Booking, Bond, and Release in Woodruff County

Or the person is sent to the Arkansas Department of Correction after a plea or verdict. The Woodruff County mugshot stays on file for each case. A second photo is taken at state intake if the person is sent to prison, so the ADC inmate search may show a newer image.
