Lt. Lawanda Alexander
STG Investigator

WOODVILLE, Miss. – Lawanda Alexander of Summit has been promoted to STG Investigator at Wilkinson County Correctional Facility (WCCF). “STG,” which stands for “Security Threat Group,” refers to a formal or informal group of prison inmates.

In her new role, Alexander serves as a lieutenant for the facility. In her previous position, which she held from January to June this year, she worked as a case manager.

Altogether, Alexander has worked more than 16 years in investigations. “I feel that my new position is going to be challenging, but as I always say, ‘If you’re not challenged, you’re not growing,’” Alexander said. “I am up for the challenge.”

Alexander holds a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from Jackson State University and an associate degree in law enforcement technology from Southwest Mississippi Community College. She is currently pursuing a master’s degree in criminal justice from the University of Southern Mississippi.

Alexander is a graduate of Amite County High School in Liberty. The investigator said she is motivated by the love she has for her son. “I have a son that is my motivation to be the best in everything I set forward to do,” she said.

WCCF houses 950 male offenders. It is privately managed by MTC or Management & Training Corporation of Utah.
