State Inmate Search for Cabot Residents
If a Cabot inmate has been sent to state prison, the Lonoke County jail log will no longer show them. Use the state portal instead. The Arkansas Department of Correction runs the main search tool. It is free and open to the public.
The ADC Inmate Info Search System lets you look up state inmates by name, ADC number, county of conviction, age, race, sex, facility, or offense. The portal was built under Ark. Code Ann. § 12-27-113(e)(1), which tells the ADC to keep photos, trial data, and past history for each state inmate. Results include the current facility, sentence length, start date, and projected release date.
To find a Cabot person in state prison, pick Lonoke from the county of conviction drop-down. Then type the last name. The system will list all matches. Click a result to see the detail page with mugshot, charge, and unit.
