5 Ways to Stay Connected with Someone at North Central Unit (Calico Rock)
Staying connected takes effort, but it's manageable when you follow the Arkansas DOC's Family & Friends guide and double-check current rules before making plans.
How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Visitation rules vary, and many Arkansas facilities now use video visits—either on-site kiosks or remote connections—instead of traditional contact visits. Confirm how North Central Unit handles visits before making the trip. Visits are often by appointment, with tight time and frequency limits. Check the current schedule for the inmate's housing area. Make sure you're on the approved visitor list (or complete the visitor approval form) and bring a government-issued photo ID. If a vendor platform is required, create your account, approve any connection requests, and test the site or app ahead of time. Arrive early, and call or check the facility page if systems are down.
