More public scrutiny, not
less, needed at MDOC
It is unfortunate that the state agency tasked
with incarcerating those found guilty of crimes
has so little regard for the law — at least certain
parts of the law.
The Mississippi Department of Corrections
would like the state Legislature to exempt it from
parts of the Public Records Act. The act is state
law, and it requires the government to release to
the public the documents and records that it uses
in the course of operations. There are exemptions,
but generally speaking, any document used by a Partial to home
body of the government is open to public inspec-
tion.
The act allows the public to keep tabs on its
government. It forces transparency.
