Tucker Work Release Records
The official Arkansas DOC Tucker Work Release Center page lists the facility at 100 Grimes Road, Tucker, AR 72168. The facility was established in 2024 and has a current capacity of 124. Its operation is work release, which means residents remain under Arkansas DOC custody while assigned to an approved work-release setting. That is not the same as a new Jefferson County jail booking, and it is not searched through the sheriff's adult jail roster.
Tucker Work Release Center sits in the Tucker area northeast of Pine Bluff, near but separate from Tucker Unit. The two names can be easy to confuse. Tucker Unit is a large DOC prison with a different address, phone number, capacity, and program profile. Tucker Work Release Center has its own DOC page, facility address, and phone number, and the DOC locator should be used to confirm the current facility before anyone sends mail, adds funds, or makes travel plans.
Tucker Work Release Lookup
Use the Arkansas DOC inmate search for Tucker Work Release Center. The DOC search page includes ADC number, county, last name, first name, facility, offense category, age, race, and a required disclaimer checkbox. It also includes a link to download the full inmate database. The form can be used by name, but the ADC number is the most precise search term when it is known.
A person arrested in Jefferson County may begin in the W.C. "Dub" Brassell Adult Detention Center, appear in court, and later move into DOC custody after sentencing or classification. Once DOC custody controls, the county roster is no longer the main source. If a person is missing from Tucker Work Release results, check for a transfer, different DOC unit, county waiting-list status, release, or a name mismatch before assuming there is no record.
- Open the statewide DOC locator and read the disclaimer.
- Search by ADC number if available.
- Use first and last name when no DOC number is known.
- Filter by facility if Tucker Work Release Center appears as an option.
- Confirm the current facility before sending mail, adding money, or planning a visit.
| Search Source | Use It For | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Arkansas DOC locator | State custody and work-release placement | Not a county booking-photo roster. |
| Jefferson County roster | Fresh adult county jail bookings | Not the main source after DOC transfer. |
| Search ARCourts | Court cases after arrest | Not a live housing locator. |
| Arkansas VINE | Custody notification support | Not a mail, money, or visitation approval system. |
Tucker Work Release Contact
DOC directions place Tucker Work Release Center about 25 miles northeast of Pine Bluff, off Highway 15 in Jefferson County. From Pine Bluff, travel east on Highway 79, turn left on Highway 15 North, turn right on State Farm Road, turn left at the Y, continue about one mile, turn left on Tucker Maximum Road, then left on Grimes Road. The facility is on the right. Because the Tucker area has multiple correctional locations, do not rely only on a map pin.

Tucker Work Release Visits
Tucker Work Release Center visitation follows DOC rules, not county jail visitation rules. The research did not capture a public day-by-day schedule for this facility. That gap should not be filled with county adult jail attorney rules or juvenile weekend schedules. A visitor should confirm approval, schedule, ID requirements, property limits, and any work-release movement restrictions directly with DOC or the facility.
Work-release status can make timing important. A resident may have job-related movement, count times, transport needs, or program rules that affect when visits or calls are allowed. Use the DOC locator and facility phone before travel, especially when driving from Pine Bluff, Little Rock, or another county. If the locator shows a different current unit, follow the rules for that unit instead.
| Visit Item | Tucker Work Release Handling | Research Note |
|---|---|---|
| Schedule | Confirm with facility or DOC | No public schedule captured. |
| Approval | DOC visitor approval applies | State custody, not county jail. |
| Identification | Bring official ID | Security screening expected. |
| Status check | Verify current facility first | DOC transfers can change location. |
Tucker Work Release Mail and Money
Mail, trust deposits, commissary, and phone funding for Tucker Work Release Center use Arkansas DOC processes. The DOC inmate resources page links to inmate search, mail and money, commissary, programs, victim services, and post-release information. The research notes a current DOC money rule: paper money orders are no longer accepted after May 31, 2025. Use DOC banking and approved online funding options rather than county jail deposit methods.
Use the person's committed name and ADC number on DOC mail and money steps. The ADC number is especially useful in a county with many DOC facilities, because someone may be in Tucker Work Release, Tucker Unit, Pine Bluff Work Release, Pine Bluff Unit, Randall Williams, or Barbara Ester. The court case can remain tied to Jefferson County while the custody address changes through DOC classification and transfer decisions.
| Service | Correct Route | Wrong Route |
|---|---|---|
| DOC mail rules with ADC number | Adult county jail mail assumptions. | |
| Trust funds | DOC banking or approved online option | Paper money orders after May 31, 2025. |
| Phone funds | DOC prepaid phone account route | County booking desk. |
| Bond | Usually not applicable after DOC placement | County bond instructions for pretrial detainees. |
Tucker Work Release Status
Work release is still custody. Residents assigned to Tucker Work Release Center are state prisoners in a DOC work-release placement, not ordinary members of the public and not county jail detainees waiting for a first court appearance. Program rules, job assignment, discipline, classification, and DOC transfer decisions can affect daily access. A family member should treat a work-release placement as a DOC facility placement until DOC records show otherwise.
The facility's 2024 establishment makes it a current and important part of Jefferson County's state-custody footprint. It also means older local pages may omit it or confuse it with Tucker Unit. The facility map for this project includes both Tucker Unit and Tucker Work Release Center because the official DOC pages identify both as inmate-housing or custody facilities in Jefferson County.
- Work release
- DOC custody placement that may allow approved work outside the facility under rules.
- ADC number
- The state identifier used by Arkansas DOC to match the correct person.
- Transfer
- Movement between DOC facilities for bed, program, work, medical, or security reasons.
- County roster
- The sheriff jail list for local adult jail custody, not DOC work-release placement.
Tucker Work Release Record Limits
The DOC locator is not a complete court file and is not a mugshot publication. It helps verify state custody, facility, identity fields, offense category, and related DOC information. Court charges, filings, hearings, judgments, and dispositions should be checked through Search ARCourts and the Jefferson County Circuit Clerk when the case is local. Recent adult jail bookings should be checked through the Jefferson County sheriff roster before a prison transfer occurs.
Federal and immigration custody have still different tools. BOP uses the federal inmate locator, and ICE uses ODLS for current ICE custody or CBP custody over 48 hours. The Tucker Work Release Center page should not be used to infer federal, ICE, juvenile, or county jail custody. Each system has its own public fields and gaps.
Note: Confirm the current DOC facility before sending mail or money, because transfer can make old custody information stale.
