How to Visit Cross County Jail, AR (AR)
Visiting someone at Cross County Jail is straightforward once you know who to call. Here are the two things you can count on, plus what to verify before you go.
Start by calling the Cross County Sheriff's Office at 870-238-5700. The line is listed as 24 hours, so you can call anytime to confirm current visitation rules and whether visits are running as scheduled.
Detention Center staff complete at least 56 hours of state-approved training before becoming certified jailers. What this means for you: expect staff to follow set procedures, and feel free to ask clear, practical questions about what they need from you.
Steps to Follow
- ✓ Call 870-238-5700 before you leave home to confirm the current visitation schedule, any limits on visitors, and any last-minute changes.
- ✓ If you are traveling from out of town, call again the day of your planned visit since the number is available 24 hours.
- ✓ When you call or check in, ask your questions directly and politely. Detention staff are certified jailers with a minimum of 56 hours of state-approved training, and they can tell you what the jail will and will not allow.
- ✓ If you get a “no,” ask what the correct process is instead (for example, what documentation or approval is required).
The only publicly confirmed detail is the 24-hour phone contact. Call 870-238-5700 to verify everything that affects whether you'll be allowed in: visiting hours, required ID or paperwork, what you can bring, and any current restrictions or schedule changes.
Note: Staff certification (the 56-hour training requirement) doesn't tell you the specific visitation rules. If you have questions about check-in procedures or access, confirm them with the facility directly.
