Delta Correctional Facility Overview
Delta Correctional Facility is operated by the Mississippi Department of Corrections. MDOC lists it as a major state facility in Greenwood with Superintendent Janice Scales. It is a state prison, not the Leflore County Jail. That distinction controls the lookup path. County jail questions about fresh arrests, booking, local bond, and pretrial holds go to the sheriff-operated Leflore County Jail. Delta Correctional Facility questions about state prison custody, sentence status, release eligibility, and facility placement go through MDOC.
MDOC describes Delta as a facility for adult female inmates with a rehabilitation and workforce-development focus. The facility had been closed for several years, then came under MDOC ownership. It was first supervised through Community Corrections as a Technical Violation Center, Community Work Center, and Restitution Center, then transferred to the Institutions division in 2022 as a major state facility. Current page content should rely on MDOC's facility page for present operations and treat older reopening details as background only.
The official facility information is shown on the MDOC Delta Correctional Facility page.
The screenshot reinforces the state-prison route: MDOC is the source for Delta Correctional Facility details, while the county jail remains the local booking source.
Delta Facility Inmate Population
MDOC's facility page says Delta Correctional Facility houses approximately 300 adult female inmates. MDOC daily population reports give a more numeric capacity view: the November 2024 daily population report lists Delta CCF capacity at 450 and shows visible daily counts around 386 for early November 2024. These figures are state-prison numbers. They should not be mixed with the local jail population because the county jail and Delta serve different legal custody stages.
Capacity and daily population reports are snapshots. A state prison count can change as people transfer in, transfer out, receive parole decisions, finish sentences, return on violations, or move for classification and program reasons. For an individual status question, use the MDOC locator first. For aggregate capacity and population, use MDOC's annual reports and daily inmate population materials, which are listed through the department's public reports pages.
| Population Measure | Source Detail |
|---|---|
| Approximate population | MDOC facility page says approximately 300 adult female inmates. |
| Rated capacity | MDOC November 2024 daily population report lists capacity 450. |
| Visible daily count | MDOC November 2024 report shows about 386 on visible early-month days. |
| Custody type | Sentenced state prison custody, not county jail booking custody. |
Look Up Delta Facility Inmates
Use the MDOC Inmate Search to look up someone at Delta Correctional Facility. The county jail roster is the wrong channel for a sentenced state prisoner at Delta. MDOC says its search can use a name or MDOC ID number. The alternate MS.gov MDOC search also supports search criteria by name or ID number. After a result appears, confirm the current facility line before making visit, mail, money, or release plans.
Name spelling matters. If the person has a common name, an MDOC ID is the most exact route. If the person was just sentenced out of Leflore County, there may be a lag while records, classification, and transfer data update. Court records still belong with the sentencing court and clerk. Custody location, sentence calculation, eligibility date, and state-prison status questions go through MDOC and MDOC Records.
- Open the MDOC Inmate Search and choose name search or ID search.
- Enter the last name, first name, or MDOC ID number as accurately as possible.
- Open the matching result and confirm that the facility is Delta Correctional Facility.
- Use MDOC Records for sentence, jail credit, release, or eligibility questions that the locator does not answer.
| Field | Type | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Last Name | Text | Primary name-search field for state prisoners. |
| First Name | Text | Helps narrow same-name results. |
| MDOC ID Number | Text | Best exact search when known. |
| Search Criteria | Option | MS.gov interface allows Name or ID Number. |
Delta Correctional Facility Contact
Delta Correctional Facility is located at 3800 Baldwin Road, CR540, Greenwood, MS 38930. MDOC lists the facility phone as 662-455-7277. The facility is close to Leflore County Jail, but the two addresses should not be treated as interchangeable. Visitors, family members, attorneys, and record requesters should confirm the exact facility before travel because the county jail and state prison have different custody rules and different search systems.
MDOC Records handles state-prison sentence and custody records that are beyond facility front-desk questions. The research lists MDOC Records at P.O. Box 24388, Jackson, MS 39225, phone 601-933-2889, and MDOCRecordsDepartment@mdoc.state.ms.us. Use that route for time computation, jail credit, eligibility date, state custody records, and sentence questions. For conviction documents, court dates, and case dispositions, contact the sentencing court or clerk rather than Delta Correctional Facility.

