McPherson Unit is located in the city of Newport, Arkansas which has a population of 7,879 (as of 2016) residents. This prison has a capacity of 971 inmates, which means this is the maximum amount of beds per facility. McPherson Unit began processing inmates once the original construction was completed and service started in 1998 but may have been expanded or renovated since that time, to accommodate the growing prison population. Prisoners are housed in separate areas depending on the crimes they committed, their current risk assessment, and their behavior.

If you have a family or loved one that is currently incarcerated at McPherson Unit, the first thing you should do is contact the prison for information on the inmate. Based on the information you are provided, you would then contact either a criminal defense lawyer or a bail bond service. They will provide you with vital information which can be used to defend an individual and in a lot of cases get them released from detention while awaiting trial.
