Arkansas Department of Corrections: What Families Need to Know (2026)
Arkansas families have one of the clearest visiting routines in the country, and the guide spells it out in full. Routine visits run Saturdays and Sundays, 11:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m. and 2:00–4:00 p.m., with no holiday visits unless the holiday falls on a visiting day. Class I residents receive one visit weekly, while Classes II through IV receive two a month, and visits allow up to four visitors. Appointments are requested at telegov.egov.com/docrequest, by Wednesday at 11:59 p.m. for Saturday and by Thursday at 11:59 p.m. for Sunday, or by calling the unit's visitation clerk. Work release and residential centers also visit on Saturdays and Sundays, with hours varying by center. The guide lists the units and centers with mailing addresses and phone numbers, including the Cummins Unit at P.O. Box 500, Grady, AR 71644-0500, and the Varner/Varner Supermax Unit at P.O. Box 600, Grady, AR 71644-0600, so mail and calls reach the right place. The Division of Correction is led by Secretary Lindsay Wallace, and the central office is at 6814 Princeton Pike, Pine Bluff, AR 71602-9411, phone 870-267-6999. As always, schedules change, so call the unit to confirm before you go.
