How to find out if someone is at Randolph County Detention Center right now

The Randolph County Detention Center inmate roster page has two links that matter here. The first, labeled "current inmates," lists everyone currently in custody at the facility. Don't see the person you're looking for? Check the "48 hour release" link. That page shows everyone released from the Randolph County Detention Center within the last 48 hours, which could explain why their name isn't on the current roster.

1. Open the “current inmates” link: This is the county’s roster for people currently at the Randolph County Detention Center.
2. Scroll through the roster for the person’s name: If the list is long, use your browser’s “Find” feature (often Ctrl+F or Command+F) to search the page by last name.
3. Open the person’s roster entry and check the identifiers: Roster entries show a Booking # and a Booking Date.
4. Use the Booking # and Booking Date to confirm you have the right person: This helps when multiple people have similar names, or when a nickname is being used elsewhere.

1. Open the “48 hour release” link: This list is for people released from the Randolph County Detention Center within the last 48 hours.
2. Scan the list for the person’s name: If you are on a phone, slow scrolling may be easier than jumping around.
3. Use your browser’s “Find” feature to narrow it down: Searching by last name can save time if there are multiple entries.

The county includes a disclaimer on the roster page: while they work to keep the information accurate and current, the Randolph County Detention Center cannot certify the accuracy and/or authenticity of the information. Think of the online roster as a helpful starting point, not the final word, especially if something looks incomplete or out of date.

1. Double-check the roster entry details: If you found a similar name, compare the Booking # and Booking Date to what you know.
2. Call the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office for confirmation: The main phone number is 870-892-8888, and it is listed as available 24 hours.
3. Ask the specific question you need answered: For example, whether the person is currently in custody at the Randolph County Detention Center, and whether the roster information you are seeing is current.
