The Mississippi Department of Corrections issued the following statement.
The Mississippi Department of Corrections continues a statewide lockdown for the safety of the public, staff, and inmates.
Therefore, movement of inmates is limited to only emergencies. As a result, there will be no visitation this weekend.
Interview and screening for potential correctional officers on Saturday at the three state prisons won’t be affected.
All
available resources are being used to address disturbances occurring
around the state. The MDOC is being responsive in investigating the
violence.
Because
of the active investigations, the agency is limited in providing
additional information. Reporting allegations is irresponsible and could
further jeopardize the safety of officers, inmates, and the public. (KF: The problem is, PH, we just don't trust you or the information you provide. When you clamp down on all information, don't blame us for going elsewhere for information, especially when it winds up being true. For example, I heard a credible allegation yesterday there were more deaths but nooo..... one of the news directors told me that MDOC had assured them only one. Now it's four dead.)
The safety of staff, inmates, and the public is always the agency’s focus.
Kingfish note: No mention of the inmate deaths in the MDOC press releases or on the MDOC FB page this week BUT the resignation of the Commissioner AND this lockdown notice are mentioned.
Tate, tell her to leave immediately when you assume office.
The
MDOC will keep the public informed as information becomes available
that does not further jeopardize the safety of its institutions.

Amen Kingfish. This is just a portion of stuff that happens within MDOC. Alot goes unknown and unheard of to the public. I know first hand from being in there. Mississippi is the last on everything. Even structure and organization in a "prison system" that does nothing to rehabilitate or help inmates really trying to do better. I never understood how can you get sentenced to serve a term, do your time and continue to be punished the rest of your life? Seems like double jeopardy to me. The system there have within MDOC is sad. Put it this way. I was in there and have far more education that the damn wardens. Dont get me started on the correctional offer turned case manager, turned captain. 😂🤣😂It's a joke in there. The thing you learn in MDOC is how to be a smarter criminal.
From I can gather on Facebook. The gangster disciples and vice lords are at war. I feel certain it will happen on the outside too. I don’t really care though. Just fewer mouths for my tax dollars to feed.
Weren't all prisons put on lockdown this past Sunday? How is it if they are on lockdown, the inmates can go on killing each other? Bring back chain gangs. That will calm things down.
Does this include conjugal visits?
It’s called compromise and War isn’t won with compromise. They purged DOC most competent well trained physical statue Officers. Replaced with their friends and anyone that was of age to work. These Officers we scared timid and incompetent themselves so they feared the Commissioner and Fisher. So they were controlled. They are so ill staffed and trained. It’s a matter of time before this conduct is onto our streets and neighborhoods for the very same reason has bleed into LE depts. very sad day for MS.
Epps stopped conjugal visits (except involving guards) six years ago.
#5 today. Jackson must be jealous.
6:36 and 8:05. May very well be a gang war brewing between GD and VL. May also very well be on the outside as stated above. Problem tends to be the collateral damage which we will also continue to pay for. Chain gangs will never happen as it was deemed cruel and unusual punishment as well as demeaning which I'm not in agreement with that as I don't give a rats ass about that. Even if allowed that would require even more personnel that the state doesn't have nor do I think we can get. This based on my reading of the employees getting themselves into trouble by wanting to be friends to avoid assault or being plants to gain access for contraband, etc. I know that sounds like I subscribe to conspiracies. Anyway, will be hard for whomever enters the system which at this point seems to limited to the Victor Mason types. God help us.
8:05 - this is super-duper , we really mean it this time, lockdown!
6:35, If you were in prison you are the one to blame for that. You broke the law. It isn't the job of anyone else to work to change your criminal thoughts. That is up to you. If you get out it is still up to you to keep yourself from going back. If you decide to go back to your criminal ways you should be put back where you belong.
We didn't do anything to put you in prison. That was your own fault. If you go back to prison it will be your fault again.
Who knew that a chronically underpaid, understaffed, majority female corrections officer staff in a male prison could lead to problems? Apparently no one in the governor's office or the legislature.
Scapegoats must be determined and the needed documentation compiled to nail them while leaving the key people's hands lily white. When all the ducks are in a row the public will be notified of the trooth.
The units that are rioting don’t have individual cells. Basically a large open room full of bunks. Lock down is just placing all of the inmates in a large open room to let them fight it out amongst themselves.
@10:49. Never once blamed anyone for anything I've done. Not just in my post but ever. You post your silly ass comment not knowing who I am, what I did or didnt do. 🤔 I know your type. You're a saint. Your shit doesn't stink huh? I stated facts on my post. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion true enough. But it's people in there that are not guilty, just as it's people that are in there for protecting their loved ones. You're living proof of a one tracked mind human being. Checkmate 😁
Heck, if it's a gang war, just give them all clubs, turn them loose in the recreation yard, and watch the taxpayers save a fortune in incarceration and medical costs.
@3:55 why not just go full North Korea and start sentencing people to death for speeding tickets? We don’t even have to have a trial, the cops can just start executing people on the side of the road. That will surely clean up all the violence.
Looks like some of the people in Jackson are already executing people on the side of the road. Haven't heard of them having a trial yet.
