Preferred term
Parchman Farm Penitentiary
Definition
- Situated in a remote area of the Yazoo Delta of Mississippi, Parchman Farm is, perhaps, the most notorious penal institution in the American South. For many years, prison authorities based their regime on the racial oppression and physical exploitation of inmates and resisted nearly all attempts at reform.
