The Central Mississippi Correctional Facility (CMCF) was established in 1986 and constructed in Rankin County, MS. CMCF is located on 171 acres and includes thirteen housing units with a capacity of 3,665 beds. Offenders sentenced to the Mississippi Department of Corrections are brought to CMCF where they are processed through the Receiving and Classification unit. Each offender is thoroughly screened and tested for STD, HIV, and other medical conditions, provided a psychiatric evaluation and questioned regarding their educational level. The results of these tests, along with the offender’s conviction and institutional behavior, help establish the classification of each inmate.

Of the three state prisons, CMCF is the only facility to house female inmates. CMCF houses females classified to all custody levels, including minimum and medium security, Close custody and death row. All female offenders sentenced to death are housed at CMCF.

The prison also houses minimum and medium custody male offenders, as well as some maximum custody offenders (Close custody). All male offenders sentenced to death are housed at the Mississippi State Penitentiary.

CMCF I is a very diverse area with an inmate capacity of 2125 offenders. A majority of CMCF work program offenders are housed and classified from Area I.

Area I also oversees the security operations of two medical clinics and a Special Management Unit for female suicide precaution offenders.

Mission Statement

The South Mississippi Correctional Institution (SMCI) was established in 1989. It is the state’s newest state prison and the first prison in the state to receive accreditation from the American Correctional Association. SMCI was also the first state prison in Mississippi to be accredited by the National Commission on Correctional Health Care. SMCI is located on 360 acres at Leakesville, MS in Greene County. There are 16 housing units at SMCI with a capacity of 3,282 beds.

SMCI houses male offenders who are classified minimum, medium and maximum security levels.

SMCI is the only state institution with a para-military “Boot Camp Program”. The Regimented Inmate Discipline Program seeks to divert offenders from criminal behavior and instill a work ethic by incorporating a variety of rehabilitative and treatment elements as well as community service work projects. The foundation for the RID Program is based on the premise of instilling discipline, respect for authority, and self-esteem through a tough, structured “boot camp” environment.

The RID Program consists of four phases lasting approximately five weeks each. There are eight treatment program components offered; five are mandatory and three optional. The mandatory components are: Discipline Therapy, Psychological Counseling, Alcohol and Drug Counseling, Pre Release Counseling, and Aftercare Strategies. Adult Basic Education, Discipleship Study, and Community Service Work Projects are optional treatment components offered.
