East Central Arkansas Resident Lookup

East Central Arkansas State Center

East Central Arkansas Community Correction Center is listed by Arkansas DOC as a Residential Center at 200 W Tyler Ave in West Memphis. The current DOC location page gives the public phone number as 870-400-3101 and identifies Tameka Coleman as Center Supervisor and Nancy Stanberry as Assistant Center Supervisor. The page also identifies the facility as a Female Unit and lists education offerings that include Literacy I, II and III, GED and Ready Testing, and ServSafe Food Handler.

This facility should not be treated as another name for Crittenden County Detention Center. The county jail at 350 Afco Road is where local bookings, recent releases, bond amounts, and sheriff roster records are checked. East Central Arkansas Community Correction Center serves state community-correction residents and offenders in a residential setting. It has a separate DOC lookup path, separate address, separate phone number, state visitation rules, state banking routes, and audit-backed population data.

The distinction matters most when a person was just arrested. A new arrest by West Memphis Police, Marion Police, Arkansas State Police, or the Crittenden County Sheriff's Office should be checked through the sheriff's online jail roster wrapper or the direct county roster. East Central becomes relevant when the person is in DOC or community-correction custody, or when DOC search shows that facility.

East Central Arkansas DOC Lookup

The correct public search channel for East Central Arkansas Community Correction Center is the Arkansas DOC inmate search, not the Crittenden County jail roster. The DOC search form can be searched by ADC number, last name, first name, county, facility, gender, offense category, age, and race. It also has a required disclaimer checkbox before results can be submitted. DOC says users may search with any combination of available options or download the full inmate database.

For a local search, the county dropdown includes Crittenden, and the facility dropdown includes state units, community-correction centers, county waiting lists, and Crittenden-related waiting-list categories. Waiting-list status can create confusion. Arkansas DOC materials note that a person waiting in a county jail for ADC transfer may not appear in DOC search until brought into ADC custody. If the person is still a city or county jail detainee, the question goes back to Crittenden County Detention Center.

The image below is from the Arkansas DOC inmate search, which is the public lookup path for residents in state DOC or community-correction custody.

The DOC locator is broader than one facility, so the result profile must be checked for the current facility field before assuming the resident is at East Central.

1. Open the Arkansas DOC inmate search and accept the disclaimer checkbox.
2. Search by ADC number when available, or use first and last name with other filters.
3. Use Crittenden or the facility dropdown only as filters, not as proof that every local arrest is in DOC custody.
4. Open the DOC profile and confirm the facility, mailing address, custody class, sentence details, and status.

East Central Arkansas Population

The strongest population source located for East Central Arkansas Community Correction Center is the 2022 ACA audit. That audit reported a rated capacity of 350, an actual population of 323, and a prior-12-month average daily population of 256. It also reported an average length of stay of 1 year and 2 months, an age range of 20 to 71, female gender, and minimum custody or security. These numbers belong to the state residential center, not the county jail.

These figures should not be merged with the live Crittenden County jail roster count. A county inmate-population summary may discuss both places, but the county jail population and East Central's state residential-center population are separate data lines.

East Central Arkansas Address

The current DOC location page controls the public address and phone number for user-facing directions. The 2022 audit adds history, programming, capacity, staffing, and conditions, but the current DOC page should be used for the current contact block.

Do not use the Crittenden County Detention Center phone for East Central resident matters unless the person is still in county jail custody. The jail, district court, circuit clerk, and East Central all have West Memphis or Crittenden County connections, but they perform different functions.

East Central Visitation and Banking

DOC visitation is different from county jail video visitation. Arkansas DOC's visitation updates describe an approval process in which applications go to the unit visitation clerk, not to the inmate. Processing can take seven days or longer. Visitors age 12 and older need a state-issued photo ID. DOC visitation rules and video registration can change, so East Central visitors should check current DOC instructions before making travel plans.

Money also follows the DOC path. Arkansas DOC inmate banking uses CorrectPay and Access Corrections for trust and pre-pay phone deposits. DOC has announced that paper money orders are no longer accepted after May 31, 2025. Deposits can be made online, by phone, smartphone, and some walk-in retailers, with minimums and limits described by DOC. Those state routes are separate from Tiger Commissary at the county jail.

East Central Female Unit Programs

East Central has much richer source-backed program detail than the county jail. The current DOC page identifies the facility as a Female Unit and lists Literacy I, II and III, GED and Ready Testing, and ServSafe Food Handler. The 2022 ACA audit described the center as operating under a Modified Therapeutic Community model, with structure, supervision, drug and alcohol treatment, educational and vocational programs, employment counseling, socialization and life skills, community work transition, and other treatment.

The audit also listed referral pathways that included Judicial Transfer, Probation Plus, Drug Court Short-Term Treatment, and Supervision Sanction Program. Those labels show why East Central should be described as a state residential community-correction center, not a street-arrest booking jail. Residents may be there through court or supervision pathways tied to Arkansas community-correction custody.

Community-correction center

A state residential setting for supervision, treatment, sanctions, and transition, separate from a local county jail.

Judicial transfer

A court-related pathway into state community-correction custody rather than ordinary local pretrial jail custody.

Modified Therapeutic Community

A structured treatment model reported by the audit for East Central residents.

Minimum custody

A lower security classification reported in the audit for the residential center.

East Central Conditions History

The 2022 ACA audit gives facility history that is specific to West Memphis. It described East Central as the former Crittenden Memorial Hospital, built in 1951, closed September 7, 2014, and leased to Arkansas in 2016 as a correctional facility for nonviolent female offenders. That former-hospital history helps explain why the facility is physically in Crittenden County while still being part of the state community-correction system.

Condition notes in the audit reported clean and orderly living units, adequate toilets, sinks, and showers, weekly, monthly, and annual sanitation inspections, fire evacuation notices, inspected extinguishers, and the West Memphis fire department within two miles. The audit also reported a 24/7 medical department, a Wellpath contract at audit time, and emergency referrals to Baptist Hospital or Regional One in Memphis. Because those details come from the 2022 audit, current operating details should be confirmed with DOC if the question is urgent.

Program and work details in the audit included GED through Arkansas Correctional School District and Miller County Literacy Council, Welding, Boiler Program, Shorter College, ADWORC, SERV-SAFE Food, inside jobs such as cleaning, laundry, foodservice, maintenance, and yard crews, plus outside Community Work Squads and a two-acre vegetable garden. These are state residential-center details and should not be copied into the Crittenden County jail page.

Crittenden Custody Routing

A practical custody search in Crittenden County should start with the system that matches the custody type. Current local arrests and bond questions go to Crittenden County Detention Center and the county roster. Court charges after an arrest go to Search ARCourts, the Circuit Clerk, or the relevant district court. State community-correction or DOC custody goes to the Arkansas DOC locator and the DOC online services center. Federal prison searches go to BOP, and immigration custody searches go to ICE ODLS.

Arkansas VINE can help with notifications, but it is not a substitute for the official roster, DOC profile, or court record. DOC states that VINE monitors county jails, Arkansas Division of Correction, probation, parole, post-release supervision, and court information from Prosecuting Attorney's Offices, with different update cadences for each source. A VINE notice should still be checked against the office that controls the record.
