Mississippi's Administrative Remedy Program has two procedural rules that end more cases than anything else. The first: your initial letter must contain the phrase "this is a request for administrative remedy" -- word for word. Leave it out and the request is rejected, not for substance, but for form. The second: after you receive the Step 2 response, you have only five calendar days to postmark your Step 3 appeal to the Commissioner. Not five days to file locally. Five days to get it in the mail with a postmark.
Those two rules -- the required phrase and the postmark deadline -- are where Mississippi's ARP catches people who did everything else right.
The program runs through three steps: Step 1 to the Legal Claims Adjudicator, Step 2 to the Superintendent or designee, and Step 3 to the Commissioner of Corrections. All submissions go through the Inmate Legal Assistance Program (ILAP) office, which handles ARP requests as legal mail. All deadlines are in calendar days.
The governing documents are MDOC Inmate Handbook Chapter VIII (2023) and Standard Operating Procedure 20-08-01, Grievance Procedures -- Offender.
Why the Process Matters: The PLRA
The Prison Litigation Reform Act of 1995, 42 U.S.C. section 1997e(a), requires you to exhaust all available administrative remedies before a federal court will hear a lawsuit about prison conditions. In Mississippi, that means completing all three steps of the ARP -- through the Commissioner's final decision -- before filing suit. If you stop at Step 1 or Step 2, your remedies are not exhausted.
The Supreme Court in Woodford v. Ngo (2006) held that proper exhaustion requires following all procedural rules. Miss the 30-day filing window, omit the required phrase, file a multiple complaint, or miss the 5-day Step 3 postmark deadline, and your case may be dismissed in federal court.
All days in Mississippi's ARP are calendar days.
Overview of Mississippi's ARP
The ARP is available to all inmates committed to MDOC custody. It covers:
- Any policy within an institution or facility
- Any action involving an inmate or employee of an institution or facility
- Any incident occurring within an institution or facility
- Any condition in an institution or facility
The ARP also covers complaints about the quality of healthcare services -- there is no separate medical grievance track. All medical complaints go through the same three-step ARP.
The ARP process is confidential. No copies of grievances and no adverse references to any grievance may be placed in an inmate's unit or central file.
The ILAP Office: How All ARPs Are Submitted
Every ARP submission and every ARP appeal must be submitted through the ILAP (Inmate Legal Assistance Program) office. ILAP handles ARP requests as legal mail.
To submit any ARP document: complete an ILAP request form indicating ARP or ARP appeal pickup and the deadline date. Place the completed form in the ILAP box before 0700 hours on the assigned pickup day. ILAP then handles the mailing.
This routing applies at every step. Do not attempt to submit ARP documents outside the ILAP system.
Filing the Initial ARP Request
Filing deadline: Within **30 calendar days** of the incident. Informal attempts are encouraged but not required.
How to file: Write a letter to the Superintendent/Deputy Commissioner, in care of the Legal Claims Adjudicator. Submit through the ILAP office.
Required elements of the letter:
- Must contain the phrase: **"this is a request for administrative remedy"** -- word for word. If this phrase is absent, the request will be rejected. No exceptions.
- Present as many facts as possible: who, what, when, where, and how.
- Be as brief as possible.
- One incident per request. Multiple complaints in a single request will be rejected.
- State the specific relief sought.
Keep a copy. The original letter becomes part of the administrative record and will not be returned to you. The facility will not provide copies. Make a copy before you submit.
ARP Screening: Acceptance or Rejection
The ARP Director (or Legal Claims Adjudicator) screens all requests before they are assigned to Step 1. You will be notified of acceptance or rejection via Form ARP-1.
Grounds for rejection:
- Relief sought is beyond MDOC's power to grant
- Complaint concerns an action not yet taken or decision not yet made
- More than 30 calendar days have elapsed since the event
- Request seeks remedy for more than one incident
- Does not contain the required phrase "this is a request for administrative remedy"
If rejected for technical reasons or matters of form: You have **5 calendar days** from the rejection date to file a corrected grievance.
If unclear or too much attached material: May be returned with a request for clarity or summarization on one additional page. Five days to correct and refile after notification.
If you refuse to cooperate with the inquiry: The request may be cancelled with the lack of cooperation noted on Form ARP-1 and returned to you.
Step 1: Legal Claims Adjudicator
Once your request is accepted, the Legal Claims Adjudicator assigns it to the first step respondent.
Response deadline: The Step 1 respondent must respond within **15 calendar days** of the date the request is referred by the Legal Claims Adjudicator.
If no Step 1 response is received by the 15-day due date: The Legal Claims Adjudicator automatically processes the grievance to Step 2. You will be notified in writing that the grievance automatically advanced.
Once accepted, you must use the ARP envelope furnished with the Step 1 response to continue the procedure. Fill in the requested information on the envelope before inserting forms (the forms are self-carbon). You may tuck, tape, or staple the envelope closed. Do not glue the envelope.
