The Chickasaw Co Correctional is a locally operated low to medium-security regional detention center situated at 130 Lancaster Cir in Houston, MS. This facility houses inmates from multiple surrounding counties that do not have a holding facility or jail, in addition to local detainees. Individuals awaiting trial or sentencing, as well as those serving shorter sentences, typically serve less than five years. Chickasaw Co Correctional accommodates detainees brought in by the Chickasaw County Sheriff's Office, the Mississippi DOC, Houston Police Department, and other nearby law enforcement agencies, including the U.S. Marshal’s Service.

New detainees arrive frequently and may be released on bail, under pretrial supervision, or on their recognizance with a commitment to appear in court. Those who remain in custody receive essential amenities, including secure accommodations, meals, and access to necessary services. To review recent arrest records for Mississippi, you can access public records here.

The CCRCF serves as a detention center for pretrial male and female inmates awaiting arraignment and trial, alongside adult medium-custody males serving sentences and minimum-custody inmates engaged in daily work release programs within the community. Inmates at CCRCF have access to various programs aimed at rehabilitation and skill development. These include substance abuse treatment, fatherhood programs, horticulture, and literacy classes. In addition, inmates can participate in computer and typing courses and pursue educational goals such as earning a GED and adult basic education while incarcerated. The facility also offers a bible college and discipleship program to support spiritual development.

After processing, inmates are assigned to a housing area based on classification. Compliance with jail rules typically results in a lower classification and more privileges, while rule violations or additional charges lead to a higher classification and fewer privileges. Inmates serving as trustees within the jail undertake various tasks, including cooking, laundry, and commissary management, often receiving minimal compensation or sentence reduction for their services.

The jail is designed with "pods," featuring a large common area with affixed tables and attached seats, and individual cells typically on two levels. Inmates spend certain times in their cells and other times congregating in the pod for activities like playing cards, games, reading, or watching television. Movement outside the pod, such as trips to the commissary, library, or recreation area, occurs under the constant supervision of unarmed correctional officers. The environment in the county jail is considered less stressful than that of a prison because the sentences are much shorter.

The jail offers a phone program for outbound calls only, with inmates unable to receive incoming calls. Accepting collect calls can be expensive, sometimes exceeding $10 per call. Alternatively, setting up an account through a third-party phone company may entail high fees per minute of usage. Click here for discounts on inmate calls, especially if the communication with your inmate is frequent. It's important to remember that all phone calls are recorded, and discussing sensitive legal matters over these lines is discouraged.

Books and magazines ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. The Jail enforces this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.

Inmate workers are chosen based on conduct and cooperation with staff. Participation in the community service program can sometimes reduce sentences. Commissary is available weekly, with orders submitted via kiosk two days in advance. On holidays, there may be increased spending limits. Upon receiving commissary items, inmates must present their ID, check their order, and sign for it in the presence of the commissary employee. Indigent inmates are provided with all essential basic hygiene items including USPS stamps and writing materials.

CCRCF provides several inmate programs to facilitate successful reintegration into society upon release. These programs include long and short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation, ABE/GED programs, literacy classes, and discipleship programs. Additionally, inmates have the opportunity to participate in typing and computer courses, as well as bible college classes. The facility also maintains an inmate library and horticulture program to further support inmate education and growth.
