Why Mississippi Will Reopen Prison Homicide Cases Dating Back to 2015
This article is part of a collaborative investigation into Mississippi’s Deadly Prisons.
The Mississippi Department of Corrections will review more than two dozen unprosecuted homicides inside its prisons, as well as deaths where causes were ruled as “undetermined,” following an investigation by several news sites, including The Marshall Project – Jackson and Mississippi Today.
“All the deaths that we’ve had since 2015, we’re going back to revisit,” Corrections Commissioner Burl Cain told the reporting team. “There is no statute of limitations, as you know, on homicide.”
Cain’s comments follow an investigation by a team of Mississippi reporters that revealed at least 43 people died by homicide inside Mississippi prisons since 2015. Total murder convictions in those cases? Eight, including two guilty pleas that came after the news stories were published.
The prison homicide investigation involved reporters and editors from The Marshall Project – Jackson, Mississippi Today, The Clarion Ledger, Hattiesburg American and The Mississippi Link.
A prisoner advocacy group said revisiting past homicides won’t address the key reasons for the deaths in the first place — chronic understaffing of security officers.
Revisiting past homicides is “sort of closing the door after the horse has left the barn,” said David Fathi, director of the ACLU National Prison Project. “What the commissioner also needs to do is figure out why this is happening and what to do to stop it.”
Deaths officially categorized as homicides this year appear to have reached their highest level since 2020, when a gang war pushed that year’s total to at least nine killings.
Forty-one-year-old Aaron Harrison became the sixth person killed in a state prison this year when he died on July 3. A medical examiner later ruled that Harrison, incarcerated at East Mississippi Correctional Facility, was killed by blunt force trauma.
A nurse practitioner at the prison noticed bruising on Harrison while treating him for a possible drug overdose before he died, according to an incident report obtained by the news reporting team. Court records show that no one has been charged in Harrison’s death, but it is not unusual for homicide investigations to take up to a year.
State Rep. Becky Currie, who chairs the House Corrections Committee, asked a legislative committee last month — as the reporting team was about to publish its investigation — to look into all prison deaths for the past five years.
The Joint Legislative Committee on Performance Evaluation and Expenditure Review analyzes state agency programs and operations and can issue recommendations.
Even with recent deaths, she’s found that little information is shared with the families, the public and lawmakers when an incarcerated person dies.
“How can you say you’ll keep people safe if you don’t know what they’re dying of?” Currie asked.
Internal Investigations
The corrections department has its own criminal investigations unit and can refer cases to county prosecutors for further action.
Cain said the agency’s Criminal Investigations Division is now examining each death that was not referred to a district attorney’s office. About 25 people work for CID, which has been rebuilt since he took over corrections in 2020, he said.
“We’ve brought a lot more professionalism,” Cain said.
Each prison has an investigator who can respond quickly, and more investigators work out of the central office than before, he said. “That way we can keep the integrity and know what’s going on.”
He compared the investigators’ work on these homicides to working on cold cases. “They’re looking for answers.”
“We’re going back to visit all that to be sure that we haven’t left any stone unturned,” Cain said. “Every crime that is committed in the prison, no matter how small,” will be referred to a county prosecutor. “If he wants to throw it in the trash and not prosecute, that’s up to him.”
In the past decade, prosecutors indicted people in 16 of the 43 homicides, with eight guilty pleas. One case was dropped because the accused person died by suicide before his day in court. Another was dropped in light of evidence that supported the accused person’s claim of self-defense. The remaining six indictments, handed up between 2022 and June 2025, are pending trial.
The commissioner shared similar comments during a Sept. 24 legislative budget hearing, but lawmakers did not ask him follow-up questions about the investigations. Among those in attendance were House Speaker Jason White and Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann.
When reached by the reporting team, the offices of Hosemann and White, along with the state auditor’s office, declined to comment.
The state Senate Corrections Committee chairman, Sen. Juan Barnett, did not respond to requests for comment about the team’s findings and Cain’s remarks.
