Stone County, Arkansas

The Stone County Jail is operated by the Stone 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 Mountain View Police Department. Given the county's modest population, the facility handles a relatively small number of bookings compared to urban Arkansas counties.

To search for inmates currently held in the Stone 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 records are public under the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act.

About Stone County

Stone County is best known for Mountain View, its county seat, which has been designated the “Folk Music Capital of the World” by the Arkansas General Assembly. The city hosts the Ozark Folk Center State Park, the only facility in the nation dedicated to the preservation and perpetuation of Ozark folk culture, crafts, and music. Mountain View's town square features nightly impromptu folk music sessions that draw visitors from across the country. Beyond its cultural attractions, Stone County is home to Blanchard Springs Caverns, a spectacular living cave system operated by the U.S. Forest Service, and extensive portions of the Ozark National Forest. The county's economy is heavily dependent on tourism and artisan crafts, supplemented by agriculture, timber, and retirement community services. Stone County's population of roughly 12,800 swells significantly during the spring and fall tourist seasons.
