The superintendent of the Mississippi Correctional Institute for Women has been replaced with the former community corrections director at the Central Mississippi Correctional Facility. The women’s prison, which was announced as the newest addition to CMCF in March, was led under Latoya Anderson’s authority for just under a year before.
The Legislative Task Force on the Incarceration Construction Fund, charged with making recommendations to the Legislature for improving the state's correctional infrastructure, met for the first time on July 27. The meeting featured two differing visions on the roadmap to improvement, one from architecture firm DLR Group and the other from Kellie Wasko, the state's new secretary of corrections.
