Detention Center

The Marion County Detention Center is located at the Marion County Sheriff's Department, at 221 Randolph Road, in Yellville, Arkansas. The Detention Facility is in operation 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days per year and is under the direction of a Lieutenant who is the Jail Administrator.

Detention Center

All persons who are arrested and taken into custody are transported to the Detention Center for booking and incarceration. The jail houses both pre-trial detainees and post-conviction inmates who are serving sentences or awaiting transport to the Arkansas Department of Corrections. Inmates are segregated from one another based on gender, previous convictions, and other safety considerations. The Detention Center addresses medical issues and all meals have been created and approved by a qualified dietitian. All detention officers are responsible for the safety and security of the inmates and jail; and are required to complete an Arkansas Jail Standards training program.
