A federal appeals court upheld the takeover of Mississippi's Raymond Detention Center due to abuses.

A federal appeals court has upheld the takeover of the Raymond Detention Center in Hinds County, Mississippi, due to ongoing unconstitutional conditions, including assaults and deaths.

This decision follows a 2022 ruling citing severe deficiencies at the facility, which resulted in seven deaths in 2021.
