Universal Citation: MS Code of Rules 29-201-1.5
Current through September 24, 2024

The Board operates independently of the Department of Corrections. The Board Members are legislated positions and answer to the Governor. The Board is funded by a separate line item within the appropriation for the Department of Corrections. The staff is composed of employees of the Board as well as employees of Mississippi Department of Corrections.

The Department of Corrections provides space to conduct hearings at its three major facilities, MSP (Parchman), CMCF (RankinCounty), and SMCI (GreeneCounty). The Department of Corrections provides inmate's master files, computer information, and other pertinent information to the Board on inmates being considered for parole, revocation, or clemency.

The Board has no statutory authority over operations of the correctional system. The Department of Corrections has sole authority as to where inmates are housed, program assignments, designation of trustees, granting of leaves, computation of parole eligibility, disciplinary actions and supervision of parolees.
