Mississippi lawmakers have expressed concern about the lack of progress in a review of the state’s prison healthcare system. The issue was raised by Tate Reeves, who sent an email to a state lawmaker with what he described as a "report" on the status of the review [1]. This comes after months of delays and criticism from lawmakers who argue that the review is crucial for addressing the poor conditions in Mississippi prisons. The delay has led some lawmakers to question whether the firm hired by the Department of Corrections, which oversees prison healthcare, is adequately performing its duties. They have called for more transparency regarding the progress made on the review [1]. In a separate development, the state’s attorney general, Lynn Landers, also expressed frustration with the lack of action from the review firm and has threatened to take legal action if no results are provided by a set deadline [2]. This move indicates that lawmakers may be pushing for more accountability in ensuring that the review is completed as promised.
