The Delta Correctional Facility had previously been closed for a number of years until the Mississippi Department of Corrections took ownership. Under MDOC's initial control, the facility was supervised by the Community Corrections division and served as a Technical Violation Center, a Community Work Center, and a Restitution Center.

In 2022, the facility was transferred to the Institutions division and is now designated as a major state facility. The facility houses approximately 300 female inmates. The facility is now primarily aimed at the rehabilitation and workforce development for adult female inmates. Programs are being developed and plans include, but not limited to, offering Alcohol and Drug Counseling and GED educational programs.
