The Union Co Jail is a low/medium-security detention center located at 250 American Rd El Dorado, AR which is operated locally by the Union County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Union County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, El Dorado Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.
New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals. You can see all the arrest records for Arkansas here.
The Union County Detention Center is charged with safely and humanely detaining persons accused or convicted of crimes against the dignity of the State of Arkansas and the citizens of Union County. The Detention Center abides by state law and Arkansas Jail Standards in housing, feeding, and maintaining approximately 213 male and female detainees, year-round.
With only a few exceptions that are approved by the jail administrators, no items are permitted to be brought in to the detention center for detainees. All detainees are furnished with basic personal hygiene items weekly. Any other items that a detainee wishes to have must be purchased through the commissary. Commissary items are ordered and distributed once a week.
An account is maintained by detention center personnel for each detainee. Deposits to a detainee's account may be made either by a USPS money order (accepted through the mail only), by using the kiosk in the forward lobby of the Criminal Justice Facility. We no longer accept deposits for detainee accounts at the front window. Please note that there is a small processing fee, charged by the commissary provider, for using the electronic deposit services.
The Union County Detention Center is a smoke free, tobacco free facility. Any person entering the secure areas of the building may be subject to search at any time.
Inmate Mail - Inmates at the Union County Detention Center may only receive 3x5 or 4x6 postcards as incoming mail. All postcards must be properly addressed and have a full return address on it as well. Restrictions for the postcards include sexually explicit photographs, security threat group affiliations, and inciting literature. Letters made out to inmates will not be opened and will be returned to the sender.
If you wish to mail a money order to be placed on a detainee's commissary account, the money order should be made out to the inmate. However, the envelope should not have the inmate's name on it, or it may be interpreted as inmate mail and returned to the sender without being opened. The envelopes should be addressed:
Union County Sheriff’s Office
The mail policy only affects incoming mail. Outgoing mail and legal mail will remain unaffected.
