Pulaski County Jail Inmate Roster: Find the Right Custody Record Before You Act
For someone believed to be in Pulaski County custody in Little Rock, start with the official Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office inmate roster. Then use the detention facility, Arkansas court system, Arkansas VINE or Arkansas Division of Correction according to what you need next.
The jail roster answers a current-custody question. It does not replace the court docket, establish guilt, guarantee release after bond or prove that a person has already transferred to state prison.

Fast Answer: Start With the Official PCSO Inmate Roster
The official Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office detention section links directly to the county’s public Zuercher inmate roster. Use that roster first when you need to know whether someone is currently housed through the Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility.
If the arrest is very recent or the roster result is unclear, call 501-340-7001; PCSO lists intake as option 3. Use Search ARCourts separately for court charges, filings, future events and dispositions.

Which Pulaski County Source Should You Use?
This helper does not search a Sheriff, jail, court, ADC, VINE or federal database itself. It only points you to the source that matches the question.

The appropriate official source will appear here.
How to Search the Pulaski County Jail Inmate Roster
- Confirm Pulaski County, Arkansas. Pulaski County is a common county name. This guide is for Little Rock, Arkansas.
- Open the official PCSO roster. Use the inmate roster linked from the Sheriff’s detention pages rather than a commercial mugshot or scraped roster.
- Search by the legal name first. Check first, middle and last names, suffixes and spelling variations where the portal supports them.
- Match stronger identifiers. Save the SO number, inmate ID, booking/book-in number, booking date, housing or court information when shown.
- Read every charge, bond and hold. One visible bond does not prove there are no other cases, warrants, federal holds or release barriers.
- Check the court record separately. Use Search ARCourts after a public case appears in the Arkansas court system.
- Verify again before acting. Call PCRDF before paying bond, mailing funds, travelling for a visit or relying on a release or transfer status.
SO Number, Inmate ID, Book-In Number and Court Case Number
| Identifier | What it is useful for | Do not confuse it with |
|---|---|---|
| SO number | PCSO jail identification and facility follow-up. | A court case number or ADC number. |
| Inmate ID | Mail and other facility processes when PCSO asks for the inmate ID. | A final criminal-history identifier. |
| Book-in / booking number | Identifies a specific jail intake or booking event. | A permanent state-prison number. |
| Court case number | Search ARCourts, filings, court events and disposition research. | The person’s jail booking number. |
| ADC number | Arkansas Division of Correction inmate search after state placement. | A Pulaski County jail SO or book-in number. |
What to Do if Someone Is Not on the Pulaski County Roster
Intake May Still Be Underway
PCRDF intake must establish legal authority for custody and complete identity, property, medical, mental-health, fingerprinting and classification steps.
Try the Legal Name
Recheck spelling, suffixes, hyphenated surnames and other name variations instead of assuming a blank first attempt proves release.
Release or Transfer
The person may have gone to court, another jail, ADC custody, federal custody or another agency.
Call PCRDF
Call 501-340-7001. PCSO lists intake as option 3 and visitation as option 1.
No-Result Checklist
- Confirm the arrest involved Pulaski County, Arkansas.
- Recheck the legal name and spelling.
- Allow for recent intake processing.
- Call PCRDF for a time-sensitive custody question.
- Search Arkansas court records for a related case.
- Check Arkansas Division of Correction after a state-prison transfer.
- Use BOP if the matter is federal.
- Use Arkansas VINE for supported custody information and notifications.

