Mississippi’s largest county is no longer using a section of its jail that has been plagued with security problems that include fights and escapes
Mississippi's largest county is no longer using a section of its jail that has been plagued by fights, escapes and other security problems. Hinds County Sheriff Tyree Jones said Monday that 200 inmates were transferred last week from Pod A at the Raymond Detention Center to the Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility, which is nearly 150 miles to the north and is run by the private prison company CoreCivic.
“That is one of our worst pods at the detention center, and I think that it’s pretty much on record that that particular pod was not secure, and it was one of our most unsafe areas within the facility,” Jones told news outlets. In July 2022, U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves ordered a rare takeover of the jail in Raymond after he said deficiencies in supervision and staffing led to “a stunning array of assaults, as well as deaths.
