This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release an inmate, post bond, change a court date, or pull an official booking record. Those requests must go to the office that holds the record.
Where to Ask
For Prairie County jail questions, start with the Prairie County Sheriff's Office and Prairie County Detention Center. The sheriff's office operates the jail at the courthouse square in Des Arc, and the official contact page lists regular office hours as Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The sheriff site also warns that online contact is not monitored around the clock, so urgent custody, bond, release, medical, or safety matters should be handled by phone.