In addition to the 43 homicides, another 21 prisoner deaths since 2015 have been ruled “undetermined” by the state medical examiner’s office. That means medical examiners were not able to come to a conclusive answer about how a person died. An undetermined death could be a homicide, suicide, accidental, or a natural death.
For example, Richard Weems’ 2022 death was ruled undetermined, but medical examiners noted his body showed signs of blunt force trauma. An incarcerated person told the Mississippi Free Press in 2023 that he saw Weems being beaten.
Asked if MDOC planned to review deaths marked as undetermined, Cain replied, “We’re going to look at all of them.”
Cain said prison security has been improved in recent years with more video cameras, six narcotic detection dogs, a drone detecting system and enhanced video on the prisons’ fences to stop drugs from being thrown over or dropped by drones. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the abundance of illegal drugs in MDOC facilities has led to extortion and violence, the department’s 2024 investigation found.
Staffing Shortages Lead to Violence, Advocates Say
One of the key problems the news investigation identified is the chronic understaffing that leaves incarcerated people vulnerable to violence.
Fathi called the staffing levels in Mississippi prisons “a five-alarm emergency.”
Corrections spokesperson Kate Head said in a statement that staffing “is central to safety and security.” The department continues to address the shortages and strengthen staff accountability, she told the news team.
Since Cain took the helm in 2020, the starting salary for a correctional officer increased by about $13,000, beginning at $40,392. Still, it is hard to hire and retain staff for such dangerous jobs.
About 30% of the funded corrections officer positions were vacant, Deputy Commissioner Nathan Blevins told lawmakers at the budget hearing in September.
“No prison can operate safely with that kind of staffing,” Fathi said, “It’s not safe for the incarcerated people, it’s not safe for the staff… it’s not safe for anybody.”
Homicides in the prisons often happened when corrections officers were not watching.
For instance, Ronnie Graham was killed at Central Mississippi Correctional Facility in Rankin County in 2021, but his battered body was not discovered by a corrections officer for at least five hours. In another case, Jonathan Havard was strangled to death earlier this year at Wilkinson County Correctional Facility. However, his body was only discovered after an unidentified parent called to tell the prison officials that he had been killed, according to prison records.
Compounding the staffing problems is the growing prison population. Since December 2021, the number of state prisoners has increased from about 16,800 to 19,300, returning to pre-pandemic levels. Cain said the increase is largely due to high rates of recidivism.
About 47% of people released in fiscal year 2021 returned to prison within three years, according to state corrections data.
“If we do a better job of getting them employable, then that’s the whole key to recidivism and not coming back,” Cain said in the legislative hearing. “Recidivism is killing us.”
Cain’s promise of new investigations into unsolved homicides sparked hope for a mother who lost a son.
Janice Wilkins, the mother of Denorris Howell, who was killed in the Mississippi State Penitentiary in Parchman in 2020, said she is grateful that her son’s case will be reviewed.
“It means a whole lot to me,” she said. “Once they review everything, they should move forward.”
The No. 6 Auburn Tigers have evened the series with No. 11 Mississippi State thanks to a timely home run in the 9th inning.
Auburn catcher Chase Fralick stepped into the batter’s box to lead off the final inning of a tie game, needing to get on base to give his team a chance to steal a win in Starkville. He answered the call by smashing a home run over the right field wall to push his team ahead. His defense, as well as relief pitcher Jackson Sanders, followed the clutch long ball by piecing together a perfect bottom frame to solidify a 5-4 Auburn win over Mississippi State on Friday at Dudy Noble Field in Starkville, Mississippi, to even the series between the pair of top-five SEC squads.
Fralick’s solo home run in the 9th was an answer to Mississippi State’s game-tying single in the 8th inning off the bat of Ace Reese. Reese hit a single to right field and used deception by forcing himself into a rundown, which allowed Kevin Milewsky to score from 3rd base and to erase Auburn’s lead that was once 4-0.

Auburn’s prayers were quickly answered after giving up the tying run to Mississippi State in the 8th inning when Chase Fralick smashed a solo home run to right field, giving Auburn its first run since the 5th inning and putting his team in a situation to win the game in the bottom of the 9th inning.
