The Mississippi Department of Corrections (MDOC) has posted its 2025 Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) audit listings, and the Quitman County Community Work Center in Lambert appears on that list. PREA audits examine correctional facilities’ policies and operational practices for preventing, detecting and responding to sexual abuse and sexual harassment, and the MDOC posting initiates a public visibility process for the facility’s forthcoming audit report.
Residents interested in the findings and in participating in the oversight process are directed to the MDOC PREA audit reports page, where the audit report for the Quitman County Community Work Center will be listed when available and information will be provided on how to submit comments. For local inquiries, the facility’s contact information remains current: 201 Camp B Road, Lambert, and 662-326-2133.
PREA, a federal framework aimed at eliminating sexual abuse in confinement settings, requires regular external audits of facilities that fall under state correctional systems. Such audits assess a range of elements including training, reporting mechanisms, investigative procedures and protections for both residents and staff. For Quitman County, the audit report’s release and any associated public commentary offer an opportunity for the community to assess how local correctional practices align with state and federal expectations.
The inclusion of the county work center on the MDOC list has implications for local trust and accountability. Community members, families of residents and county officials often view PREA audits as a barometer of institutional safety and humane treatment. Findings can prompt policy adjustments, additional training, or remedial steps by facility management, and they can influence public perceptions of how county corrections are administered. Given the work center’s role within the county’s criminal justice system, the results may affect relationships between the facility and the broader community.
Local officials and residents who want to follow developments should check the MDOC PREA page for the posted report and guidance on submitting comments. The audit process is part of a broader oversight framework intended to protect residents and staff, and to provide communities with reasoned, documented evaluation of facility practices. For immediate questions, the Quitman County Community Work Center can be reached at its Lambert address and phone number listed by MDOC.