Delta Facility Visitation
Delta Correctional Facility visitation follows MDOC state-prison rules, not county jail practices. State prison visits typically involve approval, identity checks, facility procedures, search rules, dress rules, scheduling limits, and conduct requirements. The captured Delta facility page did not provide a detailed day-by-day schedule, so no specific visitation hours should be invented. Call the facility and consult MDOC family and friends rules before traveling.
Because Delta is a state prison for adult female inmates, visitors should be ready to provide the inmate's name and MDOC ID, confirm whether the visitor is approved, and ask whether visits are in person, video, suspended, or modified. Visitors should also ask about minor children, required identification, property limits, medication handling, parking, and arrival time. A state prison can deny or end a visit if rules are not followed.
| Visit Item | Published Detail | Action |
|---|---|---|
| In-person schedule | Not listed in the captured facility detail | Call 662-455-7277 before travel. |
| Visitor approval | Use MDOC rules | Ask whether approval is required before scheduling. |
| Identification | Use MDOC rules | Confirm acceptable ID for adults and minors. |
| Dress and search rules | Use MDOC rules | Ask about clothing, property, and entry screening. |
| Video visiting | Not confirmed in the research | Ask whether a video option and vendor are available. |
Delta Facility Mail Money
Mail, phone, and money rules at Delta Correctional Facility should be checked through MDOC family and friends instructions and the facility phone line. The research confirms the facility, operator, address, phone, and MDOC records contacts, but it does not provide a Delta-specific fee table, deposit vendor, package policy, or phone-rate schedule. Do not use Leflore County Jail mail or commissary assumptions for Delta. State prison mail normally needs the inmate's full name and MDOC ID where required.
Before sending funds, ask MDOC which deposit method is approved and whether the transaction has a fee. Before mailing books, photos, cards, or packages, ask whether the item is allowed and whether it must come from an approved vendor. Phone and tablet services, if available, are controlled by MDOC-approved systems, not county jail systems. Incorrect mail or money can be returned, delayed, or rejected.
| Service | Provider / Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail Address | Use MDOC format and include the inmate's name and MDOC ID where required. |
| Phone / Video | Use MDOC-approved systems; the research did not list a Delta-specific vendor. |
| Money Deposit | Confirm the current MDOC deposit method and fees before sending funds. |
| Packages | Ask whether packages must come from an approved source. |
Delta Facility Admission
Delta Correctional Facility does not handle street-arrest booking like Leflore County Jail. A person generally reaches a state prison after conviction, sentencing, MDOC commitment, transfer, classification, or a state custody decision. Admission can involve record review, identity verification, sentence paperwork, custody classification, medical and mental-health screening, housing assignment, and program placement. Classification means MDOC decides the person's security and housing needs within the prison system.
For Leflore County cases, a defendant may first be booked at the county jail, appear in local court, and later move into MDOC custody after sentencing. That transfer changes the lookup tool. The county jail can no longer answer the same set of status questions once the person is in state prison. Use MDOC Inmate Search and MDOC Records for state custody, while the Circuit Clerk, Justice Court, MEC, or the sentencing court remains the source for filed charges and case dispositions.
- MDOC ID
- The state corrections number used for exact inmate lookup and records routing.
- Classification
- MDOC review of custody level, housing, security, health needs, and placement.
- Jail credit
- Time that may be credited toward a sentence from prior custody, handled through sentence records.
- Eligibility date
- A state custody date tied to parole, release, or sentence calculations when public and applicable.
About Delta Correctional Facility
MDOC says Delta Correctional Facility is aimed at rehabilitation and workforce development for adult female inmates. Programs being developed include Alcohol and Drug Counseling and GED education. That program detail is specific to Delta and should not be copied to Leflore County Jail, where no official program list was located. The two facilities share a local geography but not the same mission, population, or records channel.
Delta's recent state-prison status is also important. MDOC states the facility was transferred to Institutions in 2022 and now operates as a major state facility. That makes the MDOC locator, MDOC records office, and MDOC public reports the best official channels for state-prison status. Mississippi VINE may also help with custody-status notification where available, but VINE is not a substitute for MDOC records when sentence or eligibility details are needed.
Note: Confirm current facility placement, visit approval, mail format, and money rules with MDOC before travel or deposits.
