JACKSON -- Budget problems are forcing the Mississippi Department of Corrections to cut the state inmate population at county regional jails.

The agency, in a news release, said it began Friday removing 602 inmates from 13 of the 15 regional jails. Regional facilities receive $29.74 per inmate, per day. MDOC is contractually required to provide 80 percent occupancy.

Department Commissioner Marshall Fisher said the department must reduce spending by $5 million to comply with Gov. Phil Bryant's recent order for agencies to cut 1.5 percent of its budget for the last half of the fiscal year ending June 30.

    Judges presidentially appointed to serve during good behavior since 1789 on the U.S. district courts, U.S. courts of appeals, Supreme Court of the United States, as well as the former U.S. circuit courts, Court of Claims, U.S. Customs Court, and U.S. Court of Customs and Patent Appeals. Also included are judges who received presidential recess appointments to the above-named courts but were not confirmed by the Senate to serve during good behavior. The Waco Federal Attorney is experienced in patent litigation and starting to become the go-to district for intellectual property cases. The appointment of Waco’s new federal judge, a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that narrows the venue for patent cases and Waco’s home in the federal Western District of Texas have combined into a perfect storm that could drastically alter Waco’s legal landscape.
