Operations
For the diagnostic process, male inmates go to the Diagnostic Unit in the Pine Bluff Complex in unincorporated Jefferson County, Arkansas, near Pine Bluff and women go to the McPherson Unit in Newport. After the intake process, most inmates go to a "parent unit" for their initial assignment. The male parent units are Cummins, East Arkansas, Grimes, Tucker, and Varner. The McPherson Unit is the female parent unit. The exceptions to the parent unit process are made for prisoners going to boot camp (the boot camp is in the Wrightsville Unit, unincorporated Pulaski County), health reasons, and security reasons. The initial assignments last for at least 60 days. Inmates may be moved to other units based on behavior, institutional needs, job availability, and available space.
