“Hundreds of other environmental sanitation deficiencies are also identified across the prison, including instances of black mold and mildew, exposed wiring, raw sewage as well as showers and ice machines that were inoperable.

Many of these issues are repeated across state health inspection reports since 2016, a Mississippi Today review found.“
