About Arkansas Department of Corrections

Once locked up, families and friends of inmates may want to stay in touch or keep up with the progress of their kin's case. Sometimes locating an inmate especially if they have been transferred to a specific facility may be a daunting and frustrating task.

To make the process of finding incarcerated kins easier and less daunting to family members, the Arkansas Department of Correction (ADC)  unveiled a reliable database called inmate finder. This doc inmate search tool allows you to search for prisoners by their last name, gender, race, age, first name, county, facility,  offense category or corrections number, county, facility, or offense category.

It also gives you the option to do a state prisoner lookup with only a photograph or scans through the whole list of all offenders listed within the database. The search results of all inmates from the DOC's database will display the incarcerated individual's official names, gender, race, date of birth,  department of correction number, date of incarceration, current holding facility.

If you need to send money to the inmate through an inmate's commissary, the website also allows you to deposit the money online.

However, you need to make sure that you have located the suitable Arkansas state inmate before completing the transaction.
