The Delta Correctional Facility had previously been closed for a number of years until the Mississippi Department of Corrections took ownership. Under MDOC's initial control, the facility was supervised by the Community Corrections division and served as a Technical Violation Center, a Community Work Center, and a Restitution Center.

In 2022, the facility was transferred to the Institutions division and is now designated as a major state facility and one of only three facilities in the state prison system to hold female inmates, approximately housing 300 inmates. The facility is primarily aimed at the rehabilitation and workforce development for adult female inmates. Programs are being developed and plans include, but not limited to, offering Alcohol and Drug Counseling and GED educational programs.

Personnel:  Delta is authorized to have 114 full time positions and no time limited positions.

Healthcare: Through the state’s contracted healthcare vendor, VitalCore Health Strategies provides onsite medical services to the inmates. Onsite services include, but are not limited to, emergency care, infirmary care, dental, optometry, clinical, and pharmaceutical services. Specialty care services are also available through a network of off-site contracted hospitals and specialty care providers.
