The Logan County Inmate Population
The Logan County inmate population is centered on the Logan County Sheriff's Office and Detention Center in Paris. That facility is the main jail for county arrests, pretrial custody, local sentences, current inmate records, 48-hour releases, bond questions, and booking photos on public profiles. The sheriff's research also identifies Booneville City Jail as a small municipal holding facility for misdemeanor arrests inside Booneville, but no city roster or long-term jail program was located for Booneville.
The public count changes when arrests, releases, bond orders, court hearings, and state transfers occur. During research on May 29, 2026, the sheriff's current roster displayed 59 people. That is a point-in-time web roster count, not an annual average daily population report. Sentenced state prisoners from Logan County are searched in the Arkansas Department of Corrections inmate locator, not in the county jail roster after transfer.
Logan County Inmate Population Statistics
Logan County publishes a clear jail capacity and live roster count, but it does not publish annual bookings, average length of stay, or a full jail demographic table in the official sources reviewed. The most reliable local figures are the 100-bed jail capacity reported by the sheriff's detention division page and the 59-person current roster snapshot observed on May 29, 2026. Census figures add county context, but they do not describe who is in custody.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Date |
|---|---|---|
| Logan County Detention Center capacity | 100 beds | Sheriff detention division page, inspected May 2026 |
| Booking beds | 6 | Sheriff detention division page, inspected May 2026 |
| Male beds | 67 | Sheriff detention division page, inspected May 2026 |
| Female beds | 27 | Sheriff detention division page, inspected May 2026 |
| Current roster count | 59 inmates | Current roster, May 29, 2026 |
| Average daily population | Not published | Official county sources reviewed |
| Logan County population estimate | 21,633 | Census QuickFacts, July 1, 2025 estimate |
Logan County Inmate Population Trends
The strongest local trend fact is the jail building change. The sheriff's detention division page says Logan County replaced a 33-bed jail on Grober Street with the current 100-bed detention center in 2019. That is a 67-bed increase in rated local jail capacity. The sources do not say the capacity change was caused by population growth, so it should be read as a facility history point rather than a claim about crime or court policy.
Statewide corrections data gives broader context. Arkansas DOC reported an FY2024 average custody count of 16,241 and a statewide county jail backup average of 1,916. The DOC FY2025 cost report listed 16,663 average daily population and a $74.46 per-inmate cost per day. Those state figures help explain why a Logan County defendant may leave the local roster after sentencing and later appear in a state prison locator.
| Year / Date | Measure | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 100-bed jail opened | Replaced the former 33-bed Grober Street jail |
| 2020 | County population 21,131 | Census and Association of Arkansas Counties |
| FY2024 | DOC average custody count 16,241 | Arkansas DOC annual report |
| FY2024 | County jail backup average 1,916 | Statewide DOC context, not Logan-only |
| 2025 | County population estimate 21,633 | Census QuickFacts |
| May 29, 2026 | Logan current roster 59 | Point-in-time sheriff roster snapshot |
The Census QuickFacts page for Logan County supplies the community figures used above. It is useful background for population context, not a jail custody source.
County population and land-area data can help frame scale, but custody counts still need sheriff, court, DOC, or VINE sources.
Who Makes Up Logan County Inmates
The official local sources do not publish a current jail demographic summary by race, age, sex, charge level, or pretrial status. The detention division does publish bed allocation: 6 booking beds, 67 male beds, and 27 female beds. That allocation shows how the building is divided, but it is not the same as a live count of men, women, pretrial detainees, or sentenced people in custody.
- Pretrial and local sentenced custody are handled by the sheriff-operated jail when the person remains in county custody.
- Booneville city holds may start at the small Booneville facility for misdemeanor arrests, then move to county detention if transferred.
- State sentenced prisoners move to the Arkansas DOC search system after commitment and classification.
- Federal inmates may be held locally in some circumstances, but sentenced federal prisoners are searched through BOP.
Note: The roster count is a live public snapshot. It should not be treated as an annual booking count or demographic study.
Logan County Jail Capacity
The Logan County inmate population was below rated capacity during the May 29, 2026 roster inspection if the 59 roster entries matched in-house custody. That calculation is 59% of the 100-bed capacity, but it still has limits because a public roster is not a certified housing report. The sheriff does not publish a daily headcount archive, average daily population, or overcrowding table in the materials reviewed.