Commissary, PIN Debit Phone Funds and iCare
PCSO separates inmate commissary money, telephone funds, approved care-package purchases and bond. Putting money in one system does not pay another obligation.
| Method | Current PCSO guidance | What to prepare |
|---|---|---|
| Lobby kiosk | Cash or credit cards can be used to place money on an inmate account. | Confirm current custody and inmate identifying information. |
| Money order | PCSO accepts inmate money orders Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–3:30 p.m. | Inmate name, book-in number, SO number, unit and date on the required slip. |
| PIN Debit | PCSO currently links to CSG Pay for inmate PIN Debit phone funding. | Correct inmate/account details and current custody confirmation. |
| Commissary account | PCSO currently links its commissary deposit service and states that Aramark provides commissary services. | Correct inmate identity and service selection. |
| iCare | PCSO’s detention page links to iCare for approved purchases. | Verify eligibility and the correct inmate before checkout. |
Money Checklist
- Confirm that the person is still in PCRDF custody.
- Save the book-in number and SO number.
- Use only a provider linked from the current PCSO page.
- Read the fee before submitting payment.
- Keep receipts or confirmation numbers.
- Do not assume commissary or phone money posts bond.
Open Official Commissary Page ↗
Pulaski County Jail Mail Address and Publication Rules
PCSO’s current commissary page publishes a separate Conway mail-processing address for ordinary inmate mail. Do not address personal mail to the physical Roosevelt Road jail merely because that is where the person is housed.
Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility Inmate ID, Inmate Name 500 Amity Road, Ste. 5B, PMB53 Conway, AR 72032Items the PCSO Visitation Page Says Are Not Accepted
- Checks or cash
- Pictures or photocopies of pictures
- Construction paper
- Glue, tape or glitter
- Fragrance on or inside the envelope
- Stickers or re-address labels
- Ribbon or metal
- Magic marker or crayons
- Mail-in envelopes, stamps or writing paper
Books, Newspapers and Magazines: Current PCSO Pages Conflict
Both current PCSO pages agree that soft-bound standard-size Bibles are the principal exception described publicly, with “Bible” marked on the package/address area as instructed.
Pulaski County Jail Visitation: Confirm Before Travel
PCSO’s current visitation page contains contradictory operational wording. At the top, it still says in-person visitation is suspended because of COVID-19. On the same page, it then says PCRDF offers both in-person and video visitation and publishes detailed in-person scheduling rules.
In-Person Rules Still Published by PCSO
| Rule | Published PCSO guidance |
|---|---|
| Advance scheduling | Schedule at least 24 hours in advance. |
| Published hours | 9:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m.; most visits start on the hour, with a 4:30 p.m. exception. |
| Frequency | One 30-minute social visit per week. |
| Visitor count | No more than three visitors during the 30-minute visit. |
| A–M surnames | Monday or Saturday. |
| N–Z surnames | Tuesday or Sunday. |
| A, B and W housing units | Wednesday or Thursday. |
| Late arrival | Ten minutes or more late can result in cancellation and rescheduling. |
Visitor Security Rules
- Photo identification is required for adult visitors.
- Children under 18 must remain accompanied by an adult.
- Visitors generally must clear the metal detector.
- Personal property must be secured in lobby lockers.
- Phones, money, food, keys, notebooks and similar items are not taken into the visit area.
- Contraband, false identification, disruptive conduct or appearing under the influence can result in denial or suspension.
Special and Professional Visits
PCSO publishes separate rules for attorneys, law enforcement, private investigators, clergy and approved program volunteers. Special visits may also be considered for circumstances such as serious illness or death in the family or when a visitor has travelled more than 100 miles one way.
PCSO currently links JailATM from the visitation page for online video-visitation account creation.
Medical Care, Mental Health and Property
PCSO currently identifies TurnKey as the PCRDF medical provider. The Sheriff’s detention page describes medical and mental-health screening at booking, prescription-medication delivery, daily sick call, mental-health services, dental and physician services, psychiatric care, outside appointments and 24/7 nursing coverage.
Give Specific Information
For an urgent health concern, provide the inmate’s correct legal name and identifier if known, medication details, pharmacy or prescriber information, allergies and the specific medical or mental-health risk.
Do not arrive with medication and assume staff can accept it without screening and approval.
Property May Be Held Elsewhere
Property may be held by PCRDF, the arresting agency or as evidence. A release or ADC transfer can also change the property process.
Call before travelling for property pickup.
Pulaski County Jail Records and Freedom of Information Requests
PCSO’s detention records staff maintain inmate files and process incarceration reports, expungement/sealing notices and qualifying Freedom of Information requests. A current inmate roster search and a records request are different processes.
Use the Inmate Roster
Use the roster when you need to know whether a person appears in current PCRDF custody.
Use the PCSO FOI Route
Use PCSO’s Freedom of Information request portal for qualifying detention or Sheriff records rather than treating an old screenshot as an official historical record.
Arkansas VINE Custody and Court Notifications
Arkansas VINE is a free information and notification service provided through the Arkansas Crime Information Center system. It monitors county jails, Arkansas Division of Correction custody, community supervision and certain court information.
Frequent Updates
Arkansas DOC’s current VINE page says county-jail data transfers every 15 minutes, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Useful Identifiers
VINE can use information such as name, offender or booking number, case number, ADC number or supervision PID number.
Notification Events
Supported events include release, bond release, court-order release, transfer, escape and certain upcoming court events.
When to Use Arkansas Division of Correction Instead
PCRDF is a county detention facility. Arkansas Division of Correction is the state-prison system. Do not search ADC for every recent Little Rock or Pulaski County arrest.
County Jail Custody
- Recent Pulaski County arrest
- Pretrial detention
- County-jail booking
- Local warrants or holds
- PCRDF visitation, mail or commissary
Arkansas State Custody
- State-prison placement
- ADC inmate number
- ADC facility information
- State sentence after transfer
- ADC-specific mail, money and visitation

