The DCF's transformation from a previously closed facility to a major state institution under the MDOC signifies a shift in its purpose and operations. Initially managed by the Community Corrections division, it served various roles including a Technical Violation Center, a Community Work Center, and a Restitution Center. These functions typically involve community-based programs aimed at addressing certain types of offenders and providing alternatives to incarceration.

As part of its new mandate, Yazoo Correctional now places a strong emphasis on rehabilitation and workforce development for its inmate population. This reflects a broader trend in corrections towards rehabilitation-centered approaches aimed at reducing recidivism and promoting successful reintegration into society upon release.

Among these programs are plans to offer Alcohol and Drug Counseling services, recognizing the importance of addressing substance abuse issues as a key factor in rehabilitation.

Education plays a crucial role in empowering individuals with the skills and knowledge necessary to pursue meaningful employment and contribute positively to their communities upon release.

Overall, the transformation of the Delta Correctional Facility signifies a commitment to a more holistic and rehabilitative approach to corrections. By focusing on rehabilitation and workforce development, the facility aims to not only address the immediate needs of its inmate population but also to promote long-term positive outcomes for individuals and communities alike.
