Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Jackson Division Michelle A. Sutphin, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Mississippi William C. Lamar and United States Attorney for the Southern District of Mississippi Mike Hurst today release the following statement:
“The FBI and United States Attorney’s Offices are aware of the allegations regarding Mississippi’s prisons. Allegations of the violation and deprivation of civil rights, as well as criminal activity, continue to be taken very seriously by our offices. To report federal criminal violations to the FBI, go to https://tips.fbi.gov. To file a complaint to DOJ’s Civil Rights Division about conditions within the prisons, call 877-218-5228 or 202-514-6255.”
Mississippi has had a problem with the prisons for my lifetime(67 years) and longer! To stop the violence the pay for the correction officers has to be increased to a point that there are no staffing issues. This will do two things. First the prisoners will be safer and so will the officers. Secondly it should cut down on the amount of contraband being brought in by the underpaid officers. Will prisons ever be completely safe? No because the prisons are filled with evil violent predators!! The best suggestion is “don’t do the crime so you don’t have to do the time!”
