Traveling from out of town to visit someone at South Mississippi Correctional Institution (SMCI)? A little advance verification can save you a wasted trip. Run through the checks below before you buy nonrefundable tickets or commit to a long drive.
Traveling to visit someone at South Mississippi Correctional Institution takes real planning—and real money. Before you book flights, reserve hotels, or commit to a long drive, confirm the basics. At MDOC facilities, visitation is a privilege, not a right. That means it can be revoked for rule violations or suspended based on facility conditions. MDOC urges visitors to make sure their application is approved before making travel plans. The last thing you want is to show up and get turned away.
If you take prescription medication, plan ahead before visiting South Mississippi Correctional Institution. There are two approval paths: one for medication you only need during the visit, and another if you must keep it on you at all times.