Step 2: Superintendent or Designee
If you are dissatisfied with the Step 1 response, or if the grievance was automatically advanced to Step 2, you may request Step 2 review.
Filing deadline: Must be received in the Legal Claims Adjudicator's office within **5 calendar days** of your receipt of the Step 1 response.
How to file: Use Form ARP-1 to indicate your reasons for dissatisfaction and your request for Step 2 review. There is no need to rewrite the original letter -- the original is available to all reviewers at each step. State only your reasons for dissatisfaction with the Step 1 response. Submit through ILAP.
Response deadline: Superintendent or designee responds within **25 calendar days** of the Legal Claims Adjudicator's receipt of the Step 2 request.
Step 3: Commissioner's Review -- Final
If you are dissatisfied with the Step 2 response, you may appeal to the Commissioner of Corrections through the ARP Administrator.
Filing deadline: The appeal must be **postmarked within 5 calendar days** of the date of the Step 2 response. This is a postmark deadline -- not a filing deadline at the facility. The package must physically be in the mail within 5 calendar days.
What to include: All appropriate documents and responses from Step 1 and Step 2. All prior forms and responses must accompany the appeal.
Where to send: Mail directly to:
ARP Administrator
MDOC
723 North President Street
Jackson, Mississippi 39202
Response deadline: Commissioner or designee responds -- notification postmarked within **40 calendar days** of receipt of the Step 3 appeal.
The Commissioner's decision is **final**. Once the Commissioner issues a decision, your administrative remedies are exhausted and you may proceed in state or federal court. You must provide the ARP number on all court documents.

What to Put in Your ARP
Write the required phrase: "this is a request for administrative remedy." This is the most commonly missed requirement.
One incident per request. Two separate incidents require two separate ARP requests. They cannot be combined.
Who, what, when, where, how. Be specific. Be brief. State the remedy you want.
Keep copies. The original letter becomes part of the administrative record. MDOC will not provide you copies. Make your copy before submitting through ILAP.
Track your ARP number. Once accepted, your ARP receives a number. You will need this number on all court documents.
Families: All ARP claims are confidential and MDOC can only communicate directly with the inmate about an ARP claim. Families cannot file on an inmate's behalf and cannot obtain status updates from MDOC about a pending ARP. Your family can help by receiving copies you send them and contacting Disability Rights Mississippi or the ACLU of Mississippi on their own initiative after all three steps are exhausted.
When the System Fails
No Step 1 response in 15 days: The Legal Claims Adjudicator should automatically advance the grievance to Step 2 and notify you. If this does not happen, contact the ILAP office and document your inquiry in writing.
Step 2 automatic advance: If the grievance advanced automatically from Step 1 (no response), the 5-day Step 2 filing window begins from your receipt of the notification that the grievance automatically advanced.
No Step 2 response in 25 days: Under the 90-day total limit and the rule that expiration of time limits entitles you to advance to the next step, you may proceed to Step 3 if no Step 2 response is received within the timeframe.
No Step 3 response in 40 days: Your remedies are exhausted. You may file in state or federal court. Include your ARP number on all court documents.
Transfer mid-ARP: The previous facility completes the Step 2 review. The Superintendent or CCD/designee of your new facility assists with communication between facilities.
Discharge: If the issues in your ARP continue to affect you after discharge, the involved unit completes the ARP process and sends the final determination to your last known address. If the issues do not continue after discharge, the ARP becomes null and void upon your discharge.
Sensitive Issues
If you believe filing at your institution would adversely affect you, you may file the initial complaint directly with the ARP Director at MDOC central office. Explain in writing why you cannot file at the facility. If the ARP Director agrees the complaint is sensitive, it is handled at that level. If the ARP Director disagrees, they will notify you in writing and return the complaint. You then have **5 calendar days** from the date you receive the rejection memo to submit through regular ARP channels beginning at Step 1.
Emergency Grievances
An emergency grievance is a matter in which disposition within the regular ARP time limits would subject you to a substantial risk of personal injury or cause other serious and irreparable harm.
If you believe your situation is an emergency: Send an emergency request to the Legal Claims Adjudicator through ILAP. The Legal Claims Adjudicator will immediately review the request and forward it to the level at which corrective action can be taken. Emergency requests are handled as expeditiously as possible and reviewed by the Commissioner or designee.
If an emergency grievance is ruled to be a non-emergency at any level: It will be returned to you with factual justifications, along with notification that the matter may be resubmitted as a regular grievance appeal at Level 3.
Abuse of the emergency process is treated as a frivolous and/or malicious request.
ARP Abuse Limits
A maximum of 10 ARP requests will be logged. Any requests above 10 will be returned to you without filing. During Step 1 review, additional requests filed will be logged and set aside for handling at the Adjudicator's discretion. The Superintendent or designee may issue a letter of instruction when abuse or overuse is found; a copy is forwarded to the Adjudicator's office.
