Legal Question in Criminal Law in Mississippi

There is a spouse who was charged with 2nd degree murder of their own child (due to an accident as they had no intent to harm the child) and placed on the predator list. This spouse want tho move VIA interstate compact to MS with their significant other who has lived there for years. MS has already turned this spouse down once due to the significant other living too close to a park. Nobody is giving the person (already living in MS) and answers and these Department of correction and probation boards are always trying to avoid questions regarding it. Do you think that regardless of where the significant other moves in MS, that they will always be turned down due to the severity of this persons crime? Should the significant other just move to their spouses state that they are about to be released from and just leave MS behind, or should they get a lawyer and try to fight it?

In Mississippi it is illegal to cohabit with a member of the opposite sex without benefit of marriage thus the Department of Corrections will deny any request he has to live with his significant other unless they are married, regardless of where they live, once it is realized that he desires to live with this person without benefit of clergy.