The jail's public capacity is specific. The 100 beds include 6 booking beds, 67 male beds, and 27 female beds. The facility also has a video visitation room off the front lobby and a bonding and release entrance at the back near the garage and sally-port area. These details matter because the Logan County inmate population is not managed through one open count. Booking, male housing, female housing, visitation, and release pickup all have separate operational paths.
Laws Governing Logan County Inmates
Arkansas law shapes what the public can see about the Logan County inmate population and what may be withheld. Booking records, jail records, and court records can be public, but exemptions may apply for undisclosed investigations, sealed records, juvenile data, and court-rule limits. Public access is not the same as a promise that every field, photo, or document will be online.
Key access rules:
Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-105 gives Arkansas citizens access to public records during regular business hours unless an exemption applies.
Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-105(b)(6) allows withholding of undisclosed law-enforcement investigation records while the exemption applies.
Ark. Code Ann. §§ 12-26-101 et seq. supports Arkansas criminal detention facility standards and review.
Ark. Code Ann. § 12-12-315(b) is tied to death notification rules for correctional facilities in Arkansas reporting materials.
The sheriff's 2024 release also says the jail is inspected annually by the Arkansas Jail Standards Review Committee and by U.S. Marshals because the jail holds some federal inmates. That statement supports oversight context without turning the county jail into a federal prison.
Logan County and State Prison
The Logan County inmate population does not stop at the county jail door. A person can begin in the Logan County Detention Center as a pretrial detainee, then leave the roster after conviction and state commitment. Once in Arkansas DOC custody, the better source is the statewide DOC locator, which can search by ADC number, county, name, facility, gender, offense category, age, and race after the disclaimer is acknowledged.
DOC Administrative Rule 804 identifies public state-prison fields that can include offender name, aliases, ADC number, photograph, physical description, date of birth, facility, offense, sentence, county of conviction, parole or transfer eligibility, detainers, and movement history where public. That is broader than the Logan County jail profile, which the inspected sample limited to booking number, age, gender, race, address, booking date, charges, bond, and mugshot.
Search Logan County Inmate Population
The official search path begins at the Logan County roster chooser. It offers Current Inmates and 48 Hour Release. Current Inmates is the route for someone believed to be in the Logan County Detention Center now. The 48-hour page is the route for a recent release, but it is not a long-term archive.
The roster chooser has an accuracy notice. It says the data is collected and maintained for convenience and that the detention center cannot certify accuracy or authenticity. That matters for bond, charge, and case-number decisions. For those details, call detention staff at 479-963-3271, ext. 1 before acting.
- Open the roster chooser and select Current Inmates or 48 Hour Release.
- Use the Search By Name field, which accepts a first or last name.
- Use the A through Z links if the name is common or the first name is uncertain.
- Sort by Name, Date, Current, or Released when reviewing a longer list.
- Open View Profile to read the booking profile, mugshot, charges, and visible bond.
- Check Search ARCourts or call the clerk for formal court charges after filing.
- Use DOC, BOP, ICE ODLS, or VINE if the person is no longer in county jail custody.
Current Logan County Inmate Lookup

| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search By Name | Text | Optional | Placeholder says "Enter first or last name." |
| A-Z letter filters | Link filters | Optional | Use when the surname initial is known. |
| Name / Date / Current / Released | Sort links | Optional | Change how the list is ordered or scoped. |
| Current Inmates | Roster choice | Optional | Opens the current custody list from the chooser. |

The roster is most useful for current jail custody. It does not replace Search ARCourts, the court clerk, or the DOC locator.
Released Logan County Inmate Records
The 48-hour release roster is official, but it is narrow. It may show no entries when no one fits the display period. A person released earlier than the 48-hour window may need to be checked through the jail phone line, a specific Arkansas FOIA request to the sheriff, court records in Search ARCourts, or the relevant district or circuit clerk.
A focused records request should identify the full name, booking number if known, booking date, arresting agency, and the exact record sought, such as a booking sheet, booking photo, release date, bond record, or incident report. The sheriff did not publish a dedicated jail-records PDF request form, so the practical routes are phone, in person, the sheriff contact page, or another custodian-provided electronic method.
