Inmates at the Central Mississippi Correctional Facility in Rankin County were treated to a special privilege on Thursday night. They got to watch college football.
This reward was given to those inmates housed in the West Central zone, who were recognized for maintaining the cleanest area within the prison. The initiative is part of an effort to encourage positive behavior and cleanliness among inmates under the new leadership of Superintendent Brock Owings.
Superintendent Owings, who recently took charge of the facility, has implemented several programs aimed at improving conditions and morale among the inmate population.
Allowing inmates to watch Thursday night college football is just one example of the incentives being offered for good behavior.
The program aims to promote a positive environment within the facility while also giving inmates an opportunity to enjoy a sense of normalcy and camaraderie through shared experiences like watching sports.
The Central Mississippi Correctional Facility continues to explore new ways to engage inmates and encourage rehabilitation through various incentive-based programs.
