Sheridan Detention Center Overview
Sheridan Detention Center is operated by the City of Sheridan Police Department and serves Sheridan and Grant County custody needs. Official city sources place the Police Department and detention center in the same building. The facility type should be read as a city-jail or approved local municipal detention center. It is not a state prison, and the Grant County officials page names Sheriff Pete Roberts, but the sheriff should not be described as the direct operator of the city detention building.
The official detention page says the facility houses male and female inmates for local, state, and federal agencies. That broad custody role explains why a person connected to a Grant County arrest may need more than one lookup channel. The person may be in local jail custody, may have moved into an Arkansas DOC record, may be held under a state backup-list or Act 309 style label, or may be connected to a federal or immigration system. The facility page is the local starting point.
The official Sheridan Detention Center page shows the construction history, bed count, staffing, and agency-custody scope for the local jail.
The source image is useful because the local government page, rather than a third-party jail directory, gives the facility facts.
Sheridan Detention Center Population
The City of Sheridan gives unusually specific jail history. The detention center was built in 1998 with a local 1% sales tax and opened with 36 inmate beds. It was expanded in 2000 and the city now states capacity at approximately 100 inmates. The page also lists sixteen employees and says Sheridan is one of only two Arkansas municipalities operating approved detention centers.
Those capacity figures are facility facts, not a live count. The research did not locate an official current daily population for Sheridan Detention Center. For county historical scale, Vera's 2013 Grant County row lists 83 total jail population and 96 rated capacity, with 66 pretrial and 17 sentenced. Current custody still needs direct confirmation because jail counts can change with bookings, court appearances, bond, release, state transfer, or agency hold changes.
Look Up Sheridan Detention Inmates
No official online current-inmate roster, booking report, or mugshot gallery was located for Sheridan Detention Center or Grant County in the official county and city sources reviewed. The lookup process is therefore a fallback chain. Use the detention center phone for current local custody, VINELink for custody notification where available, Search ARCourts for filed cases, Arkansas DOC for state custody, and the federal or immigration locators when those systems apply.
Use the local phone first when the question is current custody, bond, visiting, mail, or release status. A court portal may lag a new booking, and a DOC locator may not show a person who is still in pretrial local jail custody. No official Grant County Sheriff or Sheridan Police mobile app with an inmate roster or warrant lookup was located in the sources reviewed.
- Call Sheridan Detention Center at (870) 942-5512 with the person's full name and date of birth if known.
- Use Sheridan Police non-emergency at (870) 942-4642 for city-police detention building questions that are not emergencies.
- Search Search ARCourts after a court case has likely been filed.
- Use Arkansas DOC inmate search for sentenced state custody, Grant County waiting-list labels, or Sheridan City 309-In Jail labels.
- Use BOP or ICE ODLS only for federal prison or immigration detention.
Sheridan Detention Center Contact
The detention center and police department addresses are the correct local custody contact point. The courthouse is a different place and is better suited for county-government, court, clerk, and record-office business. The official Sheridan Police Department page gives the police and detention contact numbers. For current inmate status, call the detention number rather than using a general county contact form with sensitive personal data.

Who Sheridan Detention Holds
Sheridan Detention Center holds male and female inmates for local, state, and federal agencies. In local terms, that can include people arrested by Sheridan Police, the Grant County sheriff, Arkansas State Police, another local agency, or an outside agency with a hold accepted at the facility. It can also include people waiting for court action, bond review, transfer, or sentence-related movement.
A state or federal hold does not make the building a state prison or federal prison. It remains a local municipal detention center. Once a person is sentenced to state prison and moved into the Arkansas Department of Corrections system, the DOC locator becomes the better search tool. Federal pretrial or sentenced custody may involve the U.S. Marshals Service or BOP. Immigration custody uses ICE ODLS.
| Custody Question | Likely Source | What to Confirm |
|---|---|---|
| New local arrest | Sheridan Detention Center | Custody, bond status, release, and court requirement |
| Filed case | Search ARCourts or local court clerk | Charges, court dates, dispositions, and warrants |
| State sentence or transfer | Arkansas DOC | ADC number, facility label, PE/TE date, and sentence history |
| Federal or immigration custody | BOP, ICE, or U.S. Marshals | Federal location, release date, or current ICE detention status |
Sheridan Detention Visiting Rules
The official city and county pages reviewed do not publish a visitation schedule, visitor-list rule, video-visit system, dress code, locker rule, child rule, or ID policy for Sheridan Detention Center. A visit should not be planned from an unofficial jail directory. Call the detention center first and ask whether the person is eligible for visits, whether visitors must be approved, and whether the visit is in person, video, attorney, or noncontact.
