The Tennessee Department of Corrections has revealed a significant shift in its mail delivery system for inmates, set to take effect on November 3. This new initiative will replace traditional physical mail with a system that utilizes scanned and digitized personal correspondence. Inmates will have the opportunity to access their mail via tablets issued by the Tennessee Department of Corrections.
This transition aims to enhance security within the prison system by minimizing the potential for contraband to be smuggled in through physical letters. Additionally, the digitization of mail is expected to streamline the delivery process, ensuring that inmates receive their correspondence more quickly and reliably. The department believes that these changes will contribute to a safer environment for both inmates and staff alike.
