Department of Justice federal obligations in Mississippi

Department of Justice shows $620,174,428.34 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Mississippi, across 764 awards. Awarding-agency 015 and Mississippi (MS) are the pair. 764 awards against $620,174,428.34 is a 764-award justice file, fewer rows than Arizona’s DOJ join, still a nine-figure sum. The implied mean is about $811,746.63 per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical invoice. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

Key figures

  • Department of Justice obligated $620,174,428.34 in Mississippi across 764 awards (USAspending.gov).
  • The pair is awarding-agency 015 × place-of-performance MS.
  • Amounts are obligations, not outlays; no fiscal year is in this packet.
  • The implied mean near $811,746.63 is $620,174,428.34 divided by 764, not a typical award.
  • The join does not name contractors and does not measure prosecutions, prison beds, or unique defendants.

Agency 015 overlapping Mississippi

Department of Justice as awarding agency, Mississippi as place-of-performance: 764 records summing to $620,174,428.34. A Department of Justice award coded outside MS is out. An award in Mississippi from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Mississippi (MS) excludes Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Alabama. A Jackson-coded award with a Louisiana place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

764 awards against $620,174,428.34 is a 764-award justice file, fewer rows than Arizona’s DOJ join, still a nine-figure sum. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 764 as 764 unique prosecutions, prison beds, or unique defendants. Department of Justice in Mississippi is the both-keys table. Mississippi federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Justice is the agency book without an MS filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Northern and Southern District folklore is unpublished. Do not invent named courthouses or prisons as extra dollars. Unique defendants stay unpublished on this 015 × MS join. Correlation is not causation: Mississippi did not cause $620,174,428.34 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 015 × MS only.

764 rows are not unique prosecutions

$620,174,428.34 does not measure prosecutions, prison beds, or unique defendants. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 015 and an MS place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 764 awards as a census of prosecutions, prison beds, or unique defendants. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Mississippi federal spending or Department of Justice matched $620,174,428.34 and 764, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state DOJ joins are other pairs, not addends.

Mississippi, not a Jackson-Gulfport map

Place of performance MS is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Mississippi (MS) excludes Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Alabama. A Jackson-coded award with a Louisiana place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $620,174,428.34 by city, county, or named facility. 764 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Justice obligations stay commitments

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $620,174,428.34 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Mississippi confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Mississippi’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 764 awards USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $620,174,428.34. Sharing a geography with Department of Justice does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.

Citing DOJ in Mississippi

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Justice (agency 015) obligated $620,174,428.34 on 764 awards coded to Mississippi. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as prosecutions, prison beds, or unique defendants.

Prefer Department of Justice in Mississippi if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Mississippi federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to MS. Department of Justice is the 015 parent without the MS filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $620,174,428.34.

A usable footnote names Department of Justice, Mississippi, $620,174,428.34, and 764. The compact headline $620.2M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $811,746.63 is $620,174,428.34 divided by 764. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
