Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Northwest Arkansas Work Release Center
To find someone held here, use the official inmate search link on this page for the facility’s roster or offender search. Inmate rosters typically list a person’s name, booking or admission date, charges or offense information, and current custody status. Because this is a work release facility, records may appear through a state corrections search rather than a county jail roster. New records do not always appear immediately after arrival or booking; processing, verification, and data entry can take several hours. If the person is not listed, check again later or contact the facility or the appropriate Washington County or Arkansas corrections office for confirmation.
