  3. MDOC Update • Remained in compliance with Gates v. Collier court order regarding county jail overcrowding. This compliance has been consistent for two years. • MDOC has achieved American Correctional Association (ACA) Accreditation for the entire South Mississippi Correctional Institution and is being recommended for accreditation at the Central Mississippi Correctional Facility.

  4. MDOC Update • Significant progress has been made at the Mississippi State Penitentiary and all functions of the Community Corrections division towards ACA Accreditation. • MDOC has implemented a new objective classification system for offenders. • MDOC has enhanced security by implementing a Security Threat Group (gangs) Management Program.

  5. MDOC Update • MDOC has implemented a Drug and Contraband Reduction plan to stop the introduction of illegal contraband and drugs being brought in to the prison system. • MDOC has successfully integrated HIV/Aids positive inmates into treatment, educational and vocational programs. • With support from the Mississippi Legislature (HB 1121 of the 2002 Regular Session, MS Code Section 47-5-901), the MDOC will be able to more accurately reflect the total number of inmates coming into the correctional system by making payment to counties only upon receipt of certified sentencing orders.

  6. MDOC Update • With support from the Mississippi Legislature (HB 1121 of the 2002 Regular Session, MS Code Section 47-5-158) the MDOC is implementing a new Comprehensive Offender Management System. • The MDOC Division of Community Services was renamed Community Corrections by 2002 legislation, bringing this department’s title in line with the vast majority of other states’ corresponding Community Corrections Divisions.

  7. MDOC Update • The Community Corrections Division was reorganized effective November 1, 2001, from four (4) regions to three (3) regions. More cost-effective delivery of services and consistency in operations resulted from this reorganization. • The MDOC has been awarded a $2 million dollar federal grant to implement a pilot offender re-entry program. This program will provide offenders with additional support in the community to successfully complete their sentence and reduce the likelihood of their return to the correctional system.

  8. MDOC Update • Mississippi Prison Agriculture Enterprises completed construction of a new feed mill operation that is providing fresher feed to livestock at a lower cost while at the same time reducing the costs for corn grown by MPAE. The feed mill has initially saved more than $71,000 on swine and poultry feed costs. • The MDOC Division of Victim Services assisted more than 660 crime victims with information related to offenders during FY 2002.

  9. MDOC Update • MDOC state inmates in the three state prisons, 17 community work centers and 4 restitution centers contributed more than $13.6 million in free labor in FY 2002. • On July 1, 2002, there were 629 offenders serving as county jail support, sheriff designated trusty workers or participants in a joint county/state work program. These offenders had the potential to contribute approximately $25,915 in free labor for the day; annualized the free labor contributions for these offenders would reach approximately $6.7 million.

  10. MDOC Update • MDOC has eliminated a total of 252 full-time positions in three years, based on legislative mandates. • FY 2001 - 104 positions eliminated. • FY 2002 - 98 positions eliminated. • FY 2003 -50 positions eliminated. • Additionally, MDOC has eliminated 85 part-time positions in FY 2003.

  11. MDOC Update • The inmate to Correctional Officer ratio in FY 2002 was 5 to 1. The national average inmate to Correctional Officer ratio is 4 to 1. • The composite average annual cost of incarcerating an inmate in a state prison bed in FY 2002 was $13,908 compared to $14,105 in FY 2001 and $15,662 in FY 2000. • This $13,908 average annual cost of incarceration compares to the $628 cost for an offender being supervised in Community Corrections.
