Fayetteville, AR Washington County Detention Center View
Northwest Arkansas Community Correction Center is a state community correction facility in Fayetteville, Washington County, Arkansas. It is operated by the Arkansas Department of Corrections, Division of Community Correction, rather than the county sheriff. The facility generally houses adult offenders placed in a residential community correction program, including people serving court-ordered community correction sentences, probation or parole sanctions, or treatment-oriented supervision. It is not the primary local jail for newly arrested pretrial detainees; those individuals are typically processed through the Washington County detention system. The facility’s role is to provide secure custody, supervision, programming, and reentry support for eligible offenders in the regional justice system.
Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Washington County Detention Center
To find someone at the facility, use the official inmate search link available on this page. Public rosters and offender search tools typically list the person’s name, booking or admission date, current charges or sentence information, and custody status. Records may not appear right away after a person is taken into custody because intake, identification, and data entry can take several hours. If the person was recently arrested in Washington County and does not appear in the state or facility search, also check the local county detention roster, since newly arrested pretrial detainees are usually processed through the county jail first. For the most accurate information, use official search tools or contact the facility or supervising agency directly.
