Area marked in red denotes Parchman Farm's Inner Barricade; inside are the priosn dormitories, guard quarters, convict intake & receiving, chow hall, offices, power generation facilities, etc.,etc.,. Area marked in gray denotes the current fields where convicts work, under the supervision of guards on horseback, armed with M14 rifles
Layout of Parchman Farm
--Set roughly along in a rectangular manner, the Farm has four entrances: Entrances 1 and 2 along US Highway 49 West, Entrance 3 along Parchman Road East and Entrance 4 along Parchmen Road West.
--Along Parchman Road E/W west of US 49W are most of the Farm's locations of interest (from East-to-West there are: Intake & Receiving, Administration, Dormitories A1, A2 - the L-shapes building in the image above - and Dormitories B1 to B5 - the 5-line sideways looking E - ; amidst the general area there are most of the Farm's other buildings of note
--West of that area, dotting both sides of Parchman Road, are various homes that were - and still are - used by corrections guards at Parchman Farm
Rules
(1) All convicts must adhere to the rules set forth in the MS Dept. of Corrections Handbook
(2) When working in the fields and traveling from the dormitories to the fields, all convicts must be shackled with leg irons; any attempt to disable or remove restraints will be dealt with
(3) Violations of Farm Rules are dealt with through inmate segregation from the rest of the convict population (isolation cells are located in one of the smaller, open-air dormitories lining Parchman Road #2) for periods to be determined by Lt. Bryant
(4) Any attack by a convict against another convict will result in the severest of punishments at Parchman Farm: flogging with a cat'o-nine tails of up to 10 strikes; any attack against a corrections officer will be considered an escape attempt and will be dealt with accordingly (guards have 'shoot-to-kill' orders in such an event)
(5) Every convict must work; as the Good Book suggests, those who don't work shall not eat.
