Prison Ministry

Visiting the imprisoned is a corporal work of mercy. Prison ministry is an important and integral part of our ministry to the community here in the Diocese of Jackson. Currently the diocese has active prison ministry programs at:

• State Penitentiary in Parchman
• Central Mississippi Correctional Facility, Rankin County
• Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility, Tutwiler
• Carroll/Montgomery County Regional Correctional Facility, Vaiden
• Holmes/Humphries County Regional Correctional Facility, Lexington
• Washington County Regional Correctional Facility, Greenville
• Yazoo Regional Correctional Facility, Yazoo City

We currently celebrate Mass with the Catholic inmates at these various correctional facilities and offer pastoral ministry to them, with priests and lay people collaborating together in this ministry.

If you are interested in helping this ministry, you may contact Fr. Lincoln Dall, vicar general of the diocese, at [email protected].
