Uniforms for state offenders housed by Department of Corrections; remove stripes.
SB 2207 would have required Mississippi's Department of Corrections to revise prison uniforms by removing the word "CONVICT" and replacing it with "M.D.O.C.", while also eliminating stripes from the uniforms. This change would directly affect all state offenders housed in Mississippi's correctional facilities. The bill, which died in committee on February 3, 2026, proposed this specific uniform modification as part of Section 47-5-124 amendments, with a planned implementation date of July 1, 2026. The bill did not alter other provisions in the referenced section (like radio restrictions or air conditioning rules), which were unrelated to the uniform change.
