Grady, AR Cummins Unit View
Cummins Unit is a state correctional facility in Grady, Lincoln County, Arkansas, operated by the Arkansas Division of Correction. It primarily houses adult male inmates who have been sentenced to state custody by Arkansas courts, rather than serving as a local county jail for pretrial detainees. The facility’s role is to provide secure confinement, classification, work assignments, programs, and supervision for people serving prison sentences. Court dates, bond matters, and short-term pretrial custody are usually handled by the court or the county jail where the person was arrested before any transfer to state custody.
Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Cummins Unit
To find someone at the facility, use the official inmate search link available on this page. Inmate records and jail rosters typically list identifying and custody information such as the person’s name, booking or received date, charges or offenses, facility location, and custody status. Because this is a state prison, records may also show an ADC number, sentence information, and parole or release-related dates when available. New records usually do not appear immediately after arrest, booking, or transfer. Processing can take several hours, and in some cases longer, before the person is searchable. If no result appears, check spelling, try again later, or contact the appropriate court, county jail, or Arkansas Division of Correction for guidance.

How do I send mail to an inmate?
Address mail with the inmate’s full name, ADC number if known, and the facility mailing address. Include your return address and avoid prohibited items, because mail is screened and may be rejected if it does not follow the rules.
