East Central Arkansas Community Correction Center: Quick Reference Guide for Families

East Central Arkansas Community Correction Center is at 200 W Tyler Ave, West Memphis, AR 72301, in Crittenden County. Use the full street address when mapping directions or sending paperwork - it'll help avoid delays.

Main phone number: (870) 400-3101.

This facility is classified as a residential center. That distinction matters. Day-to-day operations - movement, programming, contact with family - work differently here than at a county jail or traditional prison unit.

The center has a female unit with 350 beds. Knowing the setting and size helps you ask better questions when you call about visiting procedures, mail, or phone access for your loved one's unit.

Need to reference leadership when you call? Management includes Tameka Coleman (Center Supervisor) and Nancy Stanberry (Assistant Center Supervisor). You can ask to leave a message for the appropriate supervisor if you're trying to resolve a recurring issue or confirm a policy.
