Other Official Systems
Use the Arkansas DOC locator after a Columbia County case results in a state prison sentence or state custody movement. Use VINELink for custody notifications. Use BOP for federal sentenced inmates and ICE ODLS for immigration detainees. The Magnolia Police Department and Southern Arkansas University Police Department are local public-safety agencies, but the research did not verify a separate city or campus jail roster for Columbia County.
