Prairie County, Arkansas

The Prairie County Jail is operated by the Prairie County Sheriff's Office and serves as the county's detention and booking facility. The jail processes arrests from the sheriff's deputies, the Des Arc Police Department, the De Valls Bluff Police Department, and the Hazen Police Department. Given the county's small population, the jail handles a limited number of bookings.

Due to its small size, Prairie County may not maintain a continuously updated online inmate roster. The most reliable method for obtaining current booking information is to contact the Prairie County Sheriff's Office directly by phone or visit one of the two courthouses. All booking records are public under the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act.

About Prairie County

Prairie County is located in the Grand Prairie region of eastern Arkansas, a flat, fertile agricultural landscape known for its rice and soybean production. The county has two county seats: Des Arc in the northern district and De Valls Bluff in the southern district. Des Arc, the larger community with roughly 1,700 residents, is situated along the White River. De Valls Bluff, with approximately 600 residents, is known for its barbecue restaurants and as a crossroads community along U.S. Highway 70. Hazen, another community in the county, sits along Interstate 40. Prairie County's economy is overwhelmingly agricultural, with the flat alluvial plain supporting some of the most productive rice farms in the state. The county's dual county seat arrangement is a historical artifact that has persisted since the county was divided into districts in the 19th century.
