Find Jail Mugshots in Nevada County
Nevada County jail mugshots are held by the sheriff's office in Prescott, Arkansas. The jail sits at 209 East 3rd Street South and books all adult arrests in the county. The booking photo goes into the sheriff's file and stays on the record. Nevada County does not post a live roster on its own page, so most searches run through VINELink, CourtConnect, and a FOIA note to the sheriff. Use this page to find the jail phone, the sheriff address, the FOIA path, and the state tools that help fill the gap for a Nevada County jail mugshots search.
Nevada County Jail Mugshots Overview
Nevada County Sheriff and Jail Mugshots
The Nevada County Sheriff's Office holds every booking photo taken in the county. Article 7 of the Arkansas Constitution of 1874 names the sheriff as chief law officer and jail keeper. That rule is the legal base for why the Nevada County jail mugshots sit in the sheriff's file and not with the city or the state.
The jail phone is (870) 887-1111. The sheriff's office direct line is 870-887-2616. The address is 209 East 3rd Street South, Prescott, AR 71857. The Arkansas Sheriffs' Association profile for Nevada County is a clean source for contact info. A screen view of the ASA page sits below.
The ASA page at arsheriffs.org/sheriffs/nevada-county-sheriff confirms that mugshots are on file. Use it to check the sheriff name, the jail address, and the direct line. Nevada County was formed in 1871 and has kept Prescott as the county seat from the start.
Nevada County Jail in Prescott
The Nevada County Jail is a small rural lockup. Deputies book all adult arrests made in the county here. The Prescott Police and the Rosston Police feed some cases into the same jail. The Arkansas State Police booking on county roads also ends here.
The intake team takes the mugshot, runs the prints, and logs the charges. A judge sets the bond. The jail holds pre-trial inmates and those doing short sentences. Longer state sentences go to the Arkansas Department of Correction after the court rules.
Note: Nevada County jail mugshots are on file with the sheriff in Prescott, but the county does not run an online roster, so a FOIA note or a phone call is the direct path.
