This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the agency that holds the record for those services.


Official Record Contacts

The Van Buren County Sheriff's Office is the first contact for county jail custody and booking-record questions. The county lists the office as available around the clock, while most county administrative offices operate Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and close on state and federal holidays.

For a county FOIA request, County Clerk Pam Bradford is listed at 1414 Hwy 65 S, Suite 128, Clinton, AR 72031, by phone at (501) 745-6995, and by email at vbcoclerk@artelco.com. Use the correct destination below for the kind of information needed.

  • For a county booking record or photograph, follow the request steps on the Van Buren County recent-arrests hub, then contact VBCSO.
  • For a newly processed arrest, check the official 48-hour new-inmate view and call the sheriff if the entry has not appeared.
  • For custody after release or transfer, use VINELink for participating Arkansas records and confirm the result with the responsible agency.
  • For a court disposition, contact Circuit Clerk Debbie Gray at 273 Main Street, Suite 2, Clinton, or call (501) 745-4140.
  • For a sentenced state prisoner, use the Arkansas Department of Corrections offender search rather than the county jail roster.
  • For federal or immigration custody, use the separate Bureau of Prisons or ICE locator because those records may not appear in a county system.
