Historically, Cummins housed Arkansas's male death row until 1986, after which it was transferred to the Tucker Maximum Security Unit and later to the Varner Unit. The female death row is currently located at the McPherson Unit. As one of the state's "parent units" for male prisoners, Cummins serves as one of several units of initial assignment for processed male prisoners.
