About the Yell County Jail - Danville

The Yell County Sheriff’s Office runs the county jail at 201 East 5th Street in Danville, AR 72833, next to the sheriff’s office. The jail holds up to about 82 men and women. Most are waiting on their court cases; others are serving county sentences or are state inmates waiting for transfer to the Arkansas Division of Correction. Call the jail at (479) 495-4880, or the sheriff’s office at (479) 495-4881. Yell County has two county seats, and the sheriff also keeps an office at 106 Union Street in Dardanelle, (479) 229-4175. If someone was arrested in the Dardanelle area, call to ask where they are being held, as they may stay in the Dardanelle Sheriff Station Jail until their araignment.

Calling the jail is the most direct way to confirm custody, bond amount and the next court date. VINELink can also show whether a person is in custody and alert you when they are released. The sheriff’s website is yellcountysheriff.org. For court filings, search Search ARCourts at caseinfo.arcourts.gov/opad; Yell County is in the 15th Judicial Circuit.

A person brought to jail is booked and, under Arkansas Rule of Criminal Procedure 8.1, taken before a judge without unnecessary delay, generally within 48 hours. Article 2, Section 8 of the Arkansas Constitution says all persons are bailable before conviction except for capital offenses when the proof is evident or the presumption great. Rules 9.1 and 9.2 have judges consider release on recognizance or with conditions first, and set money bail only when no other conditions will reasonably ensure the person comes back. Arkansas Code §17-19-301 fixes a bondsman’s premium at 10% of the bond, rounded up to the nearest $5, paid in full before release, plus small nonrefundable state fees. If you might have a warrant, talk with an attorney or the sheriff’s office before turning yourself in.

Call (479) 495-4880 to confirm current visiting times, whether video visits from home are offered and what ID to bring. Send mail with the inmate’s full name and ID number to Yell County Jail, P.O. Box 99, Danville, AR 72833. Postcards are the simplest choice, and books should be paperbacks shipped from the seller. Ask the jail how to add money to an inmate’s account and set up phone calls, and when property can be picked up after release.
