48 “problematic” inmates in South Carolina have been transferred to Mississippi.
Dexter Lee, with the South Carolina Department of Corrections, says SCDC transferred the “problematic inmates out of state to help improve the safety and security of our institutions.”
The inmates were transferred to Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility, according to Lee.
“Due to security reasons, the appropriate inmate’s family members were notified today regarding their transfer. The agency will periodically review each inmates’ status to determine if a transfer back to South Carolina is justified,” Lee also says.
