What 'Residential Center' Means at Northeast Arkansas Community Correction Center (Male Unit, 240 Beds)

On the Arkansas Department of Corrections locations page, Northeast Arkansas Community Correction Center is listed with the location type “Residential Center.” That’s the official public label you’ll see in the record, and it’s a helpful starting point when you’re trying to understand what to expect from this facility.

The same public listing describes this site as a male unit with 240 beds. For families, that gives you a sense of scale: it’s not a tiny holding facility, but it’s also not one of the largest institutions in the state. Knowing it’s a male unit can also help you avoid mix-ups when you’re looking for the right rules, schedules, or contact information.

If you see staff names referenced in paperwork or during calls, the Arkansas DOC listing identifies Phillip Glover as the Center Supervisor for Northeast Arkansas Community Correction Center. That can be useful context when you’re trying to route a question to the right office or confirm you’ve reached the correct facility.

This center appears on the Arkansas DOC locations directory under the Division of Community Correction, where the public-facing message emphasizes public safety while providing opportunities for positive change. In practical terms, the directory entry gives you a verified label, leadership name, and basic contact details - but it doesn’t spell out day-to-day procedures. That’s why a quick phone call often saves you time and frustration before you drive out, send mail, or try to schedule anything.
