Wilkinson Prison is Featured in American Jails Magazine

#MTCChangesLives


WOODVILLE, Miss. -- Wilkinson County Correctional Facility (WCCF) is featured in two articles in the May/June 2021 issue of American Jails magazine. The national publication is the official organ of the American Jail Association (AJA).

The main article about WCCF highlights a new training program at the Woodville facility. It is titled, “How an Inmate-Led Class Is Helping Staff Learn Spanish” (pages 28-32). The second article appears in the “Notes from the Field” section. It is titled, “Wilkinson Facility Turns Pallets into Bookcases” (pages 61-63). Both articles include photos of WCCF staff and residents.

Earlier this year, WCCF appeared in the January/February 2021 issue of the nationally-published Corrections Today magazine, the official publication of the American Correctional Association (ACA). The article was titled, "Witness the Fitness Walking Club: How the staff of a Mississippi prison fights stress and stays fit in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic."
