Preferred term

Tucker State Farm  

Definition

  • The Tucker Farm Unit of the Arkansas State Penitentiary, originally known as Tucker State Farm, is infamous in corrections history for its long-term pattern of prisoner abuse. Land for the farm was purchased by the state in 1916, although it was not until 1933 that the entire Arkansas penal system moved to the farm.
