Mississippi Code
Chapter 45 - Statewide Automated Victim Information and Notification System
§ 99-45-5. Department of Corrections required to update offender information frequently; no cause of action created by failure of automated system to provide notice to victim

The Department of Corrections must ensure that the offender information contained within the automated victim notification system is updated frequently enough to timely notify a crime victim that an offender has been released, has been discharged, or has escaped. However, the failure of the automated victim notification system to provide notice to the victim does not establish a separate cause of action by the victim against the state, local officials, or against the Department of Corrections.
