Phase one of new Hinds County Jail aiming for summer 2025 completion date
SUMMARY: Construction has begun on a new Hinds County jail in Mississippi, with the first phase expected to be completed by summer 2025. The new jail is a $100 million-plus project and will be a significant improvement from the current Raymond Detention Center, which has experienced deteriorating conditions and breaches since its opening in 1994. The new facility, designed by CDFL Architects + Engineers and built by Benchmark Construction, will be located on 35 acres and have the capacity to house up to 700 beds. Additional security measures have been implemented at the Raymond Detention Center to prevent further breaches.

SUMMARY: Mississippi’s only major-league affiliated team, the Biloxi Shuckers, was eliminated from the 2025 Southern League playoffs after a 4-2 loss to the Montgomery Biscuits in game two of the Division Series. This marks the second consecutive year Montgomery has ousted Biloxi. The Shuckers finished the season 74-64, winning the South Division first-half title. Manager Joe Ayrault, who battled and beat stage 3 colon cancer during the season, praised the team’s effort. Despite an early lead from Jesus Made’s homer and Blake Burke’s RBI single, Montgomery rallied in the eighth inning to win. Biloxi’s next season starts April 3, 2026.

SUMMARY: The NCAA has approved eliminating the spring transfer period for FBS and FCS college football players, following a recommendation to modify the recruiting calendar. The new system introduces a single 10-day transfer portal window from January 2-11 for undergraduate and postgraduate players, replacing the current 20-day December window and 10-day April window. Coaches can still enter the portal within 30 days if their coach leaves or is fired. Players in postseason games after January 7 have a five-day transfer window post-final game. The rule aims to reduce leverage use for NIL deals and takes effect in the upcoming cycle, despite some coaching concerns.
