Inmate Litter Program
MDOT partners with local counties to use inmate labor to remove litter from the State’s right-of-ways. MDOT assists in securing transportation mileage reimbursement, guard salary and when available, a vehicle. Keep Mississippi Beautiful purchases trailers for the sheriff’s departments for the faster removal of bagged litter.
Crews of inmates pick up litter on the state maintained highway systems with a deputy to supervise the work. MDOT furnishes trash bags, safety vests, gloves and advisory signs.
