Official Saline County Jail Roster
The official starting point for Saline County inmate records is the Saline County Detention Center Inmate Roster page maintained through the sheriff's office website. That page frames the roster as a convenience record, not as a certified court or legal record. The county states that the information is collected, maintained, and provided for public convenience, while also warning that the Detention Center cannot certify the accuracy or authenticity of every entry. That disclaimer matters when a name, charge, bond amount, or release status is being used for a time-sensitive decision.
The linked roster opens the Revize-hosted Saline County portal. The accessible landing screen separates the system into two choices: Current Inmate Roster and 48 Hour Release. Current Inmate Roster is the local custody path for people believed to be at the Saline County Detention Center. The 48 Hour Release channel is the short recent-release path. If neither channel returns a match, the next step is not to assume the person is free. The person may have been transferred, booked under different identifying data, moved to Arkansas DOC after sentencing, held on a federal matter, or released outside the short roster window.
The official roster wrapper is shown on the county inmate roster source page.

Use the Saline County Roster
A useful Saline County inmate records search follows the custody path instead of jumping among unrelated databases. Start with the county roster for a person arrested locally or held at the Saline County Detention Center. Then move to the release channel, the jail phone line, records requests, state DOC, and federal locators only as each step fails or the facts point away from county custody.
- Open the official sheriff roster wrapper and read the county disclaimer before using the result as a current custody lead.
- Select Current Inmate Roster when the person may still be held at the Saline County Detention Center.
- Select 48 Hour Release when the person may have left jail within the last two days.
- Save exact spelling, booking date, charge wording, bond notes, and court labels when they are shown.
- Call the Detention Center or submit a records request if the roster is down, blocked, stale, or incomplete.
- Search Arkansas DOC, BOP, ICE, and VINELink when the facts suggest transfer, prison custody, federal custody, immigration custody, or notification needs.
No official Saline County Sheriff mobile app was confirmed in the research. Use the sheriff website, the Detention Center phone line, SCSO FOIA, Arkansas DOC, VINELink, BOP, and ICE rather than relying on an app-only roster.
Saline County Roster Fields
The public landing screen available during research confirmed the two roster channels, but deeper profile and search pages were blocked from this environment. That limit should shape expectations. The table below uses the official accessible roster inventory rather than assumed fields from a hidden inmate profile.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Current Inmate Roster | Link or tile | Not applicable | Opens the current custody roster for the Saline County Detention Center. |
| 48 Hour Release | Link or tile | Not applicable | Opens the recent-release channel for persons released within the last 48 hours. |
| Current roster search fields | Unknown | Unknown | Deeper roster pages were blocked during research, so exact public search fields were not confirmed. |
| 48-hour release search fields | Unknown | Unknown | The release channel was confirmed, but the detailed fields were not visible from the research environment. |
The roster field gap is important for Saline County inmate records. If a person cannot be found online, use the Detention Center phone number or request a booking record instead of treating the missing online entry as proof of no custody.
Saline County Booking Record Fields
Official sources did not expose a complete public inmate profile, but they did identify booking and ADR details used in the Saline County detention process. The Bryant and Saline County detention agreement describes minimum intake documentation for city arrestees delivered to the jail. SCSO FOIA materials also recognize Booking Record and jail booking reports, while listing redaction categories that may affect what is released.
| Field | What Official Sources Support |
|---|---|
| Name | ADR intake documentation includes the person's name. |
| Date of birth | ADR documentation includes DOB, but SCSO lists DOB as a redaction category in public releases. |
| Place of birth | The Bryant-Saline agreement includes place of birth in minimum intake documentation. |
| Home address | Intake material may include an address, but SCSO commonly redacts addresses and contact information. |
| Charge or offense | ADR documentation includes criminal charge information and charging offense. |
| Presiding court | The intake record may identify the court connected to the charge or bond paperwork. |
| Bond information | Bond data is part of the minimum documentation when available. |
| Court date | Court dates may appear when an inmate has provided bond. |
| Mugshot or photo | Public profile display was not confirmed; SCSO lists biometric data such as photos as a possible redaction category. |
Booking charges and court charges are not always the same. Booking language can come from the arrest or warrant stage, while prosecutor-filed charges appear later in the court case. Formal court charge tracking belongs in Search ARCourts and is separate from jail status.
