How to Contact an Inmate at Grimes Unit, Newport, AR (AR)
Trying to reach someone at Grimes Unit in Newport, Arkansas? Here's the first thing you should know: the Arkansas Department of Correction website isn't loading properly right now. Both the Grimes Unit facility page and the broader DOC page that normally hosts facility information are returning only the text "nginx." That means you can't count on those pages for current instructions on mail, phone calls, video visitation, or contact numbers. Before you send anything or set up any accounts, confirm the details directly through official channels.
