Arkansas Correctional School


Arkansas Correctional School, previously the Arkansas Department of Correction School District, is the education system serving the Arkansas Department of Correction prisons and the Arkansas Department of Community Correction facilities. The district opened in 1973 when Act 279 was passed by the Arkansas General Assembly. The agency has its headquarters within the Pine Bluff Complex in Pine Bluff.
Starting at the beginning of the 1997–98 school year, ADC inmates without high school diplomas and GEDs are required to take ACS classes.
