State Correctional Facilities Monitoring Unit; establish.

HB 1733 would have established a State Correctional Facilities Monitoring Unit within Mississippi's Department of Public Safety. The unit would conduct regular inspections of all state and privately operated correctional facilities, investigate inmate complaints, review facility procedures, and provide confidential reports to the Governor and Legislature every quarter. It would directly affect inmates, facility staff, and the Department of Public Safety by requiring facilities to comply with state/federal laws and best practices. The bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and never became law.
