The new 50-bed Lincoln County Detention Center, with 20 beds for males, 20 for females, and another 10 that can house either gender, was completed after a six year funding and construction period. It is responsible for the housing and care of males and females who are accused or convicted of committing a misdemeanor or felony in Lincoln County as they wait for their trial or as they serve their sentence, usually less than one year.
The Lincoln County Detention Center serves the Sheriff’s Department, police departments in Star City, Grady and Gould, and some waiting to be placed in a state prison, Immigration, and even other surrounding counties as needed.
The old jail held only 20 inmates, and only men. So if any women were arrested, they had to be transported to a jail as far away as 250 miles in come cases.
The new jail has a covered sallyport, a full service kitchen for prepping meals on site, and about 70 security cameras inside and out.
If you have questions regarding an inmate or the programs and services provided, the staff can be reached at 870-628-4271, and an online listing of all the detainees is published for your own investigation.
Upon intake, the booking process is completed, which includes a medical screening, fingerprinting and mugshots, DNA sample, along with an assessment to determine security needs, medical needs, mental health requirements, and housing assignment.
Staff is available to transport all inmates to court dates and any medical appointments or emergency needs, as well as inspecting all mail for contraband, receiving commissary funds and other money for inmates, maintaining the safety of the community and the security of the facility, and other tasks.
The Lincoln County Detention Center also provides several other services to inmates including basic needs in meals, laundry, and hygiene items, and programs including AA, counseling, religious programs, education, recreation, and opportunities to grow social and life skills.
Along with the efforts made by the staff, reduced recidivism is seen when inmates are able to stay in contact and supported by their family or friends who are not incarcerated so mail, phones, and visits are provided.
Visits are in person, and are via video and an account is created online to book and complete visits, allowing both visitors and inmates to schedule a visit.
Phone accounts are also registered online, and allow for inmates to make outgoing calls during the daytime and evening hours when they are not participating in a task or program.

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Lincoln County Detention Center?

Make the Money Order out to the inmate's name and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order.
Call Lincoln County Detention Center at 870-628-4271 to confirm the address to send the money order to and how they want it made out.
