Search Phillips County Detention Center Inmates

Phillips County Detention Center Overview

Phillips County Sheriff's Office detention information identifies Phillips County Detention Center as a male county detention facility in Helena. The sheriff's detention page says Jail Administrator Jeffrey Heagwood is fully in charge, the facility houses county arrests, Helena-West Helena city arrests, state inmates, and federal inmates, and it is held to Arkansas Jail Standards in good standing. That mix makes the facility more than a simple pretrial jail. It is also a local place where state and federal custody can intersect with Phillips County arrests.

The official detention page appears in the manifest capture from phillipscountysheriffar.org/detention-facility.

The page confirms the key facility role: county jail operations, state and federal holds, and the sheriff's local jail administration all meet at the same detention center.

The sheriff site uses 1804 Martin Luther King Drive, Helena, Arkansas 72342 for public sheriff and jail contact. The Arkansas Department of Corrections facilities list also uses 1806 Martin Luther King Jr Drive, Helena, AR 72342 for Phillips County Detention Center. Treat the 1804 address as the local visitor and sheriff contact address, and treat the 1806 DOC listing as state-placement context on the same Justice Complex campus or adjacent numbering.

Phillips Detention Center Capacity

The sheriff's detention and administration pages describe Phillips County Detention Center as a 100 male facility or 100-bed male facility. Arkansas DOC population reports use a different reporting context, listing Phillips County Detention Center with an 80-bed capacity for DOC-counted male lines tied to state or community-correction reporting. Those figures should not be merged as if they describe the same measurement. The local jail description is the sheriff's 100 male facility statement, while the DOC number belongs to state reporting lines.

Who Phillips County Detention Holds

The sheriff lists four prisoner groups at Phillips County Detention Center: Phillips County arrests, Helena-West Helena city arrests, state inmates, and federal inmates. The current roster also showed hold-for-other-agency entries in the research pass. A person may therefore be present because of a local criminal case, city arrest, state placement, parole-violator or community-correction matter, federal custody, or another agency hold. This is the key local fact for lookup work because one roster does not explain every custody authority behind the person.

Look Up Phillips Detention Inmates

For a newly booked or locally held person, start with the official Phillips County roster gateway and current roster. The roster is free and does not require login, but it has no keyword search box. It is browsed by current or released status, date order, name order, A-Z filters, pagination, and profile links. The gateway also has a 48 Hour Release channel for people recently released from Phillips County Detention Center.

1. Open the sheriff's roster gateway and choose Current Inmates for people now listed.
2. Use date sorting for recent bookings or choose Name and an A-Z letter filter when only a last name is known.
3. Open View Profile for booking number, booking date, age, gender, race, address city or state, charges, and bond notes where shown.
4. Check the 48 Hour Release roster if the person is not on the current list.
5. Use the Arkansas DOC inmate search for state custody, PCDC facility placement, or sentenced transfers.
6. Use the BOP inmate locator for BOP custody and ICE ODLS for immigration detention when those systems fit the case.

The Arkansas DOC inmate search form is relevant because PCDC appears in DOC context. A successful manifest image from apps.ark.org/inmate_info/search.php shows the state search fields.

Use County = Phillips or Facility = Phillips County Detention Center when a person may be in state or DOC-counted custody rather than an ordinary county roster entry.

Phillips Detention Center Contact

The public sheriff and detention contact block repeats the same address and phone across the sheriff homepage, roster pages, contact page, detention page, administration page, and court-information page. Call before traveling for records, bond, mail, or visitation issues because lobby access, visitor entrance, and records handling can change. The sheriff contact form warns that e-mail is not monitored around the clock and should not be used for urgent or sensitive information.

Phillips Jail Staff Roles

The sheriff administration page names Sheriff Neal Byrd as head of the Phillips County Sheriff's Office. It names Jail Administrator Jeffrey Heagwood as responsible for all Phillips County inmates and Jail Commander Rachael Gamble as responsible for daily jail operations and employees. Transport officers Deputy Leon Parker and Exell Evans handle inmate transport to court and appointments. These roles matter because custody status, court transport, and jail operations can involve different staff functions even when the public uses one main phone line.

