Halfway Houses,Transitional Homes in Mississippi
(Updated July 2020)
Grateful acknowledgments are made to Ms. Mirinda Frison,
director of the Pre-Release program for the Mississippi Department of
Corrections (MDOC). This list was compiled primarily by her and other MDOC
officials who work with offenders in pre-release/reentry programs. This list
consists of the organizations and ministries that work with male offenders. I
personally called each organization to verify their information.
