In the quest to document and build a database of Bureau of Prisons radio systems, there have been some BoP facilites that we just don't have any information on. Some are located in rural areas that just may not have any listeners nearby. This is probably the case for the Federal Correctional Complex in Forrest City, Arkansas.
I happened to be in nearby Memphis, TN and made a side trip over to see what I could find about the FCC Forrest City's radio system. Here is what I found:
Federal Correctional Complex Forrest City
Motorola Type II SmartNet
System ID - a733
Base - 406.8125
Step - 12.5
Offset - 380
406.8125407.0125
407.4125408.2125
408.8125409.6750
410.5250The system is using P-25 digital voice and seems to be very busy.
This system information will be added to the Fed Files BoP Database that is available for download on the Monitoring Times website. It is in the "Readers Only" section of the site, and requires a password found in the latest issue of Monitoring Times magazine.
