Flowood CWC (Recidivism Reduction Program) Overview
MDOC lists Flowood CWC (Recidivism Reduction Program) as a Community Work Center at 1632 Hwy 80 West in Flowood. The facility phone is 601-936-7213, fax is 601-936-7216, and the MDOC listing identifies Katrina Reid as warden. The facility is part of the Mississippi Department of Corrections system, so the right search source is the MDOC inmate locator, not the Rankin County Sheriff's Office jail roster.
The "CWC" label matters. A community work center or recidivism reduction placement is not the same thing as a local pretrial jail. The Rankin County Detention Center in Brandon holds current county jail inmates after local arrests and uses a public current-inmates roster. Flowood CWC is for MDOC community-custody participants and correctional programming, so current location, custody status, visitation approval, and money rules follow state corrections procedures.
Families often search the county roster first because Flowood is inside Rankin County. That can be useful only if the person has a separate current booking at the county jail. If the person has been sentenced, assigned through MDOC, or placed in the community work center program, the MDOC locator and the Flowood facility phone are the practical confirmation path.
Flowood CWC Capacity and Population
The MDOC facility page reviewed for Flowood CWC did not publish a separate capacity figure. Research did locate a historical state facility population reference for Rankin County Community Work Center of 239 on June 30, 2012, but that is historical context and should not be used as a current capacity. A November 2024 MDOC daily population report listed CMCF Work Release at 30 for November 1 through November 4, but that report is a CMCF campus work-release line, not a separate current number for Flowood CWC.
Because no current facility-specific capacity was published in the facility page material, avoid estimating occupancy or comparing Flowood CWC to the county jail. Use the facility phone for current assignment questions and MDOC publications for official population data.
How to Look Up an Inmate at Flowood CWC
Use the MDOC inmate search for Flowood CWC. The MDOC search page allows a name search using first and last name, or an ID search using the MDOC ID number. Search results should be checked for current facility assignment. If the result is unclear, call Flowood CWC at 601-936-7213 and ask whether the person is currently assigned there.
- Open the MDOC inmate search page.
- Search by first and last name, or use the MDOC ID number if it is known.
- Look for Flowood CWC or a related MDOC assignment in the selected result.
- Call 601-936-7213 if the locator does not settle the current placement question.
The county roster should not be used as the primary lookup system for this facility. A person in Flowood CWC may not appear in the Rankin County jail table because that table is limited to current county jail inmates. If an arrest happened before a state placement, use the county public-records request process for booking reports and the court system for case documents, but use MDOC for the current correctional assignment.

Flowood CWC Address and Contact
Call the facility before traveling, sending mail, or relying on an older court or county jail record. Community-custody assignments can change, and the current facility is the better source for daily rules. Court filings, sentence orders, and earlier booking records remain separate from the MDOC facility contact.

Visiting Someone at Flowood CWC
The Flowood CWC facility page did not publish a separate detailed visitation schedule in the research material. Use MDOC's general family and friends rules and call the facility to confirm whether visitation is available, whether the person is eligible, and whether the assignment has restrictions tied to program status. MDOC states that visitation is a privilege and can be suspended or revoked.
Under MDOC rules, the inmate initiates the visitor application process. The visitor completes all parts and mails the application as instructed. Forms are not available online and are not emailed or mailed by MDOC. Each inmate may list 10 visitors, and the list is reviewed annually. Visitors should confirm approval before travel, bring valid identification, and expect search and dress-code enforcement.
| Requirement | Published MDOC Detail | Flowood CWC Action |
|---|---|---|
| Approval | Inmate starts the application process | Confirm visitor approval before travel |
| Identification | Picture ID required for adult visitors | Bring valid ID matching the approved visitor record |
| Search / property | Visitors, vehicles, and property may be searched | Leave phones, wallets, purses, and personal property secured as instructed |
| Schedule | No separate Flowood CWC schedule located | Call 601-936-7213 for current visit availability |
Mail, Phone, and Money at Flowood CWC
Flowood CWC follows MDOC procedures. MDOC money information says inmate banking may be handled online through Premier.Services and in person through Western Union agent locations.

Assignment and Intake at Flowood CWC
Flowood CWC placement is not county jail booking. A person generally reaches MDOC custody after sentencing, commitment, or state corrections assignment. MDOC's general intake process for state institutions includes search, clothing issue, ID card photograph, property inventory, fingerprints, and evaluation by classification, medical, mental-health, and education staff. Community work center placement is part of the state corrections pathway rather than the arrest-to-booking process used by the county jail.
If the person recently moved from Rankin County Detention Center to MDOC, the county roster may no longer show them once released from county custody. The MDOC locator may take time to reflect assignment changes, and the facility phone is the best follow-up when the locator and court paperwork do not match. For older booking details, request records from the sheriff; for sentence and case status, use the appropriate court records channel.
About Flowood CWC (Recidivism Reduction Program)
The Flowood CWC listing identifies the facility as a Community Work Center and Recidivism Reduction Program. That name signals a different population and purpose from the Rankin County Detention Center. County jail pages focus on current arrests, booking photos, bond, and local holds. Flowood CWC focuses on MDOC community custody and correctional programming, with lookup handled through the state locator.
The facility shares the 1632 Hwy 80 West address and phone number with other MDOC-listed Flowood facilities, including Flowood Restitution Center and Flowood Technical Violation Center. Because these facilities have different labels and purposes, callers should ask for the exact facility and assignment rather than assuming all Flowood MDOC custody is the same program.
Note: Confirm current assignment and visit eligibility with Flowood CWC before traveling or sending funds.
