Finding Someone in Custody in Greene County
The county jail, run by the Greene County Sheriff's Office, holds everyone kept in custody after an arrest in Greene County, from every agency.
SearchSystems opened and checked the custody page of the Greene County Sheriff's Office at greenesoar.gov/inmate-roster/filters/current/booking_time=desc/1 (page title: Inmate Roster | Greene County AR Sheriff's Office | Sort Booking Time | Descending | Page 1), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 24, 2026.
That page is the place to look for someone booked recently. A person cited and released at the scene, or held only a few hours by a city department, will not be on it.
The Greene County Jail by the Numbers
On an average day in 2019 the jail held about 280 people. Its rated capacity in 2019 was 440 beds, and it ran at 64 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.
