Constitutional violations lead to federal takeover of Hinds County jail
SUMMARY: A U.S. appeals court has allowed the federal takeover of the Raymond Detention Center in Hinds County, contingent upon revising the consultant’s powers. The court cited ongoing constitutional violations, including assaults and deaths at the facility, affirming a previous ruling by Judge Carlton Reeves. The judges criticized the consultant’s “overly broad” budgeting authority, which could undermine the county’s financial constraints. The jail was placed in receivership in July 2022 due to significant deficiencies, including staffing shortages. Hinds County officials, including Sheriff Tyree Jones, are committed to addressing these issues, having recently transferred 200 inmates to a private facility.

SUMMARY: The Jackson State Tigers aim to maintain their undefeated SWAC streak during homecoming against Arkansas-Pine Bluff. Under head coach T.C. Taylor, the team has secured a position in the FCS Top 25 and stands at 6-2 overall, 4-0 in SWAC play. Taylor emphasizes the importance of avoiding complacency, especially after recent performances. The Tigers rely heavily on their run game, averaging 199.1 yards per game, led by Irv Mulligan. While Jackson State’s defense has excelled in pressuring quarterbacks, they must contain Arkansas-Pine Bluff’s explosive offense, led by quarterback Mekhi Hagens. The game starts at 2 p.m. CT.

SUMMARY: Brandon Brinkley, a 20-year-old from Horn Lake, has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for attempted first-degree murder, armed robbery, and conspiracy related to a botched drug deal in June 2023. A jury found him guilty after a three-day trial, where it was revealed he shot a man during an attempted marijuana purchase alongside another convicted accomplice, Marco Gentry, who received a 20-year sentence. The incident escalated when Gentry tried to take a firearm from the victim, resulting in an exchange of gunfire. District Attorney Matthew Barton emphasized a commitment to reducing violent crime in DeSoto County.
