An investigation would be a very good idea just to make sure that none of those bodies were being dumped there by the prison or by the police. Especially since the police were lying to families about the "missing" relatives that ended up there.

Bettersten Wade told the anguishing story of how, months after she filed a missing persons report about her son, Dexter Wade, she was finally told that her son was dead at age 37. The police also told her that county officials had buried him in the local pauper's field, she said.
Police investigators said Dexter Wade had been struck and killed by an SUV driven by an off-duty Jackson Police Department officer on Interstate 55, just hours after his mother last saw him. The police report said Wade was on foot at the time.
Naturally police investigated and determined it was all an accident, neglected to inform the family, and had a bit of a red tap boo boo with the paperwork.These things happen.
It’s hard to understand the mindset of casual incompetence and corruption if you’re not from there. Local government runs on nepotism and good ol boys networks - it’s such a standard ingrained practice that it is not even surprising or cause for concern when you notice it. It’s part of why these areas stay perpetually poor and get brain drained to hell
They have their own laws
"It's not a placed to dump inconvenient bodies, it's just a place where at least some of the bodies are people of known identity who were killed by police or corrections officers that cleared themselves of wrongdoing and somehow forgot to tell anyone."
Very reassuring. I think we can all agree that this isn't worth investigating because Mississippi has always been a place bereft of racial bias and government corruption.
>> These things happen.
No, they really don’t. That’s why it has made national news.

unidentified persons
what does this even mean ? did the person refuse to say who they are ? so the person has been tried and sentenced and put in jail and filed under a picture. so you can put anybody in jail, deny him any contact with external world and claim he's unidentified ?"Inmates from local jails" and "unidentified persons" are separate categories.