What Logan County Inmate Records Show
A sample Logan County roster profile inspected on May 29, 2026 showed a booking photo and a compact set of jail fields. It did not show date of birth, height, weight, eye color, hair color, arresting agency, housing unit, court date, judge, warrant number, case number, projected release date, or a separate profile status field. Fields may change by inmate or site update, but unsupported fields should not be assumed.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Mugshot | Booking photo if available on the profile. |
| Booking # | Local booking identifier, with an observed example like 26-0371. |
| Age / Gender / Race | Limited demographic fields from the jail profile. |
| Address | City, state, or address locality shown by the profile. |
| Booking Date | Date and time entered in the roster profile. |
| Charges | Booking or arrest charge text, not the final court disposition. |
| Bond | Visible bond amount at the time of roster display. |
Note: The profile notice says charges and bail may change after court appearances and may not be current.
Logan County Jail vs State Prison
County jail and state prison records answer different questions. The Logan County jail roster is the first search for a recent arrest, local pretrial custody, a short county sentence, a 48-hour release, or a bond question. The Arkansas DOC locator is the better search after a court sentence sends the person to state custody.
| Question | County Jail | State Prison / DOC |
|---|---|---|
| Who is held | Pretrial detainees, local sentences, some federal inmates when accepted | Sentenced state prisoners after commitment |
| Run by | Logan County Sheriff's Office | Arkansas Department of Corrections |
| Where to search | Logan County roster chooser and current roster | Arkansas DOC inmate locator |
| Records shown | Booking fields, charges, bond, mugshot when available | ADC number, facility, sentence, offense, eligibility, public DOC fields |
| Main caution | Roster charges and bond can change after court | DOC results do not show current county jail detainees |
State and Federal Inmate Search
When the Logan County inmate population search does not find someone, use the custody channel that matches the person's legal status. Arkansas VINE bridges several levels because it covers county jails, Arkansas Division of Correction, probation, parole, post-release supervision, and court information from prosecutors' offices. The research says county jail data updates every 15 minutes in VINE, DOC data every hour, and court or supervision data daily.
- DOC
- The Arkansas state prison system for sentenced prisoners, searched through inmate.ark.org.
- VINE
- A custody and court notification service that can search by name, booking number, case number, ADC number, or supervision PID.
- BOP
- The Federal Bureau of Prisons locator for federal inmates from 1982 to present.
- ICE ODLS
- The immigration detainee locator, searched by A-Number or exact biographical information.
Use the Arkansas VINELink portal for notifications, the BOP inmate locator for sentenced federal custody, and ICE ODLS for immigration custody. None of those tools is a Logan County mugshot gallery.
Logan County Detention Facilities
The Logan County inmate population map has two local facilities. The Paris detention center is the primary county jail and public roster source. Booneville City Jail is a municipal short-term holding context for city misdemeanor arrests, and official Booneville materials did not publish a separate roster, booking-photo system, visitation schedule, mail policy, or capacity.
- Logan County Sheriff's Office and Detention Center - sheriff-operated county jail for current roster inmates, 48-hour releases, bond, video visitation, commissary, and local detention.
- Booneville City Jail - Booneville Police Department short-term municipal holding facility for city misdemeanor arrests before release, court, or county transfer.
Logan County Inmate Population FAQ
How large is the Logan County inmate population?
The only current county figure located was a roster snapshot. On May 29, 2026, the sheriff's current roster displayed 59 inmates. The jail's rated capacity is 100 beds. Annual bookings and average daily population were not published in the official county sources reviewed.
Where does a Logan County inmate search start?
Start with the official roster chooser. Choose Current Inmates for someone believed to be in custody now or 48 Hour Release for a recent release. If bond, charges, or case numbers matter, call detention staff because the sheriff's own profile warning says roster data can change after court.
What if the person was arrested in Booneville?
For a very recent Booneville misdemeanor arrest, call Booneville Police first. If the person has been transferred to the county jail, the Logan County roster and detention phone line become the better custody sources.
Can the Logan County jail roster show final convictions?
No. The roster shows jail booking information and visible charges or bond. Formal charges, dispositions, convictions, dismissals, and case events must be checked through Search ARCourts, court clerks, and criminal-history channels where appropriate.
Is there a Logan County sheriff mobile app?
No confirmed Logan County, Arkansas sheriff app was found in the research. The official online tools located were the sheriff web roster, sheriff contact form, crime-tip form, Search ARCourts, DOC locator, VINELink, BOP, and ICE ODLS.