Auburn in the 9th: 1 R, 1 H, 0 E, 0 LOB
We head into the final inning of the game with a 4-4 tie between the Auburn Tigers and the Mississippi State Bulldogs. Ace Reese singled through the right side and voluntarily entered a rundown to distract Auburn’s defense long enough for Kevin Milewski, who got on base by a leadoff walk, to score.
Auburn will look to regain the lead in the top frame of the 9th inning.
Mississippi State in the 8th: 1 R, 1 H, 0 E, 0 LOB
For the second time in the game, Auburn fails to add runs despite the first two runners of the inning reaching base.

The next three batters in Auburn’s lineup were retired via strikeout by Ben Davis, bringing his total to four on the day.
Auburn in the 8th: 0 R, 0 H, 0 E, 0 LOB
Auburn pitcher Jackson Sanders got off to a shaky start in the 7th inning by allowing the first two batters of the inning to reach base. He appeared to be on his way out of the jam, but Bryce Chance singled through the left side to score Ace Reese from 3rd base and to trim Auburn’s lead to one run. He eventually got out of trouble by forcing Vytas Valincius to pop out.
Mississippi State in the 7th: 1 R, 2 H, 0 E, 2 LOB

Chris Rembert recorded his second RBI of the game with one out in the 5th, when his groundout to shortstop allowed Mason McCraine to score and to extend Auburn’s lead to three runs. The greedy Tigers were not finished, though, as Ethin Bingaman delivered an RBI single in the next at-bat to push Auburn’s cushion to four runs.
Bingaman’s RBI closed the tab on Mississippi State starter Duke Stone, who ended his outing by allowing four runs on seven hits with two walks in 4 2/3 innings and 95 pitches. Maddox Miller relieved Stone by forcing Brandon McCraine to fly out to center field after walking Bub Terrell.
Auburn in the 5th: 2 R, 2 H, 0 E, 2 LOB

Auburn in the 4th: 0 R, 1 H, 0 E, 1 LOB
As the old Yogi Berra quote goes, “it was deja vu all over again” for Mississippi State in the 3rd inning as Bryce Chance stepped up to the plate with the bases loaded and two outs. However, unlike Thursday’s opener when he hit a 1st inning grand slam, he hit a ground ball up the middle, which resulted in a fielder’s choice that forced Reed Stallman to become the third out of the frame.
Mississippi State in the 3rd: 0 R, 2 H, 0 E, 3 LOB
It took Auburn a few innings to find confidence at the plate, but it struck gold in the 3rd inning when Chase Fralick popped out to center field with the bases loaded and one out to send Lucas Steele home, giving the Tigers a 1-0 lead. Chris Rembert followed suit in the next at-bat by sending a single up the middle to advance everyone 90 feet, which scored Mason McCraine to extend the lead to 2-0.
We will now see if the two-run cushion will bring out the best in Andreas Alvarez on the mound.
Auburn in the 3rd: 2 R, 2 H, 0 E, 2 LOB
Mississippi State stranded one runner in the 2nd inning, but that was as far as they reached as Andreas Alvarez struck out Ryder Woodson to end the frame.
Alvarez is up to three strikeouts with a walk through two innings of work. He has thrown 40 pitches, with 23 of them finding the strike zone.
Mississippi State in the 2nd: 0 R, 1 H, 0 E, 1 LOB
The Auburn Tigers appeared to gain an edge on Mississippi State as a pair of singles by Chris Rembert and Ethin Bingaman put two runners on base. However, Duke Stone rebounded by striking out the next two batters, and a pickoff play by the Bulldogs caught Bingaman in a rundown between 1st and 2nd base, killing Auburn’s threat of putting a run on the scoreboard.
Auburn in the 2nd: 0 R, 2 H, 0 E, 1 LOB
Mississippi State attacked Auburn starting pitcher Andreas Alvarez early with a leadoff walk, followed by a bloop single to left center field. However, Alvarez bounced back by retiring the next three batters in order, which included two strikeouts.
