Created by J.R. on July 06, 2015

My name is Jimmie Roach, Prison Number 09220, and I am presently incarcerated in the South Mississippi Correctional Facility, P. O. Box 1419, Leakesville, Mississippi 39451. I have been convicted and sentenced for possession of cocaine and possession of Hydromorphone (Hydromorphone is more commonly known as DiLaudid).
I was sentenced to forty- eight (48) years on the possession of cocaine charge with a one million dollars fine and sixty (60) years on the possession of hydromorphone charge with a two (2) million dollars fine. The sentences are to run consecutively without parole. That means I am serving a mandatory one hundred and eight (108) years sentence for a non- violent offense and allegedly possession of a small amount of drugs. I am Fifty –Five (55) years of age.
