The Mississippi department of corrections manages the inmate roaster. The roaster comes with all the inmates' names in all state facilities, not just South Mississippi Correctional Institution.

You also have the option of calling the facility direct at 601-394-5600 and enquiring about the inmate. You will need a couple of details about the inmate in both cases to help narrow down the search. Some of the details needed include the name and ID of the inmate.

Inmates don't have to spend their time in prison wallowing in loneliness; there is an option for them to send and receive mail and learn about what is happening in the outside world. They can purchase whatever they need to write a letter from the South Mississippi Correctional Institution shop.

Mails have to go through certain security checks before getting to the inmate. Some of these checks include opening them for security checks.

When it comes to packages, the best advice would be to call the South Mississippi Correctional Institution and ensure you are familiar with the rules and regulations regarding packages. Some things are allowed while others are not, plus you also need prior permission before sending the packages.

All inmates have a commissary account where they can deposit money and use it in the jail shop. You can send money to an inmate in the South Mississippi Correctional Institution through the tool JPAY, which gives you the option of depositing money into the inmate's account.

The South Mississippi Correctional Institution comes with phone call privileges, where inmates have the opportunity to call their friends and loved ones. However, there are rules as to when the phone will also be used and the maximum time allowed per call.

Inmates are limited to 15 minutes of call time.

The call is monitored for security reasons.

You can visit an inmate at the South Mississippi Correctional Institution on Saturdays and Sundays.

However, certain rules apply including arrival time, dress code, and a valid ID.
