Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at East Arkansas Regional Unit
Members of the public can look for an inmate using the official inmate search link provided on this page. State and jail inmate listings typically show details such as the inmate’s name, booking or intake date, charges or convictions, facility location, and custody status. Records do not always appear immediately after a person is booked or transferred. Processing, identity checks, and data entry can take several hours, so a newly received inmate may not be searchable right away. If no result appears, check the spelling, try again later, or contact the facility or the Arkansas Division of Correction for guidance.