Saline County Inmate Access Channels
Saline County inmate records have several official access paths. Each path answers a different question. A current roster result answers whether a person appears in local custody. A 48-hour release result helps with very recent release checks. A FOIA request can seek booking records or jail booking reports when the public roster does not show enough. State and federal locators answer whether custody moved outside the county jail.
| Need | Best Channel | Use When |
|---|---|---|
| Current county custody | Saline County roster | The person may be held at the Saline County Detention Center. |
| Recent release | 48 Hour Release | The person may have left the county jail within two days. |
| Direct status check | Detention Center at (501) 303-5642 | The roster is unavailable, unclear, or time-sensitive. |
| Booking records | SCSO FOIA | A booking record, jail booking report, or ADR is needed. |
| Sentenced state custody | Arkansas DOC inmate locator | The person may have been sentenced or transferred to DOC, including Benton Unit. |
| Federal prison | BOP inmate locator | The person is a sentenced federal prisoner. |
| Immigration custody | ICE ODLS | The person may be in ICE custody. |
| Custody notifications | Arkansas VINELink | A matching record is available and notification is needed. |
Custody distinction: Saline County Detention Center is the local jail for new arrests and local custody. Benton Unit is an Arkansas DOC state prison for sentenced prisoners, so it uses the DOC locator rather than the county roster.
Saline County Jail Records Contact
The Saline County Detention Center and sheriff's office share the same Benton address. The contact card below is the local jail path for roster questions, custody checks, and in-person records routing. Use court offices for filed court cases and city police departments for police reports created by those agencies.
Saline County Detention Center
735 S. Neeley St.
Benton, AR 72015
(501) 303-5642
Operated by the Saline County Sheriff's Office
Saline County Sheriff's Office
735 S. Neeley St.
Benton, AR 72015
(501) 303-5609
Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
SCSO's public-record request page says requests may be made by printable form, email to foiarequest@scsosheriff.org, mail to the FOIA Analyst, walk-in, phone, or fax. Requesters should identify the record type, date range, subject name, and date of birth if known. Arkansas citizenship or residency proof is required for Arkansas FOIA access.
Saline County Inmate Visitation Schedule
Visitation is relevant to Saline County inmate records because a custody record often leads to family contact, mail, money, and video visit setup. The Detention Center's official visitation page says the jail uses CityTelecoin video visitation, with no face-to-face visitation. Family and friends set up a CityTelecoin account, then the detainee's name appears on the pod monitor without a deputy notification call.
The visitation source confirms that video access is the county jail method, while Benton Unit visits are governed by Arkansas DOC rules.
| Facility | Visit Type | Schedule | Rules |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saline County Detention Center | CityTelecoin video visitation | Seven days per week, 8:00 a.m.-10:00 p.m. | Account required; no face-to-face visitation; setup questions go to (318) 746-1114. |
| Benton Unit | State prison visitation | DOC-policy governed | Use Arkansas DOC rules, not the county jail schedule. |
| Federal or ICE custody | Facility-specific | Depends on custody location | No BOP or ICE facility was identified in Saline County. |
Request Saline County Booking Records
When the Saline County jail roster does not answer the question, SCSO FOIA is the official fallback. The SCSO FOIA instructions name jail booking reports, often called ADRs, as records a requester may identify. The FOIA form also includes a Booking Record checkbox. The request should be narrow: name, date or date range, date of birth if known, record type, and whether the request seeks an arrest report, booking record, jail booking report, or other material.
FOIA response timing is not the same as instant roster access. The local FOIA page says the analyst may have up to three business days to respond, while redaction can take added time. SCSO also lists common redactions, including juvenile names, private contact data, dates of birth, medical information, fingerprints, photos, and sealed or expunged records. Printed material may have copy, envelope, and postage costs, and audio or video review can trigger an hourly charge under Arkansas law.
Saline County State and Federal Inmate Records
Saline County inmate records should not be used as a catchall for every person with a Saline County case. A person sentenced to Arkansas prison is searched through the Arkansas Department of Corrections, even when the prison is physically in Saline County. Benton Unit is an Arkansas DOC state facility in Benton with a published capacity of 325. It is not the local jail for new arrests, and the county roster is not the correct lookup tool for its prisoners.
The Arkansas DOC locator supports searches by ADC number, name, county, facility, gender, race, offense category, and age after the user accepts the disclaimer. Federal prison custody uses the BOP locator. Immigration custody uses ICE ODLS. The U.S. Marshals Eastern District of Arkansas may be relevant for federal pretrial matters, but current Saline County housing status should be verified before assuming a federal detainee is held locally.
Note: For court charges after a booking, use Search ARCourts rather than a jail roster; the court case can continue after a person is released or transferred.
