Statewide rules that apply at every Arkansas state prison

These rules are set by ADC and apply at every unit. The full list — including all permitted and prohibited items and the approval process — is in Visiting in Arkansas.

Dress code

No white or camouflage clothing — both resemble what inmates wear (Arkansas inmates wear white).
Shoulders must stay covered: no sleeveless shirts, tank tops, or halter tops, and no shorts, miniskirts, or short dresses.
No see-through clothing, leggings, or jeggings, and nothing low-cut or otherwise provocative; children 10 and under may wear shorts of an appropriate length.
Avoid metal in clothing and accessories (underwire, buckles, snaps), which can stop you from clearing the metal detector; the authoritative dress code is printed on the back of the visitation form.

ID: Every visitor must be approved on the inmate's visiting list first — the inmate mails the application form to the visitor (it is not available online or from staff), and a criminal-history check is run on each applicant. Visitors 12 and older must show a government-issued photo ID.
What to bring: Bring a clear plastic bag with a small amount of cash for the vending machines (some units are moving to coins or debit and credit cards only), prescription medication in the visitor's name, a photo ID, car keys, and baby items. Phones, tobacco, and other items must stay locked in the vehicle.
Scheduling: Visits are pre-scheduled, not walk-in — request an appointment through the state TeleGov portal or by calling the unit's Visitation Clerk. Routine visits are on weekends, and how many visits a month a person gets depends on the inmate's class level; ADC does not post per-unit hours online, so confirm with the unit.

Full statewide rules: Visiting in Arkansas

Overview

The Texarkana Regional Correctional Center, in downtown Texarkana on the Arkansas side, is one of the smallest units in the system — a work-release center with a rated capacity of about 128, for non-violent men who are within a few years of release. Many residents leave during the day for community jobs and return at night, so a person may not be at the center during weekday business hours.

What Makes Texarkana Different

It is a small work-release center, so a resident may be at a job in the community on weekdays.
It is on the Arkansas-Texas state line — many services and the nearest 24-hour ER are across the line in Texarkana, Texas.
It is not the federal prison. The separate FCI Texarkana on the Texas side is a federal facility, not this state center — confirm which one holds the person.

Visiting

The statewide ADC rules above — the approved visitor list, the no-white dress code, ID, and pre-scheduled visits — apply at Texarkana.

The full approval process is in Visiting in Arkansas.

Getting There and Parking

The center is on East 5th Street in downtown Texarkana, Arkansas.

Distances are approximate, based on map routing. Visitor parking is on site.

Nearby Services

Texarkana — on both sides of the state line — has gas, food, and lodging. The nearest 24-hour emergency room is CHRISTUS St. Michael Hospital in Texarkana, Texas, just across the line.

Mail

Personal mail does not go to the unit. Since September 2025, ADC routes non-legal personal letters and photos to an off-site scanning center in Tampa, Florida, addressed with the person’s name and ADC number; the person receives the mail electronically. Legal mail, books, and magazines still go directly to the unit at the Texarkana address. Full addressing details are in Mail & Packages.