Mississippi State in the 1st: 0 R, 1 H, 0 E, 2 LOB
It was a quiet inning for the Mississippi State Bulldogs and pitcher Duke Stone, who retired all three Auburn batters in order, which included strikeouts of Mason McCraine and Chase Fralick.
Andreas Alvarez and the Auburn defense look to return the favor in the bottom frame.
Auburn in the 1st: 0 R, 0 H, 0 E, 0 LOB
Alabama defeats South Carolina, 8-3, which means that the broadcast of Auburn vs Mississippi State on SEC Network will not be delayed or pushed to another network. Expect a start time of 7:30 p.m. CT.
Here’s how the Auburn Tigers will line up in game two
- RF Mason McCraine
- 3B Eric Guevara
- C Chase Fralick
- 2B Chris Rembert
- 1B Ethin Bingaman
- LF Bub Terrell
- SS Brandon McCraine
- CF Cade Belyeu
- DH Lucas Steele
The bottom of the lineup will look different for the Tigers on Friday night, as Cade Belyeu gets the start in center field over Bristol Carter, and Lucas Steele assumes his familiar role at designated hitter over Eddie Madrigal.
After experiencing a flat night offensively in game one, it appears that Butch Thompson is looking for a spark in the center field slot for game two of the series. Carter has logged just two hits over his last five games and has gone 0-5 in his last three games. Steele has been used sparingly in the Auburn lineup over the last few weeks, playing in just three SEC games since April 17.

MISSISSIPPI. (WLBT) – Diesel prices climbed this week across Mississippi and the nation, leaving truck drivers uncertain about their ability to continue hauling freight.
Lemone Guice said seeing diesel prices at the pumps was concerning.
“It’s rough right now with the economy. We don’t know how it’s going to be with it being up and down,” Guice said.
Guice and fellow truck driver Ronnie Tran said they don’t know how long their fuel will last.
“If it keeps going like this, I don’t think we can survive,” Tran said.
Tran said his fill-up costs have doubled.
“My normal fill-up: usually around $600 to $700. Now, you’re talking about a thousand to $1,200, so it’s, like, double,” Tran said.
King Gaulden said the situation has been difficult.
“Man, it’s been ridiculous. Ever since Trump said the gas prices would go down, they have been going up. We’re just trying to figure it out. It’s been hard out here, man,” Gaulden said.
According to AAA, the national average for a gallon of gas is $4.54. That’s the highest since the summer of 2022.
Guice said the spike is affecting decisions about whether to transport loads.
“For those of us that freight slows up, yes. You just don’t want to be just getting somewhere sitting and fuel you know… you don’t know whether you’re going to have a half of a tank or a quarter of tank. That isn’t good,” Guice said.
In Mississippi, the average price stands at $4.00, up more than 28 cents from last week.
Tran said his wish is simple.
“I wish the price would go back to $2 and something. Right now, it’s $4 and something. I wish it can go down to two or three something. That would be nice,” Tran said.
Mississippi still ranks among the states with the lowest gas prices.

The future of the Voting Rights Act runs through a legal fight over Mississippi’s Supreme Court. Also, violence persists in the Hinds County jail, even under federal oversight, and immigration enforcement in Mississippi is drawing more attention.
– Caleb Bedillion and Daja E. Henry
Mississippi grapples with SCOTUS voting rights decision
Last year, U.S. District Court Judge Sharion Aycock ruled that the voting districts used to elect the Mississippi Supreme Court’s nine justices illegally dilute the influence of Black voters. About 38% of Mississippi is Black, but only one justice currently sitting on the bench is Black. All the other judges are White.
Then last week, the U.S. Supreme Court set off a legal earthquake by releasing a decision that significantly weakens the Voting Rights Act and makes it harder for racial minorities to claim in court that they are disadvantaged by voting districts used in elections.
The opinion in Louisiana v. Callais shifts voting rights law so much that the civil rights plaintiffs who filed the Mississippi lawsuit and the defendants have jointly asked a federal appeals court to void (the legal term is “vacate”) the ruling by Aycock and send the case back to her for new arguments.
