The South Mississippi Correctional, founded in 1989, stands as Mississippi's most recent state prison, situated on 360 acres in Leakesville, Greene County. Its expansive grounds accommodate 16 housing units and offer a maximum capacity of 2,886 beds, catering to men classified across minimum, medium, and protective custody levels.

With authorization for 495 full-time permanent positions and five full-time, time-limited positions, SMCI operates as a crucial entity, providing free inmate labor to Greene County and neighboring municipalities while supporting various state agencies. Inmates are actively engaged in community service, contributing to projects such as the Greene County Road Crew and a mobile work crew, fostering a sense of responsibility and productivity.

This endeavor not only serves as a productive use of inmate labor but also contributes to the institution's self-sustainability by reducing food costs. Additionally, the cultivation of blueberries aligns with promoting healthier menu options, thereby supporting the overall well-being of the inmate population.
