CMCF is located on 171 acres and includes thirteen housing units with a capacity of 3,557 beds.  Offenders sentenced to the Mississippi Department of Corrections are brought to CMCF where they are processed through the Receiving and Classification unit.   Every level of custody is represented and depending on where your inmate is designated (and a year sentence is usually minimum or low unless the inmate has violence in their history), you will relaxed visitation, not through a glass divider.

limited contact

Since the time frame is so long, we would advise you to contact the "unit team secretary" and ask what, if anything you need to do prior to visiting so that there are no issues when you arrive.

Depends on where and what custody level the inmate is in. The higher the custody level the most strict the visitation

yes

I was actually there for three months, the visitation is in a room with tables and chairs, a platform for a single guard and some vending machines. We were able to hug and kiss upon arrival and departure. We held hands under the table the entire visit. The visitors go through a very vigorous and intrusive "pat down". They are carefully looking for people trying to smuggle in contraband.  They allowed two hours, more if it's not too busy. Inmates

Yes

An inmate can block you from visiting but little else. Inmates have no control over their administrative designations whatsoever - the jurisdiction assigns a number that is it.

Visitation allows for babies to come along with a diaper bag that is subject to heavy inspection. Bring milk, diapers and a change of clothes but don't try and sneak something in, or you'll end up with your loved one.
