The Hinds County MS Restitution Center is a medium-security detention center located at 429 South Gallatin St Jackson, MS which is operated locally by the Hinds County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Hinds County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service and the Jackson Police Department who do not have their own long-term lock-up.

MDOC’s restitution center program provides an alternative to incarceration for minimal risk offenders who are in need of a more structured environment. Residents serving time in a restitution center are referred to as residents. Residents who qualify for the restitution center program are required to work and pay full or partial payments to crime victims. Residents also have to pay room and board fees ($10 per day), court fees and establish a savings account. Residents are required to serve a minimum of 40 hours of free community service.

MDOC currently has four restitution centers located in Hinds County (Jackson), Jackson County (Pascagoula), LeFlore County (Greenwood) and Rankin County (Flowood). Each restitution center houses about 62 residents. For mailing addresses, Restitution Centers.
