Newton County Jail, Gefängnis in den Vereinigten Staaten
Newton County Jail is a prison facility located in Jasper, Arkansas at 300 North Spring Street, recognized on the National Register of Historic Places. The building is a modern, functional structure designed with security and practicality in mind, overseen by jail administrator Daniel Terherst.
The facility opened in 2014, replacing a jail that had operated for over one hundred years before closing in 2009. The new building was funded by a county bond approved by voters in 2008, marking a transition in local law enforcement infrastructure.
The facility opens at 8 am and closes at 2 pm Monday through Saturday, remaining closed on Sundays and during early morning hours. Visitors should plan accordingly given the limited operating hours and note the convenient location near downtown Jasper.
The facility was formally inaugurated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony in 2012, bringing together community members to mark the transition to modern law enforcement infrastructure. This community backing through voter-approved bond funding reflects local commitment to security and public service.
