WOODVILLE, Miss. – Case Manager Bessie January of Wilkinson County Correctional Facility
(WCCF), Woodville, recently taught a three-day class on Long-term Segregation
at East Mississippi Correctional Facility (EMCF), Meridian.
“We focused on how
long-term segregation is run,” January said. “We looked at the policies and
guidelines of MTC and the Mississippi Department of Corrections’ (MDOC). We
talked about the dos and don’ts when working with these offenders and how to
work with security.”
January is a long-term
case manager at WCCF, where she has worked for four years. She is a student at
Jackson State University and resident of Fayette, MS.
January said she was
excited about the teaching opportunity.
“It was an honor as well
as a privilege, that someone thinks enough of me to ask me to train people who
have been in corrections longer than me,” she said. “The staff of EMCF showed
great hospitality. They were attentive. They said the training was great and
that they learned a lot.”
WCCF and EMCF are operated by Management & Training
Corporation (MTC) for the Mississippi Department of Corrections (MDOC).
