Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Benton County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service and the Bentonville Police Department who do not have their own long-term lock-up.

Deputies and Detention Officers assigned to the Inmate Work Force Division supervise inmate crews that work outside of the jail. Officers that are assigned to supervise the various work details that work throughout the county. Deputies/Detention Officers transport inmate work details each day to various work details. The Benton County Sheriff's Office utilizes inmate labor to do the following:

• Pick up trash along state and county roadways
• Help maintain the exterior of Sheriff's building
• Assisting with certain projects in the County Courthouse and Administration Building
• Clean the Benton County Sheriff's Office and Jail Facility
• Help set up and take down county events

The Inmate Work Force Division utilizes both male and female inmate labor on work details throughout Benton County. Only inmates that have nonviolent charges are allowed to work on these outside work details. These inmates are usually county sentenced or incarcerated on probation violations. The Inmate Work Force Division saves Benton County taxpayers tremendous amounts of money on an annual basis by the utilization of free inmate labor and reduced sentence time.
