Sexual acts between incarcerated persons and law enforcement; prohibit.

HB 889 prohibits any sexual penetration or other sexual act between law enforcement officers, correctional staff, or individuals with custodial authority and people who are incarcerated, on probation/parole, or detained. The bill amends Mississippi law to make such acts a felony punishable by up to $5,000 in fines, five years in prison, or both. It directly affects correctional facility employees, sheriffs, constables, and other officials who interact with people in custody. The law applies regardless of whether the incarcerated person consented to the act.
