The Mississippi Department of Corrections issued the following statement.
Mississippi Department of Corrections Commissioner Pelicia E. Hall announced today that she has accepted a position in the private sector and will be leaving the agency in mid-January.
“I have had an amazing opportunity to serve my state and its residents for more than four years thanks to Gov. Phil Bryant,” Hall said. “I am truly excited about the new opportunity I now have because it will allow me to continue being an advocate for criminal justice reform and to support better wages and working conditions for the Department of Corrections employees, for whom I have been honored to serve.”
Hall initially served as acting commissioner for a month before Bryant appointed her in March 2017. Previously, she was the agency’s chief of staff, a position she had held since March 2015.
Hall, an attorney, has about 20 years of legal experience in the government and private sectors in a variety of disciplines. She said more will be revealed about her new role at a later date.
“Since early March 2015, I have been focused on progressively moving the Mississippi Department of Corrections forward,” Hall said. “While there have been many challenges, my administration has kept its focus on that goal.”

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.

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

Don't let the door hit you in the booty on the way out.
So she'll try to tinker with the MDOC from the private sector...good plan!
Good.
Now, lets get a real leader and not from within MDOC.
Hit it sweetheart!! Fisher and yourself done enough. Made a damn mess of DOC. great day you both incompetent people are gone. Bye bye
Perhaps the inmates are upset that she is leaving and that's why they are stabbing each other.
Finally people can see what this Tyrant Fisher has done to public safety of this state. Lives are at stake
Pelicia you have to know you are terrible.
Breaking: Victor Mason seen meeting with Reeves' Transition Team.
Fire everyone in your path to hire a 22 yr old female so she could oversee 50 of the worse men in a pod. That’s how you roll. Now two dead in three days. I hope people can see
OK you arm chair quarterbacks, time to step up and volunteer to take a bite of the sh#t sandwich that is MDOC. It’s an impossible task....my hats off to anyone willing to try.
Get used to saying this: Corrections Commissioner Victor Mason; yes, I'm serious and have it on good authority he's being considered
" Corrections Commissioner Victor Mason", He's lickin his chomps. Gonna be like hunting over a baited/caged field.
Word is Lee Shelborn
Please, someone tell me the last time we had a decent leader at MDOC -- neither Dem nor Rep governors have ever been able to find someone worth a shit. No reason to think that the Little Emperor will be any different.
#Parchman on Twitter is pretty alarming......... The last few days are on par with Jxn......
@ 8:58pm - So you’re saying they’re shooting kids at Parchman?
How do inmates kill and riot while on lockdown? Lockdown was imposed on all corrections since the first inmate death on Sunday in Greene Co. now this one in Parchman? Fake news? What they want the people to believe? It’s Marshal Fisher at his finest. Way to go Fisher. You big dummy. Pelicia bless your heart! You are a fake too. Had no business being in that position anyway. You were placed there by Fisher so he could still control it and you run cover! Right?! You two need to run into the sunset together. Two peas in a pod. Thick as thieves. The list goes on. Hail Tate!!!!
Both the MDOC and MDCPS are two of the lowest funded divisions in the executive branch of Mississippi. Therefore, staff retention is the most challenging issue. Until the Feds get involved and force Mississippi's hand on the matter, no one is going to make a difference in the "management" of those two systems. Personnel vacancies are rampant.....similar to the MS teacher shortage.....but in these agencies, lives are at stake...and when you're short-staffed, you cannot ensure safety. We can all sit back and just watch the clock tick down to when there will be repeated tragedies that trigger federal involvement, and that could have been avoided....but in Mississippi - they will blame "the system" and yawn.
Tater Tot is already starting to clean house of Bryant’s appointees. Three this week? Shame.
6:38, why is this a shame? The governor-elect wants to appoint people who will execute his vision of policy; that said Freeze's departure from Human Services is a loss - he was a great leader at the FBI and was making positive impact at Human Services.
Retention of agency heads solely for the sake of continuity and not performance is the sign of weak leadership and indecision. Now let's see who he appoints...
MDOT?
DoR?
Gaming?
Y'all want Tate to do what Phil-billy did? Like when Phil-Billy kept Epps?
Chris just got caught....he’s no different than most anybody in state government. He fell for the dollar, some fall for the flesh and some or just snorting the cocaine that is government power. You see, down in Mississippi when you don’t have much anyways, power and control if people and organizations becomes just as toxic and addictive. Nothing new, just a bunch of people scrapping over some lousy state executive jobs.
Sheldon for Corrections?........ Or public safety?
Governor Elect: Many of us support you and hope you will make a wise decision for Corrections. Barbour promised a clean sweep at MDOC but was charmed by Epos. It was after Epps subsequent appointment that he was so open with his corruption. Fisher was worthless. And Hall worth little more than Fisher. Get someone from out if state who can bring top people with him to cull the corrections culture. There are many good people working in Community Corrections but their deputy commissioner is a dumba## wanna be social worker who needs to go away.
Here's something you didn't know. These people are not in individual cells today. They're in open quarters like a barracks or a boy scout arena. Lockdown doesn't mean securing people within the confines of their individual cells. Just means they don't go to the lounge, the laundry, the exercise field or the library. And no visitors. Nothing is accomplished by a lockdown.
Boy scout arena?
Fired all the men CO to hire young women. No order behind the wire. I’ve been there I know. Did QB then Greene Co. DOC is a joke. Pelicia tried to compromise with us. We laugh at them all. They made it a joke
4 deaths 4 days.
8:28 - Boy Scout Arena. You know, like when a bunch of scouts go to camp for a week or to some remote retreat to earn badges in canoe and fire-prevention...and sleep in open quarters on flats or bunks. Used to be Camp Tallaha. Not sure what it is now. Point being, these convicts are not two to a cell.
2:40 - aha...back in the day we used to just call it scout camp, the best two weeks of the year for a kid who enjoyed the outdoors.
Now can the public see! Pelicia Hall is about a director to DOC as a fish out of water. Now you know good ole boy politics worked in her favor. Now a damn mess. We have said it for years now. One of these days. This would happen. Fire your men hire the little girls. So they won’t buck the system.
