This is a private reference site, not a sheriff's office, jail, court, or records desk. We cannot confirm custody, release an inmate, post bond, change a roster entry, or pull an official booking record. Use the government office or locator that controls the record you need.
Where to Check First
Montgomery County Sheriff's Office and Jail
225 Fairgrounds Rd.
Mount Ida, AR 71957
Phone: 870-867-3151
Administrative hours: Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
The phone line is available 24 hours for urgent jail or sheriff's office contact.
The sheriff's contact form at montgomerycountysheriffar.org/contact.php warns that email is not monitored 24/7 and should not include confidential, sensitive, or personal information. For time-sensitive custody, bond, transport, or release questions, call the office instead of relying on a form message.
Use the list below to match the question to the correct Montgomery County, Arkansas, or federal system.
- For someone held in the county jail, start with jail inmate records and the Montgomery County Jail phone number.
- For booking photos connected to the jail process, see jail roster mugshots and verify availability with the Sheriff's Office.
- For charges filed after a booking, use court records after a jail arrest rather than the jail roster alone.
- For facility-specific basics, use the detention facility page listed in the footer.
- For a sentenced Arkansas prisoner, search the Arkansas DOC locator at inmate.ark.org.
- For federal custody, immigration custody, or victim notification, use the separate BOP, ICE, or VINELink systems.
Arkansas FOIA generally makes public records available, but exceptions can apply to open investigations, some personnel records, juvenile matters, and sealed or expunged records. The Sheriff's Office also cannot provide ACIC or NCIC criminal-history background information to the public.
