Madison-Rankin District Attorney Bubba Bramlett issued the following statement.
Madison and Rankin Counties’ District Attorney Bubba Bramlett announced that Ernest Mayfield, an inmate at Central Mississippi Correctional Facility (CMCF), was sentenced to the maximum allowed, 30 years, day for day, for sexual battery by Circuit Court Judge Steve Ratcliff.
Mayfield, a habitual offender with two prior convictions of Methamphetamine possession, was given the maximum sentence possible by Judge Ratcliff.
On September 17, 2021, Mayfield, who had only recently been booked into the CMCF a few days prior, broke into a female employee’s office at the correctional facility and sexually assaulted her.
The case went to trial on April 30, 2024. During the two-day trial, the State called the victim, multiple forensic experts, and other witnesses to the stand before the jury returned a guilty verdict.
District Attorney Bramlett stated, “I appreciate all the hard work from both my office and multiple law enforcement agencies to secure a guilty verdict in this matter. We are glad to put this lifelong habitual criminal in prison for the next thirty years.”

Imagine if Hinds County/Jackson had law enforcement.
a feral-
he was in CMCF literally only 2 days before he attacked her!!
Hinds and Jackson each have law enforcement that is actually decent. Jody Owens is trying cases and gets convictions. But then, Winston Kidd, Faye “how did Robert Smith ever beat me” Peterson, and Adrienne Wooten get involved and an arrested, convicted felon gets six months probation for his sixth felony in three years along with an apology from the Court for imposing such a lengthy sentence
What is wrong with people? Please parents, be involved in the live of your children and their friends. Make sure the know what is right and what is wrong. There are way too many kids with too much time on their hands!
Someone needs to mentor this young man, give him some love and rehabilitate him. (spoken like a true liberal)
So inmates at this facility roam around with no supervision?
Reminds me of Madison County incarcerated Lawyer Gilmer attacking a female who brought him his lunch tray. Those in charge of these institutional settings have an absolute duty to protect people who are in proximity to these perverts and whackos.
Females have NO PLACE in a men's prison.
The Mayor of Chicago said its all Nixon's fault.
Lackadaisical guards and a breakdown in protocols. Who was monitoring the inmate?
2:23 adding no windows or panic button, incident waiting to happen and sadly it did! Contact Morgan and Morgan, a law suit usually gets real attention!
Sheila Jones I fixed it for you.
" Please parent, be involved..."
10:40am nailed it.
That's an extremely beautiful young man. ...an absolutely perfect face, and a thick bull neck. ...such a waste. He could be facing a life of making someone very happy - or several someones: a wife, two mistresses, and several down-low regulars (if the Rankin County Blue Collar Contractor Model were in-play: it seems to keep a lot of somebodies happy, for the most part).
Instead, he's going to waste-away in prison. If Jackson leadership had not been so focused on flying to Paris and dining at Char, maybe community leaders could have recruited him into a career pipeline of some sort. Someone looking forward to earning a good living, is less likely to make stupid choices. Career paths can, and should, start in adolescence. Instead, media glorifies negative life trajectories.
There are several Jackson men's groups attempting to provide the sort of "wrap-around" mentoring young men need. It's a pity one of those groups could not have saved this one.
This individual, and thousands of others like him, are the product of incentivizing and rewarding people who produce children but never parent them. It is not the place of society, government, or anyone other than the parents of children to instill in children the morals and sense of right and wrong that are vital for a working society.
It is not the place of public education to instill morality and civility. That should have been done long before a child reaches the age to begin attending school.
Failure of the family is the precursor to the failure of a society.
Failing to instill morality and an understanding of consequences for actions has led to the current explosion of animalistic criminals plaguing us now.
Talking about a problem without putting forth a suggestion of a solution is simply whining, so here's this:
Put in place some draconian social restraints that will no longer allow for irresponsible individuals to procreate.
Stop subsidizing this practice. Stop feeding able bodied people who refuse to feed themselves. Let some of them starve and do without for a while.
No tax payer funded assistance should be greater than what an individual can make working a minimum wage job.
Stop allowing non productive persons to vote. If you don not contribute, you shouldn't have a say in how things are done, and you surely should not have a say in how taxpayer money is spent.
Earn your right to vote and help decide how things are done.
End pandering for the votes of the people who are wrecking our society.
I could go on, but that's probably enough for now.
@10:47 - those are terrible solutions that are worse than the problem. State mandated sterilizations and earned voting privileges are about as anti-America as it gets. Why do you want to turn this great country into China?
@11:13
Not China,
Just a viable nation with sustainable rules.
If I remember, when this nation was founded it was only landowners who had the vote. We progressed, for the good, from there. We have passed the point of progression for the betterment of our society.
It is no favor to anyone to promote sloth and irresponsibility.
Our nation is quickly approaching the point where there are more citizens who do not contribute than those who do. Increasing the tax burden of those who are productive to support those who are not, simply to pander for the votes of the nonproductive, is a recipe for disaster.
Yes, earn the right to vote. Provide something of worth to the country you live in, put some skin in the game. Join the military, etc.
Those who simply have their livelihood provided to them, who do not earn their way, should not have any say in how things are run. For clarification, I am speaking of those who could work, but choose no to.
How many children that a person is not able to support should the productive segment of society be responsible for? An unlimited number?
@ 11:13
Just as an aside, I resent being called anti-American. I have shed blood, my own and that of our enemies, both here and abroad, in the defense of America.
I see our working people struggling under an unfair tax burden that is, in large part, used to pander to the non working and non productive.
I, and a lot of others who have worked long and hard, paid our taxes and served our nation, are afraid of seeing our great nation implode under the yoke of insurmountable debt. A debt that in large part is money that was spent to pander to those who do not contribute.
Like it or not, 1:23 is right.
But we are a nation that would much rather virtue-signal than be actually do the hard work to be virtuous.
And until being virtuous becomes monetized, no elected official will ever support any portion of it.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am tired of all the fancy talk about "making society better and - spend time and have discussions with your children." I don't care if he was purple, pink or blue......or if the next one is purple or blue. Arrest them, convict them, put their butts in jail and move on to the next "misunderstood" person....arrest, convict, and put his/her butt in jail.
Why do we have to pay for this animal to be fed and housed for 30 years?