What if the Case Is Federal?
Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility coordinates with federal courts as well as state and local courts. A person can therefore be physically housed in PCRDF while the underlying matter is federal.
For a sentenced federal prisoner or someone in BOP custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator. For a federal pretrial defendant, also consider U.S. Marshals custody and the federal court docket.
Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility Map
The dedicated PCSO detention page identifies PCRDF at 3201 W. Roosevelt Road, Little Rock, Arkansas 72204. The ordinary inmate mail address is different and currently routes through Conway.

- Confirm current PCRDF custody. Do not rely on an old mugshot or cached roster result.
- Save the SO and book-in identifiers. These make follow-up less error-prone.
- Check every bond and hold. One payable amount does not prove immediate release.
- Use Search ARCourts separately. Jail charges are not the final court disposition.
- Use the Conway address for ordinary inmate mail. Do not confuse physical location with mail processing.
- Confirm publication rules first. PCSO’s current mail-related pages contain conflicting wording.
- Call visitation before travel. The current official page contains conflicting in-person availability statements.
- Use only PCSO-linked payment services. Commissary, phone funding, gifts and bond are different systems.
- Switch to ADC only after state custody applies.

Can I mail books, magazines or newspapers to a Pulaski County inmate?
PCSO’s current pages conflict. The commissary page says magazines, newspapers and ordinary publisher books are no longer accepted, while the visitation page still contains older publisher-subscription wording. Confirm the current rule with PCRDF before sending any publication. Soft-bound Bibles remain the publicly described exception.
How do I put money on a Pulaski County inmate account?
PCSO currently allows lobby-kiosk deposits and weekday money-order delivery and links online services for PIN Debit and commissary funding. Confirm the inmate’s current custody and correct identifiers before depositing funds.
Is in-person visitation currently available?

Where can I check Pulaski County criminal court cases?
Use Arkansas Judiciary’s Search ARCourts portal for available public case information. For certified records or case-specific help, contact the court where the case is filed or the Pulaski County Circuit Clerk.

Recheck the legal name, allow for recent booking processing, call PCRDF for a time-sensitive check, search Arkansas court records, and use ADC or federal systems only when transfer or another custody level is genuinely possible.
When should I use Arkansas Division of Correction instead of the Pulaski County roster?
Use ADC after a person enters Arkansas state correctional custody. A person still waiting in a county jail for ADC transfer may not yet appear in the ADC inmate search.
