Wilkinson Work Center Overview
Wilkinson County Community Work Center is an MDOC community-confinement facility at the same Woodville address that MDOC also uses for Wilkinson County Technical Violation Center. The MDOC facilities list includes the work center and technical violation center, which makes it important to treat the page as a state corrections facility rather than a county jail page. The operator is Mississippi Department of Corrections, and the population is made up of MDOC residents, not newly arrested county pretrial detainees.
The 2025 PREA final audit lists the physical address, primary contact Shanell Reed, facility director Elizabeth Foster, health service administrator Jonnencia Wyatt with VitalCore, male population designation, age range 20 to 65, minimum custody, and community confinement status. The work center and technical violation center naming can look like two separate search paths, but both are handled through MDOC records and the MDOC locator family.
Wilkinson Work Center Population
The 2025 PREA final audit lists a designed capacity of 102, current population of 67, and average daily population of 72 for Wilkinson County Community Work Center. It also reports no over-capacity point during the prior twelve months. MDOC's November 2024 daily population sheet separates the same overall capacity into Wilkinson Satellite Facility capacity of 62 and Wilkinson TVC capacity of 40, matching the combined 102-capacity picture.

| Current population | 67 | 2025 PREA final audit |
| Average daily population | 72 | 2025 PREA final audit |

Search Wilkinson Work Center Residents
Use MDOC inmate search or the MS.gov inmate search for someone at Wilkinson County Community Work Center or Wilkinson County Technical Violation Center. If the person has moved from custody to supervision, use MDOC parolee search, which supports searches by first name, last name, MDOC ID, city, and county. The sheriff's local jail records do not control these MDOC placements.
- Open the MDOC inmate search and choose name or MDOC ID number.
- Enter the last name and first name, or use the MDOC ID number if known.
- Check the location field for the work center, technical violation center, or another MDOC facility.
- Review the public profile for sentence, offense, county of conviction, unit, and location change date.
- If no inmate result appears and supervision is possible, repeat the search in MDOC parolee search.
A local arrest in Wilkinson County starts with the sheriff's office, not the work center. A person comes into this MDOC setting through state corrections placement, technical violation custody, transfer, or community-confinement status. For county booking and jail docket questions, use the Wilkinson County Jail page instead of this MDOC page.
Wilkinson Work Center Contact
The work center contact line is the published facility channel for arrival questions, visiting status, and basic facility routing. Sentence records, jail credit, and statewide custody questions may need MDOC Records. Because this facility is a community-custody setting, confirm whether a resident is eligible for visits, whether the person has been moved, and whether the technical violation center or work center is the current location.

Wilkinson Work Center Visits
MDOC rules and facility approval govern visits at Wilkinson County Community Work Center and the technical violation center.

Wilkinson Work Center Mail and Money
The research does not include a work-center-specific commissary vendor, deposit fee table, phone vendor, video vendor, or mail-format sheet. Use MDOC and the facility as the official source before sending funds or mail. A practical call should ask whether the resident's full name, MDOC ID number, unit, and facility label are required, and whether the resident is assigned to the work center or technical violation center for mail purposes.
| Service | Official detail found | Best next step |
|---|---|---|
| Mail address format | Facility-specific format not captured | Confirm exact line order and MDOC ID requirements. |
| Money deposit | No facility-specific vendor documented in research | Use only MDOC-confirmed deposit channels. |
| Phone or video | No facility-specific provider documented | Ask the facility for current provider and account rules. |
| Sentence records | MDOC Records handles statewide record questions | Contact MDOC Records for time, credit, or eligibility questions. |
Wilkinson Work Center Intake
Work center intake is a state corrections process. It is not the same as a sheriff's booking after arrest. Residents may arrive because of MDOC classification, community-confinement placement, transfer from another facility, or technical violation handling. A technical violation is a supervision violation that does not necessarily involve a new criminal conviction, while community work center custody is tied to minimum-custody status and MDOC placement rules.
- CWC
- Community Work Center, a minimum-custody MDOC community-confinement setting.
- TVC
- Technical Violation Center, a facility track tied to supervision violations and MDOC custody.
- Minimum custody
- A lower security classification used for residents who meet MDOC placement standards.
- Location change date
- The date an MDOC public profile shows for the current placement update.
Wilkinson Work Center Conditions
The 2025 PREA audit is the main official condition and oversight source for the work center. It documents community-confinement status, the facility director, health-services administrator, capacity and population, staff count, and PREA findings. The audit reports 3 standards exceeded, 38 standards met, and 0 standards not met. It also identifies the Mississippi Coalition Against Sexual Assault in outreach.
The audit lists 12 staff with resident contact, 0 contractors, and 0 volunteers in the facility-characteristics section. It describes the population as male, ages 20 to 65, and minimum custody. Those details support a limited but accurate picture of the facility. They do not create a live roster and should not replace an MDOC search for current location.
Note: Confirm the resident's MDOC location and current visit status before relying on old placement information.
