No-show prison workers cost Mississippi taxpayers millions By Joseph Neff and Alysia Santo, The Marshall Project © Andrea Morales for The Marshall Project A prisoner shattered Darrell Adams’ eye socket, cheek and jaw in a beating in April 2019. Adams has since left his job at Marshall County Correctional Facility.
When Darrell Adams showed up for an overnight shift at the Marshall County Correctional Facility in rural Mississippi, he was one of six officers guarding about 1,000 prisoners.
Adams said he thought that was normal; only half-a-dozen guards had been turning up each night during the three months he’d worked at the prison, which is run by Management & Training Corporation. He didn’t know the state’s contract with MTC required at least 19 officers.
