Arkansas DOC – Texarkana Regional Correction Center

Arkansas DOC – Texarkana Regional Correction Center basic information to help guide you through what you can do for your inmate while they are incarcerated. The facility's direct contact number: 870-779-3939

This facility is for adult inmates.

The inmates housed at ADC-Texarkana Regional located at 305 E 5th St in Texarkana, 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.

The Texarkana Regional Correction Center is a minimum security state prison institution that offers inmates the opportunity to do a work release program in the Arkansas Department of Corrections. Work release allows the inmate to work during the day in a job within the surrounding community, and return to the facility at the end of the workday. Not all offenders will qualify for work release, and they must meet certain requirements such as being a Class I-A inmate and no more than 42 months away from their parole eligibility date or, from their release date.

Inmates at this facility can receive substance abuse education and adult basic education as well as earn their GED. Only 128 inmates can be at this facility, and most inmates will not meet the requirements for work release, they must be non-violent offenders.

Operations: Work Release; Regional Maintenance; and GED Program

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.
