As of March 2017, three private prisons hold Mississippi prisoners:  The remaining three are closed for MDOC operations. Men may have hair that is not more than in length.

Since the establishment of the Mississippi Department of Corrections, six officers have died in the line of duty. The New Jersey Department of Corrections, the state prison system of New Jersey, established the "Be Smart Choose Freedom" television advertisement campaign in 2005. The State of New Jersey produced 30–60 second public service announcements to warn state residents against going to prison. MDOC decided to start its own "Be Smart Choose Freedom" campaign and use the commercials that aired in New Jersey.
