Detention Center

The Stone County Detention Center is located at the Sheriff's Office Complex at 1009 Sheriff's Drive. The Detention Facility is administered under the direction of Detention Administrator Kyle Dodson. The Administrator directs the day-to-day operations of the facility and is responsible for the safe and efficient operation of this facility.

This Detention Facility was built in 1994 and has been expanded to hold 40 inmates. These inmates are separated into four housing units, including one unit for female inmates. The facility holds both pre-trial inmates and post-conviction inmates awaiting transfer to the Arkansas Department of Corrections. In May of 2019, the facility began using the Objective Classification System to classify and separate inmates.

The Detention Facility has a full-time staff of 10 Detention Officers. Each Detention Officer is required to complete and pass a minimum of forty hours of a State-approved instruction course to become certified as a Detention Officer. Each employee also receives certified training in ACIC/NCIC terminal operations. There are also several part-time fill in Officers.

The Detention Facility has a multipurpose room used for religious services. These services are open to all inmates. The multipurpose room is also used for other inmate services, programs, medical exams, and attorney visits.

As of August 2019, the Detention Facility has started substance abuse classes. Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous meetings are held at the facility for class 1 inmates. GED and other programs are planned to begin by the end of 2019.

The Detention Facility is a non-smoking facility, and medical treatment is provided to each and every inmate with medical needs. Act 309 inmates, who are state prisoners assigned to work in local facilities, are responsible for the maintenance of the buildings and grounds of the Sheriff's Office and Detention Facility. They also do cooking and laundry at the facility.

For security reasons, the Detention Facility does not allow items to be brought in for inmates. Any items, such as clothing, personal hygiene, etc., can be purchased and sent to an inmate through the commissary system.

Here's a link to the commissary website for the facility. Money can be put into the inmate's account at the facility for purchasing commissary or phone cards. Phone Cards are available for purchase.
