How to Find Recently Released Pulaski County Inmates
The Pulaski County jail roster at pulaski-so-ar.zuercherportal.com/#/inmates is built around current custody. A Pulaski County inmate no longer in the roster is usually released. PCSO does not publish a separate released-inmates page, but the daily release list runs about ten Pulaski County inmates per day according to the Inmate Coordinator. Court Liaison processes Pulaski County inmates that the courts have released and sends sentenced inmates to ADC weekly.
For confirmation, call the Pulaski County detention facility at 501-340-7001. Bond release, court-ordered release, sentence completion, transfers to ADC, and federal transfers all leave the Pulaski County roster the same way. The phone confirmation tells the caller which path the Pulaski County inmate took.
Setting Up Pulaski County Release Notifications
Arkansas VINE provides free custody notifications. Register at vinelink.com and select Arkansas as the jurisdiction. The system can send a phone call, text, or email when a Pulaski County inmate is released, transferred, or has a court event. VINE is a notification tool, not a certified release record. Urgent Pulaski County custody questions should still be verified with the jail or the issuing court. Crime victims, families, and community members can all register on VINELink.
The Pulaski County VINELink registration works across the state Department of Corrections and the local detention facility.

Verifying a Pulaski County Release in Person or by Phone
Official confirmation comes from the agency that holds the person. For a current Pulaski County jail release, call the detention facility at 501-340-7001. For a state prison release, call ADC. For a federal release, call the relevant BOP facility. Court-ordered Pulaski County releases run through the PCSO Court Liaison, so the jail and the court may show different status until the workflow finishes. A Pulaski County inmate listed as released by the court may still be in the jail's intake or transport queue.
Walk-in confirmation at 3201 West Roosevelt is available during business hours. Bring photo ID and the inmate name. PCSO Public Affairs supports media questions 24/7. For records older than the live roster, file a FOI request through PCSO NextRequest.
The Pulaski County Sex Offender Registry
The Arkansas Crime Information Center under DPS publishes the state sex offender registry. Pulaski County residents convicted of a registerable offense appear on the public list when their level supports community notification. The registry is governed by Ark. Code § 12-12-901 through § 12-12-920. The registry is not a general released-inmate list and does not show every Pulaski County arrest or conviction.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes / Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Text | Optional | Search by first and last name. |
| Address / Area | Text | Optional | Street, city, ZIP, or area search. |

Pulaski County Parole and Probation Information
The Arkansas Division of Community Correction supervises parole and probation across the state, including Pulaski County. A Pulaski County resident on probation reports to the local parole and probation office on a schedule set by the supervising officer. The conditions of supervision often include drug testing, employment requirements, no new arrests, and travel restrictions. The Arkansas Parole Board sets the terms of state parole and considers releases for Pulaski County state prisoners. Pulaski County District Court runs its own First Offender Traffic Probation for low-risk traffic cases, separate from state probation.
Reentry Resources in Pulaski County
Pulaski County reentry support comes from a mix of court programs and community partners. The Pulaski County Prosecuting Attorney runs Drug Court, Veteran's Court, and Mental Health Court as specialty diversion tracks. The Pulaski County jail Inmate Services unit offers GED testing, self-help classes, chaplain support, and indigent supplies. Arkansas Access to Justice and Arkansas Law Help provide free legal information for sealing, employment, and family reunification. Records sealing is free at the Pulaski Clerk after Act 680 of 2019.
Civil Rights Restoration After Release in Pulaski County
Pulaski County residents with a felony conviction can restore voting rights after completing all sentence obligations. The Pulaski Clerk voter registration page lists the proof required: discharge from probation or parole, confirmation that all probation or parole fees are paid, satisfaction of any imprisonment term, and full payment of court costs, fines, and restitution. A sealed Pulaski County record also supports restoration. Submit proof to the Clerk where the Pulaski County resident now lives and complete an Arkansas Voter Registration Application.
Firearm rights restoration follows a different track. Federal law and Arkansas law treat firearm rights separately from voting rights, and some Pulaski County convictions cannot be restored without a court order or a governor's pardon. Driver's license reinstatement after a Pulaski County DWI requires a $150 fee and proof of program completion through the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration.
How a Pulaski County Court Release Actually Works
The Pulaski County Court Liaison unit at the Regional Detention Facility is the bridge between the jail and the court system. Court Liaison processes Pulaski County inmates that the courts have released, coordinates with public defenders, prepares daily Pulaski County circuit and district court transport lists, and distributes warrants, dockets, and arrest disposition reports between courts and agencies. The Inmate Coordinator handles time computation on about 150 Pulaski County inmates daily and completes a release list of roughly 10 inmates per day.
That workflow has practical effects for Pulaski County families. A Pulaski County judge can sign a release order at 10:00 a.m., but the jail's intake and property workflow may take hours before the inmate walks out. Public copy should never promise an exact release hour. Bond release depends on Pulaski County jail acceptance of paperwork and payment, which varies by court and bond type. Call ahead to the Pulaski County detention facility at 501-340-7001 before driving to wait.
Sealing Records After Pulaski County Release
Records sealing under the Comprehensive Criminal Record Sealing Act of 2013, Ark. Code § 16-90-1401 et seq., is not automatic after a Pulaski County release. The eligible petitioner files in the Pulaski County court that handled the case, completes the petition and order forms, and serves required agencies including the prosecuting attorney. Eligibility depends on offense, disposition, sentence completion, waiting period, fines, costs, and restitution paid. Common denials in Pulaski County come from ineligible offenses, unpaid costs, incomplete probation, wrong court, missing service, or prosecutor objection. The Pulaski Clerk fee schedule notes no charge for sealing after July 23, 2019.
Historical Pulaski County Inmate Records
The PCSO Zuercher portal is built for current Pulaski County custody, not history. A historical Pulaski County booking, release date, or older arrest report is not in the public roster. Pulaski County users who need historical records file a FOI request through PCSO NextRequest. The Inmate Records unit maintains permanent paper files, behavior assessment reports, logs, and census data across four active file rooms, and processes expungement and order-to-seal notices, so older Pulaski County records can be retrieved with a clear request. Pulaski County grievance records are kept for five years from the date filed.
