of northwestern Arkansas. Huntsville, the county seat, has a population of approximately 2,900 and serves as the primary commercial center for the county. Despite its rural character, Madison County benefits from its proximity to the rapidly growing Northwest Arkansas metropolitan area—Fayetteville is just 30 miles to the southwest. The county is known for the War Eagle Mill, a working water-powered gristmill, and the annual War Eagle Craft Fair, which draws tens of thousands of visitors each fall. The rugged terrain of the Boston Mountains and the White River headwaters define the county's landscape. Madison County's economy includes agriculture (particularly cattle and poultry), timber, and a growing number of residents who commute to jobs in the Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers area.
