The City of Greenville and Washington County will soon lose its inmate workforce after the Mississippi Department of Corrections has decided to close its Beauchamp Avenue center.

The decision to shut the doors to the Washington County Community Work Center stems from MDOC’s budget woes, Christy Gutherz, deputy commissioner of Community Corrections for the Mississippi Department of Corrections, announced during Tuesday’s City Council meeting.
