Southwest Arkansas Resident Custody
The official DOC location page lists Southwest Arkansas Community Correction Center at 506 Walnut Street in Texarkana, with Miller as the county and Texarkana as the city. It is operated by the Arkansas Division of Community Correction, not by the Miller County Sheriff's Office. The location page identifies it as a male residential center with Modified Therapeutic Community programming, education, literacy, GED and Ready testing, ServSafe Food Handler, and iCEV industry-recognized credentials.
The 2022 ACA review gives deeper history. It describes the center as the former Saint Michael's Hospital, built in 1948 in downtown Texarkana. The program began in 1995 under community programming and later operated under the Department of Community Correction. Residents are in minimum custody or residential community-correction status. They are not ordinary pretrial county-jail detainees, and the county jail phone line is not the main path for routine resident lookup.
Southwest Arkansas DOC Lookup
Search state custody through Arkansas DOC inmate search. The locator can search by ADC number, county, first and last name, facility, gender, offense category, age, and race after the disclaimer is accepted. Facility options in the research included Southwest AR (SWC) and Southwest AR (SWC/TV). A DOC profile may show photo, ADC number, facility, mailing address, custody classification, good-time class, parole or transfer eligibility date, total time, aliases, and physical-description fields.
Do not search the Miller County jail roster for routine state residential-center status unless the person has just been arrested or is still at the county jail. County detention and state community correction are separate custody tracks. After sentencing, revocation, or state placement, the DOC/DCC record is the better source, and facility staff can confirm visit or mail rules that a public profile does not show.
- Open the Arkansas DOC inmate search and agree to the disclaimer.
- Search by ADC number if available, or enter the resident's first and last name.
- Use the facility filter for Southwest AR listings when the name is common.
- Open the profile and verify facility, mailing address, custody class, and current status.
- Call Southwest Arkansas Community Correction Center if the profile does not answer visit or program questions.
| Search field | Use | Important limit |
|---|---|---|
| ADC Number | Exact state record search | Best when known |
| Facility | Southwest AR filter | May include SWC and SWC/TV labels |
| County | Miller county context | Does not mean county jail custody |
| Name | General lookup | Confirm with birth or profile details before acting |
Southwest Arkansas Contact Details
The DOC location page gives the public phone and fax for the center and names John (Kevin) Miners as center supervisor in the research capture. Public users should call the facility for current program, visit, mail, and residential-center questions. Calls about a new Texarkana arrest, bond, or county court date should start with Miller County Detention Center instead because Southwest Arkansas Community Correction Center does not serve as the ordinary post-arrest booking jail.

Southwest Arkansas Visitation
Southwest Arkansas Community Correction Center follows state community-correction and DOC/DCC visitor rules, not the Miller County jail's Smart Communications social video-visit process. State visitation usually requires approval before a visit, identification for visitors, conduct rules, dress rules, and compliance with facility scheduling. Research did not locate a separate public weekly visit grid for this center, so do not infer local days or walk-in hours from another Arkansas facility.
The DOC online-services rules are the strongest general state source for video visits and communications. They describe approved visitor records, monitored sessions, advance scheduling, and a state vendor process. When a resident is in a treatment or education program, a schedule or privilege level may affect visits, phone use, or movement.
| Visit item | State-custody approach | Before travel |
|---|---|---|
| Approval | Visitor approval may be required before scheduling | Confirm with the center |
| Video visits | DOC/Securus process where available | Check current registration and price |
| In-person visits | Facility schedule was not published in captured text | Call 870-779-2036 |
| ID | State photo ID rules may apply | Bring valid identification |
Southwest Arkansas Mail Money
Use state facility instructions for mail, phone, and money. The research says DOC online services cover inmate banking, prepaid phone, eMessaging, packages, tablets, and video visitation. It also says paper money orders are no longer accepted after May 31, 2025. CorrectPay and Access Corrections are the state money channels documented in the research, while Securus handles phone, eMessaging, and video services in DOC materials.
Do not apply the Miller County Detention Center postcard-only mail rule to this residential center unless the facility gives that rule. Mail should match the DOC profile or center instruction. Package, book, and program-material rules can differ from jail rules and may change based on resident status, treatment phase, or security review.
| Service | Provider or detail | Documented rule |
|---|---|---|
| Money deposits | CorrectPay / Access Corrections | No paper money orders after May 31, 2025 per DOC online services |
| Phone and video | Securus / DOC service path | Approval and monitoring may apply |
| Facility or DOC profile address | Verify format before mailing | |
| Packages | DOC package program if eligible | Do not send unscheduled packages without approval |
Southwest Arkansas Population

Southwest Arkansas Programs
Southwest Arkansas Community Correction Center is one of the strongest program-based custody entries in Miller County. The official DOC location page lists Modified Therapeutic Community, Literacy I, II and III, GED and Ready testing, ServSafe Food Handler, and iCEV industry-recognized credentials. Those details make the center different from a local jail. The aim is residential correction, treatment, education, and credential work under DCC authority.
The former hospital setting also matters. The 2022 review describes a downtown Texarkana building, with program and treatment staff as well as security and administrative staff. The 2019 review described a seven-floor concrete former hospital not including the basement. Those facts support a residential-center description, but they do not prove that every resident has access to each class at all times. Eligibility depends on placement, phase, security, staffing, and current DCC policy.
Note: Confirm current resident status, visitor approval, and mail rules with Southwest Arkansas Community Correction Center before travel.
