Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Pulaski County Juvenile Detention Center
To find someone held at the facility, use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility roster. Jail rosters typically show a person’s name, booking date, listed charges, and custody status, but juvenile records may be limited or not publicly displayed because Arkansas law protects many youth records. New bookings are not always searchable right away. Processing, identification, court entry, and system updates can take several hours, so a record may not appear immediately after arrival. If the person is a juvenile and no public listing appears, contact the facility or the juvenile court for guidance on what information can be released.
FAQs
How do I visit an inmate at Pulaski County Juvenile Detention Center?
Visits are usually scheduled in advance and may be limited to parents, legal guardians, attorneys, or other approved visitors. Contact the facility before going to confirm visiting hours, approval rules, and whether in-person or video visits are available.
What do I need to bring when visiting Pulaski County Juvenile Detention Center?
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID and any paperwork showing your relationship to the youth if requested. Leave phones, bags, weapons, and other restricted items outside or secured as directed by staff.
How do I make phone or video calls with an inmate?
Youth are usually allowed to make approved outgoing calls under facility rules. Video calling, if available, may require an account with the facility’s approved service provider and must follow scheduled times and conduct rules.
How do I send mail to an inmate?
Use the facility’s approved mailing format and include the youth’s full name and any assigned ID number if available. Mail is normally inspected for safety, and items such as cash, stamps, stickers, or prohibited materials may be rejected.
How does the commissary work?
Commissary access at juvenile facilities may be limited and depends on facility policy. If available, funds are usually placed on the youth’s account through an approved payment method and can be used for permitted items.
How is bail set and how do I post bond at Pulaski County Juvenile Detention Center?
Juvenile cases often use detention or release hearings rather than the same bond process used in adult court. The judge decides release conditions, and families should contact the juvenile court or facility staff for instructions if a bond or release order is issued.
What happens during the intake process at Pulaski County Juvenile Detention Center and when will the inmate appear in the system?
During intake, staff confirm identity, record case information, check health and safety needs, inventory property, and assign housing. System updates can take several hours, and juvenile information may not appear publicly because many records are confidential.
