Drew County Detention Center Overview
The Drew County Detention Center, also called the Drew County Jail and Detention Center in official material, is operated by the Drew County Sheriff's Office. The official jail page says all arrested persons taken into custody are transported to the facility for booking and incarceration. It serves Monticello and the rest of Drew County as the local custody point.
The sheriff's page says the jail is under Jail Administrator Courtney Hale. It also states that the facility has separate housing areas for male and female inmates, isolation cells, and temporary holding cells. Official sources did not publish a rated bed count, construction history, pod names, or expansion history, so those figures should not be guessed from commercial jail directories.
Drew County Detention Center Population
The facility population includes three main groups: pre-trial detainees, post-conviction inmates serving county-level sentences, and people awaiting transport to the Arkansas Department of Corrections. This is why the correct lookup source depends on custody stage. A person may appear in the county feed while still at the jail, then move to the DOC locator after state transfer.
Note: "N/P" means no official published capacity was located in the sheriff, county, or state sources reviewed for this build.
Because the feed response is capped, it should not be used to calculate occupancy or crowding.
Look Up Drew County Detention Center Inmates
Current local custody is searched through the Drew County sheriff roster route or the official OCV Inmates Feed. The feed is county-specific. It showed booking dates, demographics, inmate IDs, charge descriptions, and mugshot image URLs in inspected entries.
- Open the sheriff roster or OCV Inmates Feed.
- Search by the inmate's name, or scan newest entries after a recent arrest.
- Compare booking date, demographics, inmate ID, and charge description before relying on a match.
- Call the jail if the record is missing, broad, or tied to another agency hold.
- Search Arkansas DOC if the person may have been sentenced and transferred.
The official Drew County Sheriff app is also relevant to this facility because the roster is part of the OCV app ecosystem. The app/share route can help users reach the same Inmates Feed, Jail, Visiting Hours, Commissary, Staff Directory, and Jail Administrator contact features from a phone. Use Arkansas VINE for notification when the goal is custody-change alerts rather than a static roster lookup.
Drew County Detention Center Contact
The sheriff and county public-safety pages use the South Main Street address for the Sheriff's Office and Detention Center. The official visiting page directs jail questions to the detention-facility phone line. Administrative records questions may use the sheriff main line, email, fax, or in-person office route during weekday office hours.

Drew County Detention Center Visits
The official Drew County visiting-hours page states that visitation is available by kiosk on Wednesdays and Sundays. It does not publish a visitor ID checklist, dress code, child-visitor policy, remote-video vendor, appointment link, visit length, or holiday schedule. Those details can change for jail security, staffing, court transport, or lockdown reasons.

|---|---|---|
| Wednesday | 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. | Kiosk visitation |
| Sunday | 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. | Kiosk visitation |
Drew County Detention Center Mail
Official Drew County mail rules were not located. The sheriff pages did not publish an inmate mail format, inmate-ID envelope rule, legal-mail procedure, book rule, package rule, photo rule, or scanned-mail vendor. Call the jail before sending personal mail, legal mail, books, photos, or packages.
| Service | Published Drew County Detail | Practical Route |
|---|---|---|
| Mail address format | Not published | Confirm with jail before mailing. |
| Phone/video vendor | Not published | Ask the jail for current setup. |
| Commissary vendor | Not published | Sheriff commissary page says check back. |
| Deposit fees | Not published | Ask before paying or sending funds. |
Booking at Drew County Detention Center
Booking creates the jail record after arrest. According to the sheriff jail page, arrested persons taken into custody are transported to the Detention Center for booking and incarceration. Public feed entries can then show a booking date, name, demographic details, inmate ID, charge descriptions, and mugshot images. The feed did not show bond amounts or housing units in inspected entries.
Some booking descriptions need follow-up. WARRANT may refer to an existing case or another court. FAIL TO APPEAR points to a missed court date but not always the underlying charge. HOLD FOR OTHER AGENCY means another agency may affect release, and the jail should be asked which agency placed the hold.
Drew County Jail Staff Training
The official jail page gives more staff detail than many county sites. It says jail staff must complete at least forty hours of state-approved training to become certified jailers. It also states staff receive certified training in ACIC/NCIC terminal operations, radio dispatch procedures, and BAC Datamaster breathalyzer operations and procedures.
The same page says many jailers are certified reserve deputy sheriffs and all jail supervisors are fully certified law-enforcement officers. No official page located for this build published a separate inmate-program list, grievance process, work-release page, GED program, substance-abuse program, or reentry class for the Drew County Detention Center.
Drew County Detention Center Bond
The public feed did not show bond fields, and the sheriff site did not publish a bond payment page, bond desk number, payment method list, or bonding-company list. Call the jail question line or sheriff main line to ask whether bond has been set, whether any hold blocks release, and which payment methods are accepted. For court filing or case status, use Search ARCourts or the Drew County Circuit Clerk.
Bond questions should be kept separate from commissary and money-deposit questions. Commissary funds, if available, do not post bond unless the jail or court says so. A warrant, no-bond order, DOC transport status, or other-agency detainer can keep a person in custody after a local payment issue is resolved.
Note: Do not send money or travel for release until the jail confirms custody, bond, and hold status.
Drew County Detention Center Directions
Use 210 S Main St, Monticello, AR 71655 for navigation. The facility is in central Monticello near the Drew County courthouse address block. Official sources did not publish a dedicated visitor lot, parking rates, public-transit stop, ADA entrance, or visitor-intake entrance. Call first if parking, accessibility, or visitor-entry details matter for the trip.
The official Drew County jail page is the facility source for booking and housing descriptions.
The page supports the facility's official role as the county booking and incarceration point.
The official visiting-hours page gives the kiosk visitation windows and jail question phone number.
Because the visiting page is brief, phone confirmation is still needed before travel.
