Description of Facility
The Maximum Security Unit is located in Jefferson County Arkansas. Established in 1983, it has the capacity to house 532 male inmates in a maximum security setting.
Even though this is a maximum security facility inmates still have access to a variety of programs. Offenders can participate in a substance abuse treatment program, education programs that include GED classes, the PAL program, and a pre-release program that focuses on the reintegration of offenders back into society. Inmates can also work in the fields if they partake in field crops. The maximum security unit also allows inmates to work with animals in the PAWS program.