Federal Prisons in Mississippi
Mississippi has one major BOP complex: **FCC Yazoo City** (Federal Correctional Complex, Yazoo County), located 36 miles north of Jackson, Mississippi. It consists of:
**FCI Yazoo City Low** (low-security, approximately 1,603 male inmates)
**FCI Yazoo City Medium** (medium-security, approximately 1,345 male inmates)
**USP Yazoo City** (high-security penitentiary)
**FCI Yazoo City Camp** (minimum-security satellite camp, approximately 146 males)
All FCC Yazoo City facilities are under the **Southeast Regional Office** of the Bureau of Prisons.
If you are at any BOP facility in Mississippi, the MDOC ARP process described in this article does not apply to you. Federal inmates use the BOP Administrative Remedy Program running BP-8 through BP-11 under 28 CFR Part 542. See the InmateAid federal grievance article for the complete BOP process.
After Exhaustion: Where to Go Next
Once the Commissioner issues a Step 3 response (or 40 calendar days pass without a response), your administrative remedies are exhausted and you may proceed to state or federal court. Provide your ARP number on all court filings.
Disability Rights Mississippi (DRMS): drms.ms; (601) 968-0600; toll-free 1-800-772-4057. Mississippi's federally mandated Protection and Advocacy organization for people with disabilities.

County Jails in Mississippi
Mississippi counties operate their own jails and detention centers, which are separate from MDOC. The ARP process described in this article applies to MDOC-operated institutions. County jail inmates use whatever grievance process their county facility provides. The PLRA requires exhaustion of available administrative remedies before federal court, so you must exhaust your county jail's process before filing suit.
Note on private facilities: Mississippi has private correctional facilities, including Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility. Inmates at private facilities contracted with MDOC should confirm whether the MDOC ARP or the private facility's own process applies to them.
Special Circumstances
Healthcare complaints: All medical, dental, and mental health care complaints use the same three-step ARP. There is no separate medical grievance process. File through ILAP using the same procedure described above.
Disciplinary appeals (RVR Appeals): If you receive a Disciplinary Hearing Officer finding and wish to appeal, the RVR appeal process is separate from the general ARP. At the time of a guilty finding notification, you will be told you have the right to appeal directly to the Warden or Residential Facility Warden via the ARP Director. The appeal must be in writing and submitted within **15 calendar days** after receiving a copy of the Disciplinary Hearing Officer's decision, setting forth the grounds for appeal in detail. If still unsatisfied after the RVR appeal, you may file in state or federal court. The ARP number from the RVR appeal must be provided on court documents.
Frequently asked questions
What is the required phrase and why does it matter?
Every ARP request letter must contain the exact phrase "this is a request for administrative remedy." If this phrase is missing, the ARP Director will reject the request outright -- not for the substance of your complaint, but for the missing phrase. This is one of the most common reasons ARPs are rejected in Mississippi. Include the phrase in every initial ARP letter you write.
What is ILAP and how does it work?
ILAP stands for Inmate Legal Assistance Program. ILAP handles all ARP documents as legal mail. To submit any ARP form or appeal, complete an ILAP request form indicating whether it is an ARP or ARP appeal pickup and the deadline date. Place the ILAP request form in the ILAP box before 0700 hours on the assigned pickup day. All ARP submissions at all three steps go through ILAP -- do not attempt to submit ARP documents outside this system.
What is the Step 3 postmark rule?
After you receive the Step 2 response, you have 5 calendar days to get your Step 3 appeal postmarked. This is a postmark deadline, not a receipt deadline. Your package to the ARP Administrator at MDOC central office in Jackson must physically be in the mail with a postmark within 5 calendar days of the date of the Step 2 response. Do not wait. Put your package together and submit it through ILAP immediately upon receiving Step 2.
Can I file more than one ARP at the same time?
A maximum of 10 ARP requests will be logged in total. Each request must address a single incident. During Step 1 review of your first request, additional requests filed will be logged and set aside -- they will not be simultaneously processed. Once your pending ARP is resolved, additional logged requests may then be processed. Requests beyond 10 are returned without filing.
What if I have a complaint that is sensitive?
If you believe filing at your facility would put you at risk, you may file directly with the ARP Director at MDOC central office and explain in writing why you cannot file at the facility. If the ARP Director agrees it is sensitive, it will be handled at that level. If not, you will be sent a rejection memo and have 5 calendar days from the date you receive it to file through the normal channels at Step 1.
Can my family find out the status of my ARP?
No. ARP claims are confidential and MDOC communicates about ARP only with the inmate directly. Family members cannot obtain ARP status updates from MDOC. After all three steps are exhausted, family members may contact Disability Rights Mississippi, the ACLU of Mississippi, or the Mississippi Center for Justice on their own initiative. --- INTERNAL LINKS TO PLACE: 1.
