According to SalineRiverChronicle.com, after dealing with regular business including financial and project reports, the Southeast Arkansas Intermodal Authority Board spent a large portion of their meeting listening to and discussing ideas concerning the construction of a regional jail that would hold county and state prisoners. The concept was brought up by Drew County Judge Robert Akin and Bradley County Judge Keith Neely.

According to the Judges, there has been a meeting and discussion about the possibility of building a 150 -200 bed jail that would serve Bradley, Cleveland, Drew and Lincoln counties. The facility would be built in a location easy for all four counties to access and the intermodal site or land close to the site has been talked about. There will be a need for 10-20 acres with full utility services available. No final decisions have been made and no financial plan has been approved or put in place.
