This facility is for adult inmates.

The Sebastian County Adult Detention Center is a medium-security detention center located at 801 South A St Fort Smith, AR which is operated locally by the Sebastian County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Sebastian County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service and the Fort Smith Police Department who do not have their own long-term lock-up.

The Detention Center has several active programs to assist our community and allow offenders to earn good time credit. Offenders who have been convicted of non-violent, misdemeanor charges that are also not DWI related or drug related charges may apply for work programs or alternative sentences. Options include house arrest, community service, work release and work programs inside the jail.

All programs must be coordinated through the detention center’s Office of Inmate Management.

visitation Info

Male inmates have visitation on Saturday, female inmates have visitation on Friday afternoon. Male Admin Seg Inmates are also on Friday afternoon. To make an appointment, inmates contact the visitation clerk through our in-house kiosk system. Once the visit is scheduled and verified, the inmate is responsible for contacting the visitor with the date and time. For convenience, inmates are allowed to schedule recurring visitations, so the time will remain the same each week.
