Where to Direct a Union County Records Question
For local jail and sheriff records, start with the Union County Sheriff's Office and Union County Detention Center. Official contact information lists the facility at 250 American Road, El Dorado, AR 71730, phone 870-864-1970, dispatch 870-864-1990, and administrative hours Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The sheriff app footer describes jail and law-enforcement operations as open 24 hours.
For court records after charges are filed, contact the Union County Circuit Clerk at 101 North Washington, Suite 201, El Dorado, AR 71730, phone 870-864-1940. The sheriff's official contact file says document or file requests to the Sheriff's Office should be made in person, by phone, or through U.S. Mail.
- For a person currently booked into the county jail, use jail inmate records and then confirm urgent custody or release questions with the Sheriff's Office.
- For booking-photo availability, use jail roster mugshots and the sheriff roster or records channel.
- For charges, hearings, fines, court dates, or filed criminal cases after arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and the Circuit Clerk.
- For facility-specific address, phone, visitation, and mail context, use the Union County Detention Center page.
- For a sentenced Arkansas prisoner transferred out of the county jail, search the Arkansas Department of Corrections locator at inmate.ark.org.
- For federal sentenced custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator. For immigration custody, use ICE Online Detainee Locator System. Federal pretrial custody may require federal court, counsel, or U.S. Marshals routing.
