Washington County Website Affects Students’ Reputations | Arkansas Traveler

The weekends are a time for relaxation, celebration and for some students, drinking alcohol. But when Sunday comes around and the hangovers are nearly gone, one website seems to remain at the top of many students’ bookmarks: the Washington County Detention Center Report.

Since the site’s creation several years ago, the online portion of the county’s inmate roster has become very popular, with more than one million hits in just one year. Jak Kimball, IT Manager with the Sheriff’s Department, said that it began “as a way to facilitate the media, to get the information to them.”
