Booking, Bond, and Release in Yell County

When a city officer or a deputy brings a person in, intake staff runs prints, takes the mugshot, and logs the charges. A judge sets the bond. Cash bonds can be posted at the jail. Surety bonds run through a licensed bail bond agent in Dardanelle or Danville.

Release happens in three ways. The person posts bond. The person is released on their own recognizance by a judge. Or the person is sent to the Arkansas Department of Correction after a plea or verdict. The Yell 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.