Ask staff for the rules that often affect a visit: exact visit day and time, required government photo ID, visitor age rules, dress restrictions, late-arrival policy, property limits, phone or online scheduling, and whether an inmate's classification or disciplinary status blocks visits. For attorney visits, counsel should contact the detention center directly because legal visit rules may differ from family visits.
| Topic | Published Local Rule Found? | Call-First Question |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visits | No schedule located | What day, time, approval list, and ID are required? |
| Video visits | No vendor located | Is video available, and does it need an account? |
| Children | No rule located | Are minors allowed, and who must accompany them? |
| Attorney visits | No public schedule located | What procedure should counsel use? |
Sheridan Detention Mail Money
Official sources did not publish a local mail format, commissary vendor, phone provider, video provider, deposit vendor, deposit fee, refund rule, or spending limit. Do not assume a national jail vendor applies to Sheridan Detention Center unless the detention center confirms it. Sending money or mail through the wrong channel can delay the inmate's access or make the sender repeat the process.
Call (870) 942-5512 before sending funds, books, photos, letters, packages, or legal mail. Ask for the exact inmate name format, whether a booking number is required, what address line to use, whether photos or books are allowed, whether only postcards are accepted, and whether funds follow the inmate if transferred. Also confirm phone account setup and blocked-number rules.
| Service | Official Local Detail Found | What to Ask |
|---|---|---|
| No public format located | Exact address format, ID number need, restrictions, and legal-mail handling | |
| Phone calls | No provider located | Provider, rates, blocked numbers, and account setup |
| Money deposits | No vendor or fee table located | Cash, kiosk, online, phone, fee, refund, and transfer rules |
| Commissary | No order rule located | Order day, cutoff, spending limit, and prohibited items |
Sheridan Bond Sheet
The City of Sheridan publishes a Police Department bond sheet page that links an official fine and bond amount document. The document lists offense-specific amounts and notes that highlighted items require mandatory court appearance, though the text capture did not preserve the highlighting. Treat the sheet as a local reference, not as proof that payment will release a person.
Before appearing with money, call the detention center or the court. Ask whether the person is bondable, whether the hold is no-bond, whether a court appearance is mandatory, what payment types are accepted, whether a bondsman may be used, and exactly where payment should be made. District Court fines and jail bond or release questions can involve different offices.
The official Sheridan bond sheet page is the source for the local fine and bond reference.
The bond sheet helps frame release questions, but detention or court staff must confirm the current status.
Sheridan Detention Booking
The official Sheridan page does not publish a local step-by-step booking policy. A practical local path starts with arrest or warrant service, transport to a booking location when accepted, identification, property inventory, photo and fingerprints, medical and security screening, charge and case identifiers, bond or court review, and housing classification. Those are general jail-process steps, not a published Sheridan policy manual.
Because no official online roster was found, timing should not be guessed. A new booking may be known to the detention center before it appears in a court case search. A court case may be filed after the arresting agency's booking charge is reviewed. Search ARCourts is useful for filed court records, while the jail phone is the current custody source.
Sheridan Detention Directions
Sheridan Detention Center is at 304 Gatzke Drive in Sheridan. The Grant County courthouse and court offices are separate from the police and detention building. Do not route to the courthouse for a jail visit or current custody question unless staff tells you to handle a court, clerk, or fine-payment task there.
From central Sheridan or the courthouse area, use local map routing to Gatzke Drive and look for the Police Department and Detention Center building. From regional approaches into Sheridan, use the exact Gatzke Drive address instead of a generic courthouse search. Parking, public transit, and visitor entrance rules were not located in official sources, so call ahead before leaving.
Note: Confirm custody, bond status, visit eligibility, and payment location with Sheridan Detention Center before traveling.
Sheridan State Federal Distinctions
Arkansas DOC rules are separate from Sheridan Detention Center rules. DOC prison visitation, mail, money, phone, intake, custody classification, and release calculations apply after a person enters state prison custody. They should not be used as the local Sheridan jail schedule. The DOC locator remains important because it can show Grant County Waiting List, Sheridan City 309-In Jail, and Sheridan City Jail labels.
Federal and immigration systems are also distinct. No BOP facility or ICE detention facility was located in Grant County. Federal sentenced inmates are searched through BOP, federal pretrial questions may involve the U.S. Marshals Service Eastern District of Arkansas, and immigration detainees are searched through ICE ODLS. Those systems do not operate as Sheridan Detention Center mugshot galleries.
