About the Miller County Jail

The stark white jail stands out both in arial photographs and against the green backdrop that surrounds it as the 300-bed Miller County Jail houses all offenders arrested on either felony or misdemeanor charges throughout Miller County, both as they wait for their trial or sentence and as they serve their sentence. It stretches out across three sections that form the housing units, the lobby and visiting areas, the medical space, food services, and isolation areas as well as recreation and other spaces.

To find out if someone is being held at the Miller County Jail the staff can be contacted directly by calling 870-774-3001 or the online look up can be accessed around the clock.

While there are many programs available to support the inmate while they are incarcerated, including medical care, dental care, nutrition, education, treatment for substance abuse, and recreation time, there are also some ways that their friends and family can provide support during incarceration.

One of the ways to do so is to provide funds to their accounts online to allow for commissary purchases, or at the information desk in the lobby, accepting phone calls which can be accessed daily, or by visiting the detainee through video visitation.

The times that are available to visit will be provided after creating an account and selecting the inmate that you wish to visit as it is determined on the availability of the specific inmate.

Mail is also permitted and even softcover books can be sent directly from the publisher or retailer, with personal mail being sent to the facility directly at:
