Tennessee Department of Correction

TDOC’s Citizens’ Correctional Academy is back! Since 2014, over 250 Tennesseans have gotten a behind-the-scenes look at our prison operations, rehabilitative services, probation and parole, clinical services, and special operations divisions. Last night, 27 members of Cohort 14 began their journey through the academy with a visit to the Riverbend Maximum Security Institution, where they toured inmate housing units, educational and vocational programs, and the Braille transcription program.  Next week, we are headed to the Debra K. Johnson Rehabilitation Center. Stay tuned! #CitizensAcademy

Today, we remember the 2,977 lives lost, honor the 6,000 Americans who survived, and recognize the lasting consequences September 11, 2001, had on an immeasurable number of lives. #911memorial

There’s nothing like a high-five ✋ to start the day! TDOC officers in Memphis joined Delano Elementary School administrators to welcome students back to school with smiles as they entered the building and donated snacks to the teachers' lounge 😊. “Their bright smiles showed how much a small gesture means,” shared Probation Parole Officer Michelle Hill. #BackToSchool #TeamTDOC

From our drug detection K9s working to keep the facilities safe, to our tracking dogs who have saved countless lives in the community, and the Retrieving Independence pups who have an important role in the rehabilitation of offenders – dogs play a huge part in helping TDOC meet its mission. Happy #internationaldogday to our four-legged pawtners who help keep Tennessee a beautiful place to live and raise a family!

Join us today or Saturday at the Johnson City Day Reporting Center for a special hiring event! We’re doing on-the-spot interviews and giving contingent job offers to qualified candidates for positions at the Northeast Correctional Complex! Come start your rewarding career with #TeamTDOC today!
