  The former Newton County Jail is located at the junction of Spring and Elm Streets in Jasper, Arkansas. Built of local stone c. 1903–04, it served as a local lockup until 2009, when a new jail was opened. It is a two-story structure, located just off the courthouse square northwest of the county courthouse. Its main facade has a center entrance flanked by barred windows, and a larger two-leaf casement window, also barred, set in a segmented-arch opening, at the center of the second floor.
  
  The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
