SB 2205 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Restitution centers; transition to prerelease centers.

SB 2205 directs Mississippi's Department of Corrections to convert four specific restitution centers (Greenwood, Flowood, Hinds County, and Pascagoula) into prerelease reentry centers. It replaces facilities where inmates previously performed unpaid work with programs designed to prepare incarcerated individuals for release. The bill requires centers to provide mandatory services - including housing, job training, counseling, healthcare, and drug treatment - for inmates within one year of release. This policy change directly affects inmates nearing release, aiming to improve community reintegration through structured support before discharge.
