Jonesboro, Arkansas – Building a new prison is a priority for the Arkansas Department of Corrections and the Arkansas Board of Corrections.
There will be between 200 and 300 inmates at the new community detention center the state plans to construct, per a press statement.
Submit an application if your community is willing to donate between 5 and 40 acres of land.
The ADC specifies that the area can’t be in a floodplain and must have at least one paved public roadway beside it.
Having access to significant medical services and being located in a densely populated area are additional important considerations for the location.
