31 Miss. Code. R. 2-7.2 - Procedure

1. A District Attorney, or designated staff, must submit a letter to the CIC informing CIC that the person is being considered for the pretrial intervention program. The letter must be submitted on the letterhead of the District Attorney and include the following information:

a. Name

b. Date of birth

c. County

d. Race

e. Place of birth

f. Sex

g. Social Security Number

2. A check is completed by a Records Technician to determine if the individual has previously been accepted into the program. If no record is located, the name is added to the pretrial database with a "pending" status; when the request is accepted, the status is changed to "accepted". If the person is currently in the system with any status (pending, completed, or failed) or if the individual has made prior application to the program, CIC mails a letter to the District Attorney's office concerning this prior application.

3. A letter is forwarded to the District Attorney's Office indicating whether or not entry into the intervention program can be granted. Sample copies of these two letters are included in Sections 7.0.1.
