Annual inspection of the infirmary at the State Penitentiary at Parchman; require State Department of Health to conduct.

SB 2704 requires the Mississippi State Department of Health to conduct annual inspections of the infirmary (medical facility) at Parchman State Penitentiary starting July 1, 2025. The inspections will assess structural safety, environmental conditions, sanitation, and medical care infrastructure, including water systems, pest control, and facility maintenance. The Department must submit a written report to the Governor, Corrections Commissioner, and prison leadership within 30 days of each inspection. This law directly affects Parchman’s medical operations and the State Department of Health’s oversight responsibilities, with no specified impact on other facilities or inmates beyond the infirmary.
