The Corrections Department said that David May, 42, and Dillion Williams, 27, were discovered missing from Parchman during an “emergency count” about 1:45 a.m. Saturday. The Corrections Department said via Twitter Saturday afternoon that there were no major disturbances occurring at Parchman. Like other facilities in the prison system, the prison has limited movement,” the department tweeted. Some prisons, including South Mississippi, have areas where many prisoners are housed in bunks in one large room, instead of individual cells. Five inmates have died in prison violence since Sunday; three of those deaths have occurred at Parchman.
