Mississippi Parole Project launches at Parchman

The Mississippi Impact Coalition (MIC) launched the Mississippi Parole Project at Mississippi State Penitentiary (MSP), in partnership with the Mississippi Department of Corrections, as part of the Justice & The Next 250 Campaign.

Appreciation extends to Superintendent Frank Caswell, MSP Education Director Kimberly Meeks, case manager supervisors, and case managers for making room for the coalition.

“Freedom is not only a door that opens. It is a road that has to be prepared.”

Danyelle Holmes, MIC Executive Director

“We appreciate any help that volunteers provide for them. I know you could be spending your time doing any number of other things, but you’ve chosen to be here to help them, and that means so much to them and to me.”

Marc McClure, Chief Superintendent

“We are grateful for partnerships that promote education, accountability, preparation, successful reentry, and second chances. Thank you, Mississippi Impact Coalition, for coming to Parchman Farms and helping our men prepare for what comes next.”

Inside the walls, alongside the people.

Leadership, growth, and change do not begin after release. They begin now.

Pathways to Success graduation

We had the honor and the privilege to attend the ladies graduation at CMCF. They completed Pathways to Success, which includes multiple different certifications as well as faith based commitment. We were blessed to hear talented music performed by the 10-99 band. You could feel the motivation and determination in the air.

Backpacks for students inside

Mississippi Impact Coalition was honored to provide backpacks to individuals at CMCF participating in education programs while incarcerated. What inspired us most was seeing those inside these facilities stepping up as instructors, mentors, and leaders while using their knowledge and lived experiences to teach and uplift others.

Cool treats on field day

The Mississippi Impact Coalition had the honor of bringing cool treats to the students and staff at Shirley Elementary, and nothing fills my spirit like watching JPS Scholars light up choosing their favorite treat on a hot field day. Those smiles will stay with us.

This is what community looks like. This is why we do the work and fight like hell for generations to come.