As of Friday, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals had not yet ruled in response to this joint motion.
The Callais ruling has triggered intense speculation about its impact on a partisan redistricting war raging across the country ahead of midterm elections. With fewer voting protections in place for racial minorities, states across the South could try to eliminate voting districts drawn to favor those voters. This week, Tennessee lawmakers voted to eliminate the state’s lone Black-majority congressional district.
In Mississippi, the state Supreme Court districts loom as the most immediate issue.
When she found last year that the current maps discriminate against Black voters, Aycock gave state lawmakers an opportunity to draw a new voting map. In a legislative session that ended in April, they failed to do so.
A special session called by Gov. Tate Reeves is now scheduled for later this month, during which legislators could potentially change the voting districts of the Mississippi Supreme Court.
Will those lawmakers decide again to leave the status quo in place? Will they adopt a map that is more favorable to Black voters in a bid to bring litigation to a close? Could the Republican-controlled body take Callais as a signal to make the districts less favorable to Black voters?
At the same time, public speculation has mostly centered on whether Reeves will expand the scope of the special session to include the state’s Congressional districts. Some elected officials in the state — as well as President Donald Trump — are calling for more sweeping changes that will change the state’s congressional districts to eliminate a Black-majority district currently represented by Bennie Thompson, a Democrat.
Violence continues at Hinds County jail
Violence continues to plague Hinds County’s Raymond Detention Center, now under the control of a court-appointed federal receiver. Two men were assaulted at the jail on April 23, Sheriff Tyree Jones confirmed to Mississippi Today.
The men were identified as 26-year-old Isaac Gibson and 22-year-old Quandarius Beasley. Gibson’s aunt told Mississippi Today that he had been stabbed.
Violence is just one of the systemic issues that have plagued the facility for decades, leading to the federal takeover. U.S. District Court Judge Carlton W. Reeves ordered the receivership in 2022 after the county repeatedly failed to address constitutional violations found in the U.S. Department of Justice’s 2014 investigation.
Federal receiver, Wendell M. France Sr., took over operations at the facility in October 2025. In a February 2026 court hearing, France said staffing levels at the facility were “woeful.” The building is deteriorating and overcrowded, he reported.
“We will never reach a constitutional, sustainable jail if we do not increase the staff,” France said in the hearing.
According to logs obtained by The Marshall Project – Jackson, dispatchers responded to at least 121 assaults, one stabbing, and 29 aggravated assaults which involved the use of a weapon, in the facility in 2025.
Last year, eight people died in the jail, and one of those deaths was ruled a homicide, according to documents obtained by The Marshall Project – Jackson. In April 2025, 37-year-old Anthony Johnson was found unresponsive in his cell after being assaulted. Three people have been charged in connection with his death.
At least four more people have died in the facility this year.
Tracking immigration enforcement in Mississippi
The privately run Adams County Correctional Center in Mississippi is among the largest ICE detention facilities. People from across the country are held there ahead of possible deportation. But the number of detainees has recently dropped sharply, according to Mississippi Today and The New York Times. With the ability to hold up to 2,500 people, the facility was holding 1,400 people during an April tour, U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson, a Democrat from Mississippi, told the news outlets.
Nationally, detention numbers have not decreased. A spokesperson for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement denied any intent to close the facility.
The news outlets are reporting in partnership about immigration enforcement and detention in Mississippi. They have interviewed Thompson about his visits to the Adams County facility and probed the scant details about the death of a person held there.
Elsewhere in Mississippi, two brothers from the Republic of the Congo who were attending a public high school on the Mississippi Gulf Coast were recently released from ICE custody after the intervention of prominent Republican officials, according to the Mississippi Free Press. Israel and Max Makoka legally came to the U.S. on student visas, but then transferred from the private boarding school in Rankin County that they initially attended. In a statement, ICE told the Mississippi Free Press the brothers were out of compliance with their visa terms.
Though they are back home with their host parents for now, the brothers still face possible deportation.
