MDOC seizes more contraband.

The Mississippi Department of Corrections issued the following statement and pictures.


Half of MDOC’s System now searched under Operation Zero Tolerance

With the latest major shakedown at Jefferson County Regional Correctional Facility in Fayette, the Mississippi Department of Corrections now has searched half of the facilities in the prison system under Operation Zero Tolerance.

Officers saw an unexpected, yet common, sight in corrections during the latest shakedown – a bag of contraband falling from an inmate’s body cavity –Thursday.

The overall search of the inmates and the facility itself otherwise yielded what MDOC officials consider an average amount of contraband for a facility its size and its role. The facility, one of 15 regionals in the state, serves as a work site for Mississippi Prison Industries Corp. (MPIC) and holds 279 inmates, one short of the maximum number.

Aside from the bag of suspected drugs hidden on the inmate, officers’ find also included 24 cellphones, 26 cellphone charges, 42 pairs of earbuds, nine MP3 players, five handheld radios, 1 Android tablet, six power packs, six cellphone batteries, free world clothing, and five-plus bags of marijuana, spice, and tobacco.

Last week, Harrison and George Counties Communities Work Centers (CWC) were searched on July 26 and July 27, respectively. Several inmates at George County CWC were cited for rule violations as a result of the seizure of contraband, including 9 cellphones, 23 chargers, $268 in cash, tobacco, and hydrocodone tablets.

“Now that we have reached the halfway mark in the number of facilities searched, these shakedowns have been revealing in some cases,” Commissioner Pelicia E. Hall said. “For instance, they have reaffirmed to us the lengths in which inmates will go to hide contraband. They also have shown us, among other things, which facility is and is not practicing zero tolerance.”

The remainder of the 36 facilities will be searched in the coming months, Hall said. She began the shakedowns in early March to slow the flow of contraband for the safety of staff and inmates.

Other shakedowns have occurred at Chickasaw County Regional Correctional Facility, Alcorn County Regional Correctional Facility, Winston-Choctaw County Regional Correctional Facility, Bolivar County Regional Correctional Facility, Washington County Regional Correctional Facility, Stone County Regional Correctional Facility, George County Correctional Facility, South Mississippi Correctional Institution, Hinds County Restitution Center, Carroll-Montgomery County Regional Correctional Facility, Wilkinson County Correctional Facility, East Mississippi Correctional Facility, Marshall County Correctional Facility, Yazoo County Regional Correctional Facility, and Holmes-Humphreys County Regional Correctional Facility.

And somebody on this blogsite the other day recommended the State take control of the Hinds lockup?

I see a bottle of Gorilla Glue. If he'd used it, the bag would not have fallen out of his 'body cavity'.

Is that a bag of Gorilla Glue #4?

Do they really think they are getting all of it? The guards are in on it too. They get paid too little and their is just to much money to be made dealing in contraband.

Props to whoever keistered that old school Panasonic "Walkman" CD player into the joint. Does this mean someone else is sitting on a collection of CD's? I don't know what's more impressive, that they could get away with concealing a 6"x6" yellow cd player somewhere in a cell or that they could find one to begin with.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
