The Wrightsville Unit is an Arkansas Department of Correction prison in Wrightsville, Arkansas.[1]
Over 5,000 acres (2,000 ha) of land at Wrightsville is dedicated to the raising of cattle and the production of hay.[citation needed]
The land occupied by the unit formerly housed the Negro Boys Industrial School in Wrightsville. There are no markers there that indicate that the boys school existed or that a fatal 1959 fire at the boys school had occurred.[2]
