RANKIN COUNTY, Miss. — Today’s academy graduation at Central Mississippi Correctional Facility in Rankin County will add more correctional officers than usual per class at the prison.
The class of 52 officers is the last in 2013 for the facility and the largest one for that year. The graduation will begin at 11 a.m. in the Quick Bed Visitation Center. The speaker will be Michael White, CMCF superintendent since Dec. 1.
Today’s class has 38 females and 14 males, some of whom have a law enforcement background.
“We are always looking for good officers,” Mississippi Department of Corrections Commissioner Christopher B. Epps said. “MDOC not only offers you a job but also a career. I’m hoping that we can soon offer higher starting pay.”
