Locate Pine Bluff Work Release Inmates

Pine Bluff Work Release Custody

The official Arkansas DOC facility page identifies Pine Bluff Work Release Center as a state work-release operation west of Pine Bluff, off West 13th Avenue. It was established in 2015 and has a listed capacity of 54. The facility also houses administrative offices for Arkansas Correctional Industry, which matters because visitors may see more than one state function at the same campus. Custody at this address is not new county-jail booking custody. The people listed here remain under Arkansas Division of Correction control.

Work release is a narrower form of prison placement. A person normally reaches it after sentencing, classification, and DOC assignment, not at the point of arrest. That is why a Jefferson County arrest can first appear on the sheriff's roster at the W.C. "Dub" Brassell Adult Detention Center, then later move to the DOC locator after sentencing or transfer. A Pine Bluff Work Release Center inmate search should start with state records, because county bond, booking desk, and recent-arrest records do not govern this placement.

Pine Bluff Work Release Inmate Lookup

Use the Arkansas DOC inmate locator for Pine Bluff Work Release Center. The locator covers sentenced state prisoners, state facilities in Jefferson County, and certain DOC statuses that do not appear on the sheriff roster. It is separate from the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office roster. If a person was just arrested in Pine Bluff or elsewhere in Jefferson County, start with the county jail process. If the person has been sentenced, transferred, or assigned to work release, the DOC locator is the better source.

The DOC search form can be broad or precise. ADC number is the cleanest search when it is known. Name searches may need spelling variants, and the facility filter can help narrow results to Pine Bluff Work Release Center or other Jefferson County DOC units. The form also requires the user to accept the displayed disclaimer before submitting a search. A result may show a different unit if DOC has moved the inmate for bed space, program placement, work needs, medical care, or security reasons.

1. Open the Arkansas DOC locator at inmate.ark.org.
2. Search by ADC number when available, or use last name and first name.
3. Use the facility field to narrow the search if Pine Bluff Work Release Center appears as an option.
4. Open the matching profile and confirm current facility, custody status, and sentence information.
5. If no DOC result appears after a recent arrest, check the county jail roster because transfer to DOC may not have occurred yet.

Pine Bluff Work Release Contact

The DOC facility page gives Pine Bluff Work Release Center's address and main phone. Directions from Little Rock route south on I-530 to Exit 37, then west on 13th Street for about one mile. The official directions say the location is on the right and visitors should use the second driveway. Because the Pine Bluff Complex includes multiple correctional operations, callers should confirm the correct entrance and appointment details before driving to the area.

Pine Bluff Work Release Visits

Visitation for Pine Bluff Work Release Center follows Arkansas DOC policy, not the Jefferson County jail's local video-visitation rules. The research file did not capture a facility-specific family visiting schedule for this center. State prison visits generally require approval before a person can visit, and scheduling can change based on work-release assignments, facility staffing, lockdowns, and DOC rules. A work-release resident may be away from the facility for approved employment or program duties, so a visit should not be planned from a map result alone.

Bring government photo identification, use the name approved by DOC, and expect security screening. A person who is on parole or probation, a former inmate, or involved in an active case may need added permission before visiting. Clothing, property, and vehicle rules are also set by DOC. Pine Bluff Work Release Center can refuse or cancel a visit when rules are not met, when a resident is not available, or when operations require a change.

Note: Confirm the current visit schedule with Pine Bluff Work Release Center before traveling to West 13th Avenue.

Pine Bluff Work Release Mail and Money

Mail and money for Pine Bluff Work Release Center are handled through DOC channels. Use the Arkansas DOC inmate resources page for statewide mail, banking, phone, commissary, and victim-notification links. The research file notes a current DOC money rule: paper money orders are no longer accepted after May 31, 2025. Families should use DOC banking services or approved online trust and prepaid phone options rather than sending cash or a money order to the facility.

Mail should identify the inmate by the name and ADC number shown in the DOC locator. Work-release status does not make mail a county-jail matter, and it does not make bond payments available through the Jefferson County booking desk. The county jail may still have the old booking record if the case began locally, but living costs, trust accounts, and phone funds after DOC placement belong to the state system.

Pine Bluff Work Release and Jefferson County Records

Jefferson County has both a sheriff-run jail and several state DOC facilities. That local mix causes common search errors. A current county-jail detainee is usually found through the sheriff roster and the booking desk. A sentenced inmate at Pine Bluff Work Release Center is found through DOC. Court charges after an arrest can be checked through Arkansas court records, while custody and placement depend on the agency holding the person. For current local jail custody, the Jefferson County jail inmate records page explains the sheriff roster side of the process.

Work release also differs from a prison unit such as Tucker Unit or Randall L. Williams Correctional Facility. The custody is still state custody, but the placement is tied to approved work-release operations. A resident can be transferred if DOC changes classification, job placement, program assignment, or security status. Arkansas VINE may help monitor custody status for DOC and county-jail records, and DOC status updates are described in the research as hourly, around the clock.
