Ensuring the public’s safety, the empowerment of victims, and that offenders will be provided opportunities for positive behavioral change

Board Members & Staff

The Arkansas Post-Prison Transfer Board is composed of seven members appointed from the state at large by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate. Each member is appointed for a term of seven years and serves as a full-time official of the State. Terms are staggered so that the term of one member expires each year.

The Chair of the Board is designated by the Governor and serves as the agency director. The Board annually elects a Vice-Chair and a Secretary to serve as officers who may assume the duties of the Chair pursuant to state law and Board policy.

The Board is supported by a professional staff comprised of Revocation Hearing Judges and employees assigned to Administrative, Pre-Release Services, and Revocation Support Sections.
