Randall L. Williams Correctional Facility

The Randall L. Williams Correctional Facility, located in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, is a key component of the Arkansas Department of Corrections. Established in 1990, this facility has served the state for over three decades. It was named to honor Randall L. Williams, a former Jefferson County Circuit Judge and Arkansas Board of Corrections chairperson, recognizing his contributions to the criminal justice system.

The facility, which has a maximum capacity of 562 inmates, is known for its focus on rehabilitation and re-entry programs. It offers educational opportunities such as the General Educational Development (GED) program, aimed at helping inmates gain foundational academic skills. For individuals struggling with addiction, the substance abuse treatment program provides crucial support to help build healthier futures.

One of its standout initiatives is the Paws in Prison program. This unique effort pairs inmates with shelter dogs to provide mutual rehabilitation; inmates gain responsibility and vocational skills while the dogs benefit from increased adaptability. Other notable programs include the Think Legacy reentry initiative and Workforce Alliance for Growth in the Economy (WAGE), which equip inmates with valuable life and work skills to prepare them for reintegration into society.
