Sheriff David Norwood's department operates the Ouachita County Detention Center. The research for this site did not locate a dedicated sheriff public-records request form or published records-office hours. For jail records not visible through the roster, Arkansas FOIA, Ark. Code ยง 25-19-105, allows public-records requests to be made to the custodian in person, by phone, mail, fax, email, or other electronic means the custodian provides.
Choose the route that matches the record or custody system involved:
- For a person believed to be in the Ouachita County jail now, start with jail inmate records and the detention center line at 870-231-5300 x2.
- For booking photos tied to the county roster, use jail roster mugshots and ask the sheriff's records custodian if the photo is not publicly listed.
- For charges, filings, hearings, or dispositions after booking, use court records after a jail arrest, Search ARCourts, and the circuit or district court that has the case.
- For facility-specific questions, use the Ouachita County Detention Center page and the Goodgame Street detention phone extensions.
- For a sentenced Arkansas prisoner, search the Arkansas Department of Corrections / Arkansas Division of Correction inmate population locator instead of the county jail roster.
- For custody outside the state prison and county jail systems, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator or the ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
- For notification about custody changes, check Arkansas VINE or VINELink when the person or case is eligible for notification service.
