Jackson is terrible.
Jackson is your typical Southeastern U.S. city, only without a draw like a Beale Street or a Bourbon St. or a University/college scene like a Baton Rouge. If there were something to rally around in Jackson, say, the state flagship institution, it would be much more appealing IMO. Imagine Memorial Stadium being a 90,000+ seat SEC stadium and the Fondren area being a nice bar scene that feeds off of that.
ETA: Not to mention the Reservoir area. A flagship university in Jackson would have doubled the size and the economy of that city at least. Too bad the people at the time didn't have the vision to see it.

A friend of mine has a mom who works in a hospital in Jackson and said that about %75 of African Americans that walk in for general entrees are diagnosed with some form of HIV.

Its a shite hole.
My girlfriend is from there and so are half my friends from college. Its a complete shite hole. The food scene is bad, the bar scene is bad (and I've been to them all a lot), and there is simply nothing to do.
Madison is nice (my gf's family lives on the reservoir now), but it is getting over crowded.
I am not saying Baton Rouge isn't a shite hole, but there is tons of bars downtown now and the crime/poverty is contained for the most part in North Baton Rouge.
Baton Rouge shittyness < Jackson's epic shittyness.
Neither approaches Birmingham in overall shittyness. frick BHAM.
