Arkansas DOC – Delta Regional Unit basic information to help guide you through what you can do for your inmate while they are incarcerated. The facility's direct contact number: 870-538-2000
This facility is for adult inmates.
The inmates housed at ADC-Delta Unit located at 880 E Gaines St in Dermott, AR are placed according to their custody level (determined by a number of factors including the past criminal history and the length of their sentence). There are ample educational and vocational training programs for all inmates, especially ones that show a willingness to learn new things that will prepare them for a better life when they are released. The mission is to promote and prepare the offender to leave in better shape than when they arrived, giving them the best chance to never come back and thus lower the state's recidivism rate.
Delta Regional Unit is a medium to maximum security state prison housing adult male inmates run by the Arkansas Department of Corrections located in Chicot County. Delta has a capacity of about 600 inmates that have access to several beneficial programs. The normal educational programs, including basic adult education and GED classes, are offered. Inmates who are incarcerated for drug-related offenses can participate in substance abuse education programs.
Operations: Alcoholics Anonymous: Thread of Hope Recovery Program; Anger Management; Faith-Based Principles and Applications for Life (PAL) Program; GED Program; Industry – Janitorial Supply; Jail Operation; Regional Maintenance; Think Legacy Program; and Workforce Alliance for Growth in the Economy (WAGE) Program
Inmate Commissary Lists – It is the policy of the Arkansas Department of Correction (ADC) to provide Inmate Commissaries from which inmates may purchase products. Items included in the various Inmate Commissaries are determined by the centralized Commissary Committee. The specific sale price of commissary items is determined by the Board of Corrections. Proceeds from the sale of items through Inmate Commissaries are placed in the Inmate Welfare Fund. Inmate Welfare funds can only be used for the general benefit of the inmates under rules and regulations as established by the Board of Corrections.
INDIGENT COMMISSARY LIST – An inmate shall be eligible for the program if their inmate trust account balance is less than $10.00 and the inmate has received less than $10.00 on their account during the immediately preceding thirty (30) days, issue of indigent items shall be reduced by the value of the account balance.
Inmate Telephone – Inmates are provided with coinless telephones during set hours of use. Inmates can only make collect calls to pre-approved numbers. Inmates cannot have cellular phones or calling cards. Inmates can lose their telephone privileges for disciplinary reasons. Each unit has its own telephone policy, so please check with the particular unit for specific hours of use.
Tobacco Policy – Inmates are not allowed to have any kind of tobacco. This policy became effective on January 17, 2000, and prohibits inmates from possessing “any smoking or smokeless tobacco product.” If an inmate does have tobacco, it is considered contraband and the inmate will be disciplined. Visitors and employees must leave all tobacco products in their vehicle. Bringing tobacco products into a facility will result in loss of visitation privileges.
Synthetic Drugs – Synthetic drugs are known by numerous names (Spice, bath salts, K2, and Molly to name a few), and are legally sold in the community as incense or other products "not meant for human consumption" but have an alternate use to produce a high similar to that felt when using marijuana, amphetamines or LSD. The problem is that each batch of these drugs contains different chemicals meaning each batch can produce different effects some of which can be life-threatening.