The manifest capture from the sheriff administration page shows the official staff list and detention-center role descriptions.

The staff page supports the local distinction between jail administration, daily command, records work, and court transport.

Phillips Detention Video Visitation

A Phillips-specific in-person visitation schedule was not published on the sheriff site in the research set. The strongest official source is Arkansas DOC online services and visitation material because it includes a dedicated Phillips County Detention Center video visitation path through ICSolutions. Visitors must be on the inmate's approved phone and visitor list, appointments must be scheduled at least 48 hours before the start time, and visits are monitored. Officers can terminate an active visit at any time.

Note: Call 870-338-5555 before a visit to confirm the current entrance, approval status, dress rules, and any local changes.

Phillips Jail Money and Mail

Arkansas DOC Online Services links Phillips County Detention Center Deposit Services through Tiger Online, which allows remote deposits for a PCDC inmate account. State DOC trust and phone deposits can use different providers such as CorrectPay or Access Corrections for ADC accounts, so do not assume the same vendor applies to every person held at or associated with PCDC. Confirm custody type before sending funds, especially if the person has moved into ADC custody or is held for another authority.

Mail rules are a documented gap. Ask the detention center for the current inmate mail format, photo and card rules, package limits, and whether mail must include a booking number before sending anything.

Phillips Detention Booking and Bond

Booking at Phillips County Detention Center can follow an arrest by a county deputy, city officer, state agency, or federal authority. The public roster uses booking numbers in a YY-#### style and can show booking date, charges, bond where shown, and profile links. The inspected roster profile did not show housing unit, statute numbers, case number, warrant number, arresting agency, or court date. That makes the roster a custody starting point, not a complete court record.

Bond information deserves a phone check. Phillips County roster profile text warns that charges and bail amounts may change after court appearances and may not be current. Bond companies and anyone trying to post bail should contact detention center staff at 870-338-5555 for the correct bail amount, charges, and case numbers. A hold for another agency, parole issue, or federal matter may keep a person in custody even when a local bond appears on a roster card.

Phillips Detention Court Transport

Phillips County jail operations connect directly to court schedules. The sheriff administration page names transport officers who take inmates to court and other appointments. The sheriff court-information page lists misdemeanor traffic court Tuesday at 9:00 a.m., misdemeanor criminal court Thursday at 1:30 p.m., plea and arraignment Tuesday at 9:00 a.m., civil and small claims on first and third Wednesdays, and no court on holidays. Those published times help explain why booking charges and bond can shift after a court appearance.

For filed cases, Search ARCourts is the court-record channel. For custody status, use the jail roster or call the jail. For district court schedule questions, the sheriff court page lists the District Court Clerk Office at 870-714-7450, while Phillips County Circuit Clerk records are handled at 620 Cherry Street, Helena, phone 870-338-5515.

When Phillips Inmates Move

The sheriff inmate-information page says Phillips County detainees can be housed outside the county and points to other county or ADC lookup paths. That local warning is important. A person missing from the current roster may have been released, moved to the 48 Hour Release channel, transferred to another county facility, placed in ADC custody, held under a federal route, or connected to another agency hold. VINELink and Arkansas VINE can help with custody notifications when the record supports that channel.

DOC

Arkansas Department of Corrections, the state custody system for sentenced or state-placed persons.

Hold for other agency

A roster phrase showing another authority may control release or transfer.

A custody and housing decision used in correctional systems after intake or state placement.

VINE

A victim and public notification service for custody or case-status changes.

Phillips Detention Standards

The sheriff's detention page says Phillips County Detention Center is held to Arkansas Jail Standards and is in good standing. Local program detail was not published in the sheriff research. The strongest documented facility facts are its male-custody role, mixed county/city/state/federal population, named jail administration, DOC-linked video visitation and deposits, transport-to-court functions, and the Arkansas Jail Standards statement. Do not infer medical, grievance, program, or in-person visitation procedures that were not published.
