POPLARVILLE — Forty-four Jackson County prisoners were scheduled to be transferred to the Pearl River County jail late Monday or early Tuesday, said Sheriff David Allison, who asked supervisors on Monday to sign a contract with Jackson County in connection with the transfer.

Currently housed at the jail in Millard are 324 prisoners, so the extra 44 from Jackson County will bring to 368 housed at the jail facility, if that many are received.

Pearl River County houses prisoners from Hancock County, Poplarville and Picayune, besides its own Pearl River County prisoners and now those from Jackson County.

Allison said that after the first prisoner transfer, Pearl River County jail authorities will receive additional transfers that will ultimately bring to about 60 the number of Jackson County prisoners housed at the Pearl River County jail at Millard.
